About

Puerto Rico's Regions

North

Discover impressive caves, beautiful beaches, and fine resorts.

Nine towns comprise the north region of Puerto Rico, also known as the northern karst because of its large limestone hills (you’ll often notice white stone peaks poking through the green blanket of forest). The diversity of the karst belt and the landscape it forms make this setting unique in the world, and many northern beaches are known for their impressive rock formations.

West

Catch some waves and laid-back vibes in Puerto Rico's capital of surfing and sunsets.

Home to some of the best beaches on the Island, the west region is the undisputed surfing capital of Puerto Rico – and the Caribbean – and features the best sunsets on the Island. The feel on the west side is different from the hustle and bustle of the San Juan metropolitan area. Towns here have a more relaxed surfer vibe, which isn’t a coincidence since surfers flock to Rincón from all over to ride the waves at iconic beaches like María’s beach and Domes.

South

Immerse yourself in the colorful architecture, historic art, and stunning natural beauty of this hub of culture and history.

Puerto Rico's southern region is comprised of 11 towns that offer visitors remote beaches nestled up to the calm waters of the Caribbean and marinas for boating excursions. This area is a natural destination for outdoor recreation such as water sports and sightseeing.

East

Puerto Rico's enchanting east region offers secluded beaches, tropical cays, and a legendary rainforest.

This region of the Island—comprising 15 towns and two small islands—offers a great combination of coastal and inland life with tranquil beaches, diverse towns, upscale resorts, great museums, botanical gardens, art galleries, roadside chinchorros, and upscale restaurants. Less than an hour from San Juan is El Yunque National Forest, one of Puerto Rico's greatest natural and cultural treasures. A bit further east you'll find the beautiful beaches of Fajardo, a gateway to the small islands that lie just off Puerto Rico's eastern coast.

Central Mountains

Puerto Rico's Central Mountains are known for small towns, food excursions, and lots of adventure.

Away from the coast is la Cordillera Central, Puerto Rico’s interior mountain region, which runs from east to west through 14 municipalities. With a history and culture rooted in agriculture, this region has diverse vegetation and produces most of the Island’s coffee, which you can taste at several haciendas. Venture into majestic mountains to savor tasty creole cuisine and take in the sweeping views in every direction.
