The Pork Highway
Officially known as La Ruta del Lechón, the Pork Highway is exactly what it sounds like: a three-mile stretch of road where every restaurant specializes in pork. The most popular type of pork is lechón, a special dish in Puerto Rico that involves spit-roasting an entire pig with a blend of sauces and spices. It’s considered the main attraction of the highway, so be prepared to see all kinds of open-air smoke pits with whole pigs slowly turning on skewers.

Get your blood pumping with a trip to the Toro Verde Adventure Park in central Puerto Rico.
It offers zip lines, rope courses and rock climbing challenges that are guaranteed to make you pee your pants a little when you realize just what you’ve gotten yourself into!
The park’s main attraction is “The Beast,” which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest zip line in the world.
Museo de las Americas
There are many museums in Puerto Rico, but only a handful are actually about Puerto Rico. The Museo de Las Americas is one of these precious places. It has artifacts, tokens and textiles from dozens of indigenous groups that lived in Latin America before it was colonized, and it can take you on a multi-continental journey through history.
One of the most interesting things about the Museo de Las Americas is that it’s housed in a series of old army barracks. In the 1800s, the doors led to bedrooms, kitchens, cafeterias and jails; today, they lead to art galleries and recreated scenery rooms.
Visitors from all countries, need a valid passport to land in Puerto Rico.
