Explore Puerto Rico is a guide and travel overview for the island of Puerto Rico. This book includes a wide range of information, everything from background knowledge on the island's natural and cultural environment through places to stay while on the island to interesting things to do at every stop along the way.
There are nine sections in Explore Puerto Rico: Introduction; Practicalities; San Juan & Environs; Northeastern Puerto Rico; Vieques; Culebra; Southeastern Puerto Rico; Southwestern Puerto Rico; and Northwestern Puerto Rico. The introduction section contains an overview about Puerto Rico. This detailed information includes land, climate, flora, fauna, history, government, economy, culture, and religion of this area. This section also includes general information on transportation, accommodation, dining, and entertainment while enjoying Puerto Rico.
The next chapter, Practicalities, contains contacts and general information on visas, codes of conduct, and health during travel to this island. Each entry contains a short paragraph about each of these general topics including contacts.
The rest of the sections in Explore Puerto Rico focus on particular parts or regions of the island. The first portion of each section describes a little about the particular region including the history. After this overview, specific examples of transportation, accommodation, restaurants, shopping, tourist information, services, and sights are depicted in detail. Each entry contains a short paragraph about the establishment including contacts and potential costs. Also provided in each of these sections is ample information, complete with contacts, on what activities are available in each island region. Several black and white and colour maps and photographs accompany each section.
Explore Puerto Rico is a valuable guide for anyone planning on traveling to Puerto Rico. This key information is provided for easy reference while planning or while traveling.
