Puerto Rico (Insight Guides)

Insight Guide Puerto Rico is an inspiring visual guide to this vivid and vibrant island, brought to life with hundreds of evocative photographs and lively features on history and culture. Our inspirational Best of Puerto Rico section highlights the country’s unmissable sights and experiences – such as exploring the dramatic Rio Camuy Caves and taking a boat to the glowing waters of Phosphorescent Bay. The comprehensive Travel Tips section gives you all the practical information you need to plan your trip, and our selective listings bring you the author’s recommendations for the best and most authentic hotels, bars, and restaurants.

Lavish magazine-style features offer a unique insight into life in Puerto Rico, from folk art and festivals to wildlife and its national drink, rum. A detailed Places section, with full-color maps cross-referenced to the lively narrative, guides you around the entire island, with detailed descriptions of what to see, from El Morro, Old San Juan’s historic fortress, to remote villages and rainforest-cloaked mountains.
 

Following a degree in Latin American Studies, Sarah Cameron has been traveling and writing on the Americas ever since, both as an economist for a British bank and more lately as an author of guide books. Sarah still dabbles in South America but concentrates on the Caribbean, with many titles for Insight Guides and Berlitz under her belt. When she is not touring the Caribbean sampling beaches and rum cocktails, she retreats to her 17th-century farmhouse in rural Suffolk (England).
