Located in Puerto Rico’s Puerta del Sol region, Aguadilla offers travelers exciting aquatic adventures where world-class surfers head to the sunny beaches to ride some of the best waves in the Caribbean. In the summer, calmer seas provide the perfect environment for snorkeling and scuba diving, and other water activities such as windsurfing and kite surfing.

Ponce is Puerto Rico’s second-largest city, boasting a historic district that evokes the feel of a Mediterranean village with red tile roofs and framed balconies. Visitors flock to the city to experience the diverse architectural styles of the 19th century and cruise the shopping areas, where a pedestrian mall hosts a lively street festival.
