How To Make A Family Trip To Puerto Rico

If you’re looking to make a first international trip with your young kids, Puerto Rico may be the best place to start. It’s even better if you’re travelling from the US as you don’t even need a visa to go there. Neither do you need to exchange your currency as the US Dollar is the currency they use there? Although they have a rich Spanish heritage, a lot of many people speak English so it isn’t too difficult for you or your kids to get around. While there are several ways you can plan your vacation to Puerto Rico, car rental Puerto Rico is one of the best to take in the splendour of the tiny island nation.

Here’s A List Of The Top 3 Things To Do In Puerto Rico

Pay The Forts A Visit In San Juan

There are two main forts in San Juan, El Morro and Castillo San Cristobal. Built by the Spanish there forts are a testament to the strong architectural skills on the Spanish. While both forts are similar there are plenty of things you can learn when you visit them both. They’re only a mile away so you could either walk or take a trolley that connects the two.

Visit A Rainforest

El Yunque, the name sounds mystical and that is it. The only rainforest in America, it is a treat to hike through the heavily wooded forests. If your family isn’t into historical tours, they’ll surely enjoy walking among the tall rainforest trees and watching an entire eco-system built amongst itself. There are plenty of waterfalls to enjoy, each with its own splendour. You can swim in a couple of them, but always make ensure that safety comes first. While not close to the city you can easily find a car rental Puerto Rico to offer you their services.

See The Bioluminescent Bay

Imagine kayaking in a lagoon that glows as brightly as the stars in the sky. You have an opportunity to do just that when you sign up for the tour. You can either rent a single person Kayak, or a two person-Kayak depending on how old your kids are, and how comfortable you are with them riding alone. Here are a few things you should keep in mind before signing up

The bioluminescence is only visible at night, so if you have kids that are too young to stay up all night maybe you should skip this tour

While not exorbitant, the tour still costs a pretty penny and we recommend only paying if you’re fully committed to seeing the tiny organisms that make for the lights

The lagoons are quite a distance from the shore, so be prepared to kayak for a while

To enjoy all the sights you’ll have to either drive to the cities that play host to their natural marvels or fly across the cities. Driving is a better option in our opinion, especially if you’re not short on time. Make sure you find a good car rental Puerto Rico to handle all your bookings. If you can have them booked from the same vendor, you might even find a good deal.
