Puerto Rico offers many diverse activities and so many things to do. Whatever you choose just remember there is no wrong choice!

The Ceiba Country Inn is situated close enough to many attractions, yet offers a quiet respite from the days acitivities. When staying here make sure you plan a visit to El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical forest in the US National Forest System. Spread out over 28,000 mountain acres are lush vegetation, numerous peaks and waterfalls. Start at El Portal Rain Forest Center for guided tour information.

After a day of hiking you may want to cool off at Luquillo Beach, designated a blue flag beach which offers a wide expanse of sand and surf.

If your hunger kicks in do not miss the famous Kioskos, which offer row after row of local and ethnic specialties in front of the beach area just off route 3.

Also in Luquillo is Hacienda Carabali, a 600 acre adventure ranch that offers horseback riding, mountain biking, and ATV tours.

Fajardo is the home of many water and boating activities and is the home of the Caribbeans largest marina (Puerto Del Ray), along with Sunbay Marina and Villa Marina.

Here there are many sail and snorkel adventure tours and other water activities to choose from. And do not forget the incredible bioluminescent lagoon, where you can kayak at night to experience this natural wonder.
