Puerto Rico delivers on classic Caribbean charm—swaying palms, colorful colonial architecture, and ever-present rum drinks. But this isn’t your grandparents’ Puerto Rico from previous generations. The island is changing and fast. The devastation and resulting challenges wrought by hurricanes Irma and Maria kick-started a widespread, homegrown effort at recovery and rejuvenation. It has only enhanced Puerto Rico's identity, giving it a new, self-assured energy. With ambitious young chefs, contemporary artists, and home to reggaeton’s biggest names right now. If you think this is just another island, it just might make you think again.
