The capitol of Puerto Rico, San Juan is one of the best places to visit. It is in the northeast side of the Island, and features distinctly century-old architecture, such as Spanish military forts built from 1540s to 1800, an active harbour, and a very economic area in the Hato Rey district. San Juan boasts magnificent beaches, hotels, historic sites, casinos, etc.
San Juan is known as 'La Ciudad Amurallada' (the walled city).

Rincon, a municipality founded in 1771 by Luis de Anasco, with a population about 17,000 and is the third richest municipality only after Carolina and San Juan.
Aguadilla, known as La Villa del Ojo de Agua (village of the three water) also known as El Pueblo de los Tiburones (town of the sharks) and recently known as El Nuevo Jardin del Atlantico (the new garden of the Atlantic). Aguadilla was home of the Ramey Air Force Base and its former base airport was converted into Rafael Hernandez Airport, considered one of the most active commercial airports on the island. You can flight from Aguadilla Airport by using flight code BQN. The Punta Borinquen Lighthouse, also located in this city and built in 1889, has been designated a historic site worthy of preservation by the National Register of Historic Places.

Mayaguez, the 8th largest municipality of Puerto Rico also known as La Sultana del Oeste (The Sultaness of the West); it is famous by the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez Campus, its Zoo and Casinos. Mayagüez is home of the only Zoo in the island.

Camuy is known as 'La Ciudad Romántica' (The Romantic City) and 'La Ciudad del Sol Taíno' (City Of the Taino Sun). The town was founded in 1807.

If you take only one sightseeing trip from San Juan, this should be it. From Arecibo, on the north shore, go southwest along Route 129 to the Río Camuy Cave Park. This incredible 268-acre park is the site of the great subterranean caverns carved out by the Camuy River over one million years ago. The impeccably maintained trails gently descend 200 feet through a fern filled ravine to the yawning, cathedral-like caverns. The caves are home to a unique species of fish that is totally blind. To visit this pristine site is to be transported to another, hidden world. Rio Camuy Cave Park is the third-largest cave system in the world. Sixteen entranced have been found and 11 kilometres (7 miles) of passages explored so far. One special attraction is the Cueva Clara, which measures 695 feet (210m) in length. The park is equipped with picnic areas, walking trails, food facilities, and exhibition hall and a souvenir shop, making it the perfect place to spend a day.

Camuy territory is mostly flat because the city it is located on the Valley of Quebradillas, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, north of Lares; east of Quebradillas; and west of Hatillo. Its rivers are: Cibao and Camuy.

Arecibo City is one of the largest cities in Puerto Rico, in this city we have the Arecibo Observatory, which is part of the National Astronomy and Lonosphere Center (NAIC) a national research center operated by Cornell University under cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF). The town has an official U.S. port entry. Located 16 km (10 mi) south of Arecibo, Arecibo Observatory is an astronomical observatory, which is one of the world's most powerful radar-radio telescopes, and the largest single-unit radio telescope in the world. It collects radio astronomy, terrestrial aeronomy, and planetary radar data for scientists around the world.

Ponce, well known as La Perla del Sur (The Pearl of the South), 'La Ciudad de los Leones' (The City of Lions) and 'Ciudad Señorial' (Majestic City), because of its many beautiful neoclassical buildings and facades, is place of a historic firehouse building, which is one of Puerto Rico's most notable buildings and it is located at the town square - Plaza Las Delicias - directly behind the Ponce’s Cathedral. The building is now a museum and it was Puerto Ricos's first ever fire station. Ponce is an important trading and distribution centre, and has a port of entry; Playa de Ponce Port is one of the busiest ports in the Caribbean area, handles tobacco, coffee, rum, and sugar cane.

The world class Ponce Museum of Art, designed by Edward Durrell Stone (Museum of Modern Art, NY), is the only museum of stature that houses the most extensive art collection in the Caribbean. The beautiful downtown Plaza de la Delicias is a worthwhile stop, with lovely fountains, a cathedral and local bench sitting denizens.
