Adventure Holidays In Puerto Rico |
Consisting of the main island of Puerto Rico and various smaller islands, the archipelago of Puerot Rico is cut in half by the rocky Cordillera Central, whose high point is Cerro la Punta at 1340m. The northern coast is lush and fertile, while the southern region is drier. In the northeast, steamy rainforest abound, while in the south the landscape becomes parched and stony. The north western country is mountainous, luxuriant and dotted with caves and rock-strewn outcrops.
ADVENTURE SPORTS IN PUERTO RICO
Water sports enthusiasts are certainly catered for in Puerto Rico , with the Caribbean Sea offering great visibility for divers and near perfect conditions for windsurfers and surfers. The continental shelf, which surrounds Puerto Rico on three sides, is responsible for an abundance of coral reefs, caves, sea walls, and trenches. The mountainous interior provides ample opportunities for climbing and trekking that are especially appealing because panoramas open at the least-expected moments, often revealing spectacular views of the distant sea.
