puerto rico: I haven't visited Ponce from San Juan in thirteen years and I remember it taking about two and a half hours. Since then I have read that they built a highway making it a quicker trip. Is this accurate? How long did it take you to get from San Juan to Ponce Puerto Rico?|||A little under an hour and a half. they did build a great highway. I just went yesterday and it doesn't take long at all. It's the #52, great road.|||Probably an hour, maybe an extra 30 minutes just in case. Since your basically going south, it should not take long. Have a nice trip!!|||A little more than an hour, if not during peak traffic periods.
