| Country |
In 1492, when Columbus landed in Puerto Rico for the first time, he
found Taino-Indians. Unfortunatly, these have now disappeared and in the
meantime Puerto Rico has developped itself into a modern melting-point
of american and latinamerican culture. Specially in Puerto Rico's capital,
San Juan, you can still find many buildings dating from the colonial times.
The rest of the country is known for its attractive coastlines, coffee
plantations, tropical rainforests and mountains in the interior of the
country. As Puerto Rico belongs to the USA, the price level is comparable
with the one from the US. |
| Climate |
The Climate in Puerto Rico is comparable with the one in Cuba or the
Dominican Republic. The average temperatures are between 27°-30°C.
Short and intensive rainfalls are common throughout the whole year. The
rainy season is from May to October. |
| Entry regulations |
For a stay of up to 90 days, travellers from most western
countries only require a passport valid for at least a further six months.
