If you’re in the mood for an exotic vacation, but don’t want
to worry about needing a passport, or exchanging currency; consider Puerto Rico
as your next vacation destination.
Although you will feel as if you are in a totally different country,
Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory in 1898. You will find that Spanish is the
primary language spoken there of course, the cities are built much like the
architecture you see in Mexico, and gas is sold in liters rather than gallons.
If you plan to visit Puerto Rico, here is a list of tourist activities and dishes
you won’t want to miss during your vacation.
Food
·
Mofongo- One
of the country’s most famous dishes, Mofongo consists of a mixture of seasoned
mashed plantains, and your personal preference of meat, seafood, or veggies.
There is hardly a chance you won’t find this dish on a menu at any restaurant
on the island.
·
Asopao-
A classic favorite among the people of Puerto Rico, the equivalent to your mother’s
chicken soup, Asopao is considered more of a gumbo rather than soup containing
a variation of chicken, rice, shellfish, pork, ham, peppers, pigeon peas,
olives, tomatoes, and other ingredients.
·
Lechón- This traditional dish in Puerto Rico is
a seasoned whole roasted pig. Pork being a favored meat in Puerto Rico, the pig
is slow roasted between 6-8 hours on a spit over an open flame. In Guavate, a
town located south of San Juan is famous for its weekend pig roasts.
Tourist Sites
·
The
Vieques Biobay- One of the most bioluminescent bays in the world, Vieques
is best viewed during a moonless night. Once you begin kayaking through the bay
you will notice how your oars glow in the green water, and the fish will swim
away from you like a streak of underwater lightning. As you dive in for
yourself, you will see your own body shimmering in the black light. This experience
is one of the most amazing you will experience in Puerto Rico.
·
El Yunque
National Forest- Picture yourself diving beneath a natural waterfall, and
hiking through a rainforest. El Yunque is the place to be in Puerto Rico. Zip
lining is a favored and recommended activity for all thrill seekers who visit.
Children as young as 5 can also enjoy this!
·
The Bacardi
Rum Visitor Center-The tour will include a tram tour, drink making demos,
videos, interactive exhibits, and above all two free tastings.
Traveling can be a difficult task for many timeshare owners.
As they are stuck with maintenance fees and special assessments; financially,
it makes traveling elsewhere almost impossible. If you are stuck in a timeshare
contract, and need a way out; Transfer on the Spot is
your answer.
