I am travelling to puerto rico with my husband for three days and staying in rio mar. What are the places I should for sure visit in Puerto Rico? Also, please give some insight into the night life and places I should avoid, if any. Thanks.|||Interesting Places:
1. El Yunque national forest (make sure you reach the long trail to get to the big waterfall, ask employees rangers)

2. Arecibo Lighthouse
3. Arecibo Observatory Satellite (very impressive)
4. Camuy caverns
5. Beaches of Fajardo and Luquillo
6. Bacardi House, free drinks!

Definetly for night life Old San Juan (avoid la perla the cities ghetto at night).

Nightlife in Old San Juan basically you will expect a city full of lights and antigue medival with spaniard buildings, such as forts, fountains, monuments, the capital house, brick walking roads, boutiques, shops, coffee shops, pubs, clubs and restaurants, museums but only open at daytime.
Music, food, romantic peaceful walks and sights of the sea were the cruise ports are located. These city looks completely different from daytime to night time, its more live at weekend nights like friday and even more saturday nights, in holidays it might be a bit slow and most places closed so avoid going on holidays. At daytime is good to take kids and young ones, its more relaxed and enjoyable for a family picnic day.

Things to Avoid
1. bums
2. people asking for rides in the road or walking up to you for random favors like a flat tire or need money to buy somehing.
3. Do not accept rides from others unless its a public bus or taxis
4. Dont walk in the middle of the night inside or very near to a ghetto (you will notice whats the ghetto like projects or very run down looking places like projects). These places are away from tourists and enjoyable areas, so you wont have a problem.
5. Puerto Rico high crimes are mainly related and not random so you are free to get out of the tourist area and enjoy other places, but its best to avoid going alone to isolated areas at night or to isolated beaches, its best to go a party of three adults or more.|||Well, Rio Mar is a ways out of San Juan. It's very near the rainforest, though.

I enjoyed walking up to the fort and then walking through the cobbled streets of Old San Juan when we were there and then just relaxing when we stayed at Rio Mar. You'll have to have a car if you want to do anything out there.|||Depending on your tastes, you should either avoid or visit the following:

Cock-fights in Isla Verde
The Black Angus Brothel
The dock road in San Juan
The lousy black-jack dealers in the Condado

Almost forgot. The 'bath-houses'.|||Old San Juan -the night tour is especially fun

El Morro- the old fort

El Yunque-the rain forest

Casa Bacardi=Rum , need I say more.

Enjoy the beaches, zip lining, the casino, night life in Isla Verde|||the transexual hookers parts are pretty bad. but the beaches are nice.|||el yunque rainforest
