On an island as varied as Puerto Rico, the choice of things to do goes well beyond the typical Caribbean-island beach day. By the very nature of its location – in the middle of the Caribbean Sea – many of Puerto Rico’s activities do revolve around water, but it’s not all about the sea with some of the best things to do not by the beach at all, instead including river rafting, cooling down under cascading waterfalls, and swimming in bioluminescent bays.
