Customer Reviews
I love these guys!!
I will be going to Puerto Rico in May and although it doesn't have much information in the way of visiting Fajardo which is where I am going, it will do just fine. I am very much a traveler of off the beaten path. So this is perfect for me, it's informative, entertaining and without sounding rude at some points anti-tourist. Which is fine with me. :) So I would say if you're going to Puerto Rico pick up a book that's maybe a little more detailed for the part you're going and GET THIS ONE TOO!!
the best hand-guide to have for your vacations
It takes anywhere without complications.I am original from P.R. but I was able to learn about new areas and places to explorer.
