You'll fly into Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean. The capital has enough going on to keep you busy for the duration of your stay, but it also provides easy access to many of Puerto Rico's other destinations. Because this is a seven-day trip, I'm assuming you're flying rather than sailing into Puerto Rico. Check the weather to make sure, but don't overpack for the cold.ĭay One is about getting to the island and settling in. Beyond a sweater or two, you probably won't need warm clothes while you're here. Leave winter behind - Even accounting for hurricane season, it rarely gets cold in Puerto Rico.Make sure you have some space in your luggage! Pack light - There is great shopping in Puerto Rico, not just for internationally famous brands but also for local fashion, souvenirs, and other products.Fashionable and sexy clothing will help you fit right in at the clubs, lounges, and better restaurants. Dress for success - Puerto Ricans are a fashionable lot, and you'll find well-dressed people especially if you're into nightlife.Beachwear - An obvious one, but make sure you pack bathing suits, flip-flops, sunglasses, suntan lotion, goggles, and a nice bag to carry everything with you (you can certainly buy anything you've forgotten once you're here).
What do you need to know before you arrive? This handy checklist covers the basics. You still won't be able to see and do it all, and the two island jewels, Vieques and Culebra, didn't make the list.but that's only because there is so much to cover on the mainland.
A week in Puerto Rico: sounds like a dream vacation! One week will give you the chance to see and do a lot on the island, and this itinerary is designed to help you experience the many sides of Puerto Rico.
