Welcome to the heart and soul of the Caribbean! Puerto Rico is an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea consisting of the main island, four small islands, and hundreds of cats and islets. The island territory is only 100 miles long and 35 miles wide (8,870 square kilometers). Still, it packs a fantastic diversity of sights, scenery, and culture. The real charm of Puerto Rico is its people. The people of the island are charismatic, hospital, super joyful, and passionate. They will make you feel like you belong and will even invite you to dance with them. Boricuas, as the locals proudly call themselves, are optimistic and energetic people, passionate about their cultural heritage and history, which emerges from a mix of Taino, Spanish, and African.
