As we always maintain, we love it when new travel options and opportunities come our way. And it’s even better when the options have been around for some time, perhaps dormant, or unappreciated, and they benefit from a refresh. This post’s subject is like that, a place that most everyone has heard of, and perhaps has even been to, a destination that’s been on the cards or has ticked the box when it comes to “been there, done that.” It’s Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico is a place that has it all. For those who can benefit from the background and its status, Puerto Rico, is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean. There are the commensurate cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As ever, you’ll fall in love when you explore the historical and immaculate buildings, lush rainforests, and the hikes through El Yunque National Forest, and abundant hidden waterfalls.
This post, though, goes on a slightly different trajectory. The impressive Parque de las Ciencias by Toroverde has just finished a large revamp of the site. For starters, you can Explore Different Planets: Embark on an interstellar journey through the park’s different themed planets. From the Aerospace Planet, where you can learn about space exploration, to the Archaeological Planet, where you will discover the mysteries of ancient civilizations. Back on earth, Explore the Planet of Biodiversity and discover the incredible variety of life on our planet. Learn about different ecosystems and the importance of conservation.
