Ponce is a very visited place because it has many attractions such as museums and beautiful beaches that increases the interest in the city.
In addition, we can be dazzled by the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Serrallés Castle, learn about the rum industry, walk along the promenade of La Guancha and visit the Hacienda Buena Vista dedicated to the coffee plantation.
Río Mar
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxed place with little nightlife, Rio Mar is an excellent option.
It is located east of San Juan, just 30 minutes away and has one of the most spectacular beaches.
Nearby we find El Yunque National Forest, the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature. Trails ascend to La Mina waterfall and Mount Britton.
Guaynabo
Located on the north coast of Puerto Rico, it is one of the cities with the largest population. Guaynabo has good transportation connections, nightlife and many outdoor activities for the family. However, it has few job opportunities, which encourages its residents to move out to the main work centers in the country.
Guaynabo is a city with good economic resources, low crime rates, and a high level of academic preparation among its residents.
As for entertainment, in this city we can enjoy the forest La Marquesa, the Gavilán viewpoint with amazing views of the city and the ruins of Caparra, considered the first Spanish settlement in Puerto Rico.
Carolina
Known as the land of giants, Carolina is an avant-garde city with a lot of security. It is an area of excellent medical centers and good schools.
One of its main tourist centers is Isla Verde, a destination just a few minutes from the airport, with beautiful beaches and surrounded by hotels and restaurants.
Bucana
A small, quiet and safe city to live in. It is the ideal place to spend your retirement or raise your children, but with few employment opportunities for young professionals.
