San Juan, Puerto Rico

I've never been to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This city, founded in 1521 by Ponce De Leon, is the oldest city in U.S. Territory. The capital of Puerto Rico boasts more than one-third of the island's citizens. San Juan offers much to see and do. Travelers are drawn year round to the beautiful beaches, art galleries, and wonderful restaraunts. Old San Juan offers beautifully restored historic sites and views of crashing surf. Day trips from San Juan include beaches, coral reefs, rainforest and caves.

That I'd like to see.

Puerto Rico

I've never been to Puerto Rico.

A part of the U.S.,....it's geography is greatly varied over the island. Palm-lined beachs, caves, forest preserves-the only tropical rainforest on U.S. soil, rugged mountains. The mountains formed from volcanic activity. While the highest peak towers above the island, just a ways off, is the Puerto Rico Trough, one of the deepest depressions in the Atlantic. If the base of these mountains were at sea level, it has been said that they would tower over Mt. Everst!

That I'd like to see.
