I went to Puerto Rico last summer and had an AMAZING time. The beaches are beautiful, and the historic centre is full of art, history and culture. For my next trip, I want to go to Vieques Island to experience the Bioluminescent Bay at night.

There are so many reasons to visit this Caribbean island. Matt Long, of LandLopers.com, agrees. His article, Five Reasons to Visit Puerto Rico in 2012 encapsulates why this should be your next trip.

Here's an excerpt:

1. Caribbean – For the most populated American territory, Puerto Rico has done a masterful job of retaining its unique, Caribbean culture. Yes, there are McDonalds and large retail stores, but there are also beaches, restaurants and bars that are quintessentially Caribbean. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to enjoy that unique, indefinable quality of the islands, San Juan is one of the best places to start.
