The best time to travel to Puerto Rico is between December and April, when the weather is cooler and drier, which means you’re less likely to experience rainy days.
In fact, this time coincides with the peak tourist season in the Caribbean.
No entanto, eu viajei para Porto Rico em julho e a viagem correu muito bem, apesar de ser a época mais quente e húmida do ano.
Isto porque apesar de o clima das Caraíbas pode ser imprevisível, com a preparação adequada, é possível aproveitar a viagem em qualquer estação.
Don’t make the mistake of staying only in San Juan!
My recommendation is that you rent a car and set off to discover beautiful colonial towns such as Ponce or Adjuntas.
