You should travel to Puerto Rico, it's a beautiful place with beautiful and lots of places to visit. Puerto Rico is a mixture of historical and current culture. It has latin and american food and gorgeous beaches.
If you're looking for a place to stay, a great place to stay would be Hosteria Del Mar in San Juan, Puerto Rico's capital. The hotel has a pool and you can get your own mini apartment with a kitchenette during tourist season for $244-$264 (or #199-$209 in the off season). The address is Calle Tapia 1, San Juan 00911. This hotel is perfect or just some relaxation after a long day of site seeing.
Awesome places to visit while in Puerto Rico include El Yunque Rainforest. It is such a gorgeous place to just walk around and to see the beautiful waterfalls, plants and flowers, and to watch the different animals interact with one another. Or if you're more into architecture, you could visit the Castillo de San Felipe Del Morro. It was built in 1540 as a fortress to defend Isla Verde, but now it just serves a a museum. There is also Casa Blanca that was built in 1521 and was home to Juan Ponce de Leon's descendants for two and a half centuries. Afterward it was used to house military officers. Now, it serves as the Juan Ponce de Leon Museum. There's also La Casa Del Libro that is the home of many acient books and scrolls of the country. Or if you are looking for something the kids would like, you could always go to Time Out Family Amusement Center. This place is like a huge arcade with games the whole family can play and keep busy, it just doesn't have any rides.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat, there are three great places to go depending on what you want. If you are looking for what we eat in America, there's El Hamburger in Puerta de Tierra. They sell the usual hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, and more. Then again, if you are looking for something more traditional Don Tello in Old San Juan is a good place to go. They sell traditional Puerto Rican food such as a variety of sea food, savory chicken stew, steak, and more. Or there is Metropol located at Club Gallistic, Av Isla Verde, Isla Verde, that serves a mixture of Cuban and Puerto Rican food. The menu offers such dishes as Cornish Game Hen stuffed with Cuban rice and beans, the Black bean soup is to die for, or you could even get a marinated steak with an egg on top of it most served with plantains and yucca.
Of course you are also going to want to go shopping. If you want to blend in with the locals Hecho a Mano sells locally made clothes and jewelry for women. Perfect for looking like a local. Ole is a little store perfect for crafts or souveneers. They sell things such as woven hats, Silver from Chile, ornaments from Peru, Santos, and many other things from the Latin countries of the world. Or there is El Alcazar that sells antiques if you collect things such as silver, crystal, porcelain, furniture, and more, most of it being from Puerto Rico.
It's just a great little country to visit. You will love it.
