Puerto Rico
A US Caribbean territory where 500-year-old Spanish forts wrap a colonial capital, the El Yunque rainforest covers a third of the island, and the bioluminescent bays of Vieques glow blue at night — all on a US passport with US dollars.

San Juan
Puerto Rico
The oldest city under the US flag (founded 1521) wraps two massive 16th-century Spanish forts — Castillo San Felipe del Morro guarding the bay entrance and Castillo San Cristóbal protecting the landward approach — inside seven blocks of cobalt-cobblestone Old San Juan. UNESCO-listed, walkable in a day, and the only Spanish colonial capital you can reach with a US driver’s license. Add the El Yunque rainforest (the only US national rainforest), the bioluminescent bays of Vieques and Fajardo, and the salsa clubs of Santurce — it’s the most culturally distinctive US destination most US travellers haven’t visited.
