Porta Atlántico is Puerto Rico's new tourist region ... but how many of you know the remaining five? Not to worry ... I'm going to cover each of them this week and next. While "Gateway to the Atlantic" may be the newest destination, Porta del Sol, or "Gateway to the Sun," is among its most diverse and beautiful, especially if you love being outdoors.
Think of it this way; my 5 things to do in Porta del Sol includes diving, hiking, dry forests, surfing and whale watching! And all of these experiences are either unique to Puerto Rico or among the best of their kind on the island. In fact, there was so much I liked about this region that I had to break it down into lists of 5 things to do in Cabo Rojo, Rincón and even Isabela.
If you love the beach, the water and a laid back, surfer-and-seafood vibe, you'll love the west coast of Puerto Rico ... also known as Porta del Sol.
