Puerto Rico's nickname, Island of Enchantment, is a fitting sobriquet. Sandy beaches, palm trees, and tropical breezes make it a favorite gateway for the sun and surf crowd. Rugged mountains and a verdant rain forest attract adventure travelers, and lavish lodging with ocean-side golf courses embrace vacationers who crave luxury. Four hundred years of Spanish heritage has left its mark on the island, giving it an Old World elegance. The island's mountainous interior is just as enticing as the beaches, a land of torpid Spanish hill towns and gourmet coffee plantations.
