Synopsis
This guide to Puerto Rico covers secluded rainforests and unspoiled off-shore islands, in-depth background on the architecture of Old San Juan and an insight into Puerto Rico's rich culture, from salsa rhythms to handcrafted mascaras for patron saints and the lively club-scene.

First Sentence
From discoveries of conch shells and hatchets in a limestone cave at Loiza Aldea, east of San Juan on the north coast of the island, archaeologists have traced human habitation of Puerto Rico to the 1st century AD. Read the first page

It's worth it!!, 6 Dec 2002

By	"connorkevin" - See all my reviews

Puerto Rico is a small part of heaven in the Caribbean. This guide has an excellent history and culture section, and the reviews of villages/towns are usually spot on. Sometimes basic details are missed out, and two places missing that are definitely worth a visit are Buy� Beach in Boquer�n and Sandy Beach in Rinc�n. Perfect!!!!!

Great guide for a great country - bit too wordy though, 28 Oct 2002

By	Liam Palmer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Puerto Rica (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

Puerto Rico is a bit of the US of A in the Caribbean. The home to hundreds to cruise ships, it is often overlooked by travellers heading to the Caribbean. This is possibly because it is stuck between greatness - better wildlife in Costa Rica, better beaches in Barbados, better culture in Cuba...Puerto Rico combines all of these attractions into a sizable island where you could spend over a week travelling.

This book is great if you go to Puerto Rico for more than a stop over. Most guides to Carribean Islands try to cover the whole region in one text - this is concentrated knowledge. The only criticism, as with all of this series, is the lack of pictures and maps - its all a bit too wordy to really help you make choices.

Having said that, its the only decent guide I could find to this island!!
