Puerto Rico, located between the Dominican Republic and the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, is a predominantly mountainous island with coastal regions in the north and south. Back on land, there’s plenty to keep you busy if you don’t want to laze on a beach. If you’re after adventure, head to the Toro Verde Nature Park, and fly over the rainforest canopy. You’ll feel like Clark Kent for over two minutes. Or you can enjoy some of the world’s best surfing at Rincón. If its amusement that you’re after, hire a sea kayak or explore one of the world’s biggest underground rivers at Camuy River Cave Park. Boredom isn’t an option in Puerto Rico.
