San Juan, Puerto Rico

Many of you had travel plans in 2020 that had to be cancelled. As we #testnegative and #staypositive we have used those accrued flight credits to travel and get the inside scoop on great experiences that you too can enjoy safely and confidently.

We started this trip wanting to make the most of it while still being cost conscious. In the last post, you'll see we used 2020 flight credits to get to Puerto Rico practically free. Next step was lodging, and we found this perfectly located hostel with an amazing rooftop ocean view, clean & comfortable private rooms, and great staff & guests.

What excited us most about checking out this beautiful isle was the food and culture. When traveling these two aspects always go hand in hand. This post is all for the foodie in us, with local delights such as mofongo, empanadillas, tostones, paella, and arroz con habichuela...and we had SO much more but sometimes there is no time for a pic.

Puerto Rico is definitely for the adventurer spirit in us all. It has so much to offer from a lively capital lined with three amazing castillos to a lush rainforest with gorgeous waterfalls ending in cool pools to relax.

We made sure to take it all in visiting Viejo San Juan, hiking the El Yunque Rainforest, walking thru Cementerio Santa María Magdalena de Pazzi in La Perla and getting the inside scoop to a hidden beach from the friends we made along the way. We highly recommend checking out the Castillos in Old San Juan. PR is a great romantic getaway for an adventurous couple needing a safe and affordable vacation post 2020.
