Puerto Rico. Travel Ideas for the Perfect Island Vacation!

[@travelonhigh]

As I can't edit the video here are some corrections/background for the video: There is a huge contravercy over the Taco vs Empanadilla part of the food section. They are called both ways depending on who you ask or where you buy them. The specific spot where I bought them they were labeled and called tacos but they can be called differently by others. I left that out of my video as we just learned this. Also, there is a lot of contravercy over where the Pina colada was created as well but I won't get into that one... Also regarding rainforests "El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System" so I misspoke in the video calling it the only rainforest in the US. There are other rainforests but this is the only tropical one in the US Natl Forest System.

[@thomasvelazquez9789]

Not a taco period!

[@yaixa98]

Caribbean cuisine is different from mexican cuisine. And, depending on the island you are, you can have a myriad of different dishes than in themselves, are unique to each island. PR and Cuban cuisine are very similar. Also with Dominican cuisine. What you ate, regardless of how they called in that estanco, is not a taco, is an empanadilla. I love Luquillo Beach. Thank you for showing us that beautiful PR beaches.

I live in PR and I love to see the videos posted by tourists on KZbin who visit our island. I have to commend you that this is one of the best that I have seen. Your comments on the traffic, food and places that you visited were just spot on. Your views with the drone were just spectacular. 👍 Thanks for visiting our island. Blessings from PR.

[@orquideasbellas]

We visited Puerto Rico also, and found it amazing; we had visited big cities: San Juan, Caguas, Bayamon, Ponce and Mayaguez. Also went to El Yunque Tropical rain forest-this forest gets 400 billions of gallons of rain fall each year. It was a great vacation, unforgettable for us as well. Thanks for you video.

Needless to say we're going back this year and thanks to your video we have so many new places there to explore!

[@FollowerofXto]

For a relatively short travel video, your film did an excellent job of capturing many of the Island’s highlights - and you did so with real respect and joy. Puerto Rico was my home for over 12 years and I cherish the time that I lived there and the many friends that I made there. The Island’s welcoming people, its lengthy history, incredible and varied scenery, foods, artistry, music, and the like -- all are part of my memory and in my heart. Your video did a really fine job of bringing that to the attention of your viewers and potential visitors - and recalling it to those of us who lived there for years. I hope that you have other opportunities to visit the Island and see many things that you weren’t able to experience on your first visit, so you can appreciate even better the beauty of the “Isla del Encanto” - the “Island of Enchantment”.

[@travelonhigh]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really did love Puerto Rico and would love to be able to visit again!

[@andreasanmiguel1453]

Lived here in PR for 28 years…that was one of the best vids I’ve seen. You covered a lot in a short amount of time. Next time you need to hit Camuy caves, Charco Frío, Guanica, Ponce and Hacienda Buena Vista!

[@travelonhigh]

Thank you for your support! We almost went to the caves but missed the tour by a few minutes and needed to wait for a couple more hours. But we want to go next time for sure!

Excelent video! Next time must visit Cayo Caracoles or Cayo Mata La Gata in La Parguera in the town of Lajas.(Cayo Caracoles has no land only mangroves but Cayo Mata La Gata has land and the west part of this cayo has some gorgeous mangrove canals. Caracole/shore.) Also must visit Buyé Beach in Cabo Rojo on the west part of the Island. Additionaly I highly recommend Playa Tortuga in Culebrita (small island Northeast of Culebra). Must take a water taxi from Culebra to get there. Playa Tortuga (Turtle Beach was among the top three beaches I'm not sure if on Trip Advisor) but in my opinión is the best besch in Puerto Rico. Must take a cooler with water and drinks becausr the island is deserted! Good luck!

Any advice for vacationing with an infant like you did? Considering going with a 7 MO

[@travelonhigh]

Biggest thing is getting protection from the sun. Like while in the beach we had a beach tent and a portable fan. Also having a harness is a life saver to be able to walk around like a hike or walking around San Juan. At that age it's easier to just pack them up and carry them along and just feed bottles as needed. Really the only thing you need to worry about is the sun and keeping cool by going inside every now and then, or using a fan.

We just stayed at an AirBnB in Trujillo Alto. But a resort would be nice as well. San Juan area is pretty good as it's central to basically everywhere on the island. Most of the places to check out are spread evenly on each side so driving from San Juan area isn't too bad.

[@sashaswan617]

How was it traveling with your baby? Were the mosquitos a problem for you? We are going with our baby next month!

[@travelonhigh]

It was pretty easy for us, but really depends on the baby haha. As far as mosquitoes we only had a problem at our Air BnB that was in the interior of the island. The city, beaches, and rainforest were free from them, at least we didn't see any.

[@naoxiong6222]

What's the camera/drone used for recording the beaches? Such good quality. I'll be going here soon, and want to take high quality photos too.

It was the DJI Mavic Mini 1. I would suggest getting the mini 3/4 though as the 1 can't shoot 4k but you can still pull some good footage from it with 2.7K.

FYI barbecue was introduced to the world by the Spanish who observed our indigenous people, the Taínos, preparing their food. and called it Barbacoa, now called bar be cue.
