Every traveler has their own personal travel style. Some like to over pack while others are perfectly happy with a backpack on their back. Other vacationers might love all the luxuries and amenities while more down-to-earth travelers enjoy roughing it. Then there is always the dilemma of whether or not to take one extended vacation or a bunch of short ones throughout the year to savor the moments.
What style traveler are you – long term vacation or weekend getaway? If you’re planning a trip to Puerto Rico, there are benefits to both styles.
Puerto Rico: Perfect for the Weekend Getaway
The great thing about being a weekender in Puerto Rico is how easy it is to get to. There’s no muss and no fuss and best of all no passport involved. Since it is a commonwealth of the United States, it’s easy breezy to get to; all you have to do is make your plans and several hours later you will have arrived.
What’s great about being a weekender in Puerto Rico? No matter what type of mood you are in, you can find it there. Are you looking to get away from it all and lay helpless on the sugar-sandy beaches for three days on end until you are replenished? Or do you want to get away from the monotony of home life and spice up your nights with a weekend in San Juan? No matter what you are looking for, Puerto Rico has it waiting for you.
If you need to escape for a romantic weekend, there’s no place better than the isle of Vieques where you can wander on the beach by day or stroll under the stars at night.
Have a Long-Term Relationship with Puerto Rico
If you tried island hopping or took several weekends to sneak away to Puerto Rico and are ready for something more long-term, there’s plenty to do and see. Puerto Rico, of course, has stretches and stretches of beaches – some are tranquil and others are perfect for water activities.
However, there is such an exciting mix of things to do and see in Puerto Rico like the lush, plush rain forest known as El Yunque where you can go for a hike thousands of feet above sea level or zip line your way through an adrenaline-raising course. You can venture out on a trip through the Santurce Art District where street art covers the buildings lining the street and where you can find the pulse of Puerto Rico’s music, art, and entertainment culture alive and beating.
Another benefit of going to Puerto Rico for a longer vacation is in being able to lounge all day and rejuvenate on many of the isles like Culebra where you will feel as though you are on a deserted island all to yourself and then at night, you can come to life in San Juan.
San Juan is a vibrant, upbeat city which truly showcases the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico in everything from its food to its music.
Longer vacations to Puerto Rico are perfect if you are experiencing loads of stress and need to get away from it all for a while. Extended periods of time in Puerto Rico have the magical ability to revive and rejuvenate the spirit, mind and body.
If you are burnt from stress at work or on overload as a caregiver, these longer vacations can prove medicinal. Shorter weekend getaways or great to give you a burst of renewed energy.
Either way, short weekend hop or long-term getaway, Puerto Rico has what it takes to soothe your soul.
