Five Things to Do in the East Region

Puerto Rico's East Region has three ridiculously unfair advantages over its fellow regions: They're called Vieques, Culebra and El Yunque. Each one of these destinations, on its own, is enough to vault this part of Puerto Rico into must-visit status. Taken together, they present a formidable (and truly spectacular) trio of destinations. Within them you'll find waterfalls, bioluminescent bays, beaches that make you feel like moving to Puerto Rico, tiny islands scattered like pearls across the sea, and much, much more.

So consider my five things to do in the East Region as the briefest of primers, a guide's version of an amuse-bouche. For me, the more I visit Puerto Rico's East, the more I discover to love about it.
