A few weekends ago I visited Puerto Rico for the first time since 2007. On my first visit to the American territory, I was captivated with the culture—even if the trip was brief. During this trip, I had the time and opportunity to explore even more of Puerto Rican culture and I spent a lot of time just wandering.
Like any Caribbean island, the culture of Puerto Rico is rich. There’s a color and vibrancy not just in the place, but in the people. In the past few years, Puerto Rico has been hit with a number of different crises, but what I found on my weekend trip from NYC was an island full of life and energy. And plenty of rich, bold colors.
I wanted to provide you with a taste of the island—what it looks like today. Here are a few vivid photo moments from my trip.
My visit to Puerto Rico was sponsored in part by the Coqui del Mar Guest House.
