Puerto Rico offers a diverse range of attractions, making it generally accessible via major airports and navigable with rental cars for independent exploration; while solo travel is rewarding, guided tours enhance specific experiences like rainforest hikes or bio-bay visits. The peak tourist season runs from December to April, offering drier weather, though hurricane season (June-November) can bring heavy rains and potential disruptions. A typical visit duration of 5-7 days allows for a good overview including San Juan and El Yunque, with 10-14 days ideal for more extensive island exploration, like visiting Culebra or Vieques. Approximate daily costs can range from $70-150 for budget travelers to $150-300+ for mid-range, utilizing the US dollar. English is widely spoken in tourist areas alongside the official Spanish, and visitors should plan for varied road conditions when driving and be mindful of local safety guidelines.
