There is so much to do in Puerto Rico, so much land to see. To get the most of it, how about taking a tour? No simple walking tour though…take it to the next level. How about a canopy tour while possibly ziplining or horseback riding from Carabalí Rainforest Park into the foothills of El Yunque National Forest? Perhaps a city, mountain, or coastal helicopter tour or charter? The Arecebo Observatory, which is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), houses the world’s largest radiotelescope and is definitely a must see on your visit to Puerto Rico as well. Finally, if you’re looking for a more familiar tour, perhaps trailing alongside shops, head to Plaza Las Americas in Hato Rey for some old and new places to purchase a few fine wardrobe pieces, souvenirs, and more.
