puerto rico: I'm planning to go to Puerto Rico and I want some advice on the best places to visit. (note: Please dont recommend beaches. I'm from the Philippines and Im sick and tired of beaches) Thanks.|||Puerto Rico is quite diverse with beaches as only one of the attractions. Personally my favorite thing to do in PR is go to the mountains. On the east side of PR is the El Yunque rain forest, with abundant hiking and amazing views it makes a great day trip. Near the town of Utuado, a central mountain town that's easy to find due to a highway that goes there, is a cave called Cueva Ventana. All you need is sneakers and a flashlight for this day trip. The hike isn't far, but when you get to the window that looks out over the vally at the end it's worth it. This site is tops for info with directions, makes it really easy to get there http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/cueva-鈥?/a> If you do the cave on the weekend right near there is the Dos Bocas lake, a launch takes you out to local restaurants on the lake. It's a lovely place, and the food is authentic and delicious http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/lago-d鈥?/a> Also near Utuado is a tubing adventure that takes you down a river and through a cave on the Rio Tamano http://www.tanamacavetubingpr.com/index.鈥?/a> In Orocovis is the new Toro Verde adventure park. http://toroverdepr.com/Toro_Verde/Home.h鈥?/a> The Caverns at Rio Camuy, one of the worlds largest river cave systems a must see. http://www.whattodoinpr.com/camuy.html And if you really love adventure there is a tour of the system that is for the adventurous at heart. It's top rated by National Geographic Travel Magazine as well as the NY times.
