Puerto Rico Travel Tips

• No passports needed!

• Bring lots of sunblock, especially in the summer. It gets hot as soon as the sun comes up, and stays hot into the evening. The nights are very pleasant.

• Although most people speak English, it's always helpful to learn a bit of the native language. Check out our FREE online Spanish lessons for help with the basics!
  
  

• Speed limits are in MPH, but exits are numbered in kilometers. This means that if an exit is two exits (kilometers) away, it's only about a mile and will come up quicker than you'd expect! (This caused us to miss an exit on the way back to our hotel which took us on a scenic tour of Dorado's back roads!)

• Although many billboards are bilingual, the road signs are in Spanish. Here are a few basics:

  North = Norte
  South = Sur
  East = Este
  West = Oeste
  Exit = Salida
