For all you lighthouse folks, photographers, or people who want to explore some off-the-beaten-path places — the old lighthouse ruins in Aguadilla (or, as they are referred to here, Las Ruinas) are pretty cool.

A baseball game in Puerto Rico is an economical and fun evening. Every winter, baseball heats up on the island. Not only do we have local players on the teams, but some of the US league players come down to keep in shape and play in their off-season. So, if you are having baseball withdrawal, catch a game while you’re here — you won’t be disappointed.

Tropical Trail Rides ATV Tours at Hacienda Campo Rico is located just a few minutes from San Juan, and yet it feels like a world away.

And then you get to explore a cave filled with bats and more. It is a ton of fun!
