NORTHWEST PUERTO RICO

Called Porta Del Sol, this area,unknown to most Americans (except surfers), is preferred by locals for their vacations. A safe tranquil region where most people speak English, it is an extraordinary natural playground where green mountains tumble into the sea, and where children run barefoot collecting shells in the sand. Relax and enjoy the almost perfect climate: mid 70's at night and mid 80's during the day, just about every day of the year.
