Puerto Rico is becoming a top destination for many United States residents since you don’t need a passport to travel there. It is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean and has so much to offer, making it ideal for a group of people with different hobbies, or for couples looking to explore. However, with so much to do, it can be hard to figure out what you need to experience during your first trip there.
