The weather is nice all year round and while you need to be cognizant of hurricane season (June through November),  the mountainous coastline serves to protect much of the inland island from the fury of hurricanes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="summary"&gt;            &lt;p&gt;Nearly every Puerto Rican town has a Saint's Day and those celebrations can go on for a single day, days in a row and in some cases for an entire week. The celebrations themselves are a melding of pagan and Catholic iconography and Indian, African and Spanish traditions all rolled into one celebration. Along with the long honored religious traditions there is also a lot of food, music, dancing and costumed processions through the towns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One great fest to catch is the Fiesta de San Juan Bautista (Festival of St John the Baptist) in San Juan in late June, which wonderfully fuses the religious and the secular. The highlight of the parade is a communal luck-enhancing midnight walk backwards into the sea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Early February brings  Mayagúez's twinkling La Virgen de la Candelaria and Loíza's jubilant Fiesta de Santiago Apostal, which takes place late July and celebrates the town's African heritage with parades, drum ensembles and lots of music and dancing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old San Juan is the place to be the 3rd week of January and of course if you want to celebrate Carnival, schedule a visit to Ponce and feel the Madres Gras-like spirit that comes only with Carnival. Ponce, where revellers dress up in horned masks for dancing and parades, is the best place to celebrate Carnival in February. Love music? Check out San Juan's Casals Festival which honors Pablo Casals, the famous cellist who came to call Puerto Rico home. This fest draws classical musicians from all over the world and is a major cultural event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And those are just a few more reasons to visit the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, grab your &lt;a href="http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/"&gt;birth certificate,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.texastower.com"&gt;get your passport&lt;/a&gt; and come on!</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/2008/07/when-to-visit-puerto-rico.html' title='When to Visit Puerto Rico?'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5277020558442056683&amp;postID=7843995265783612531' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/7843995265783612531'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/7843995265783612531'/><author><name>Info For You</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15579845829129737489</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277020558442056683.post-1185997984012569812</id><published>2008-07-05T04:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-07T04:48:59.089-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='puerto rico travel'/><title type='text'>U.S. and Puerto Rico Dispute Ancient Artifacts Ownership</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.chron.com/photos/2007/10/23/11944332/311xInlineGallery.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://images.chron.com/photos/2007/10/23/11944332/311xInlineGallery.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In San Juan, there is a lady that was carved in rock over 800-years ago and it depicts a detailed scene. She's squatting down on frog-like legs and her decapitated head is dangling off on the right side. It's graphic and has sparked an ownership debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The carving had been serenely sitting on a rock bank for around 800-years and then in 2007, the  U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came upon her last year while building a $375 million dam to control flooding in the region.  And then a fight for the artifact began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The petroglyph is considered one of the most significant found in the Caribbean. The artifacts were sent to Georgia for analysis. Once the artifacts were in the United States, the U.S. began claiming ownership for the find because the artifacts&lt;br /&gt;because they were discovered during a United States funded construction site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the debate raged, &lt;a href="http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/"&gt;Puerto Rico&lt;/a&gt; ended it. The artifacts were buried again last week with the hope that someday specialists will study her and Puerto Rican children will visit and learn about the lives of the Taino Indians, who have been extinct for over 500 years,  that created the petroglyphs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/5873538.html</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/2008/07/us-and-puerto-rico-dispute-ancient.html' title='U.S. and Puerto Rico Dispute Ancient Artifacts Ownership'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5277020558442056683&amp;postID=1185997984012569812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/1185997984012569812'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/1185997984012569812'/><author><name>Info For You</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15579845829129737489</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277020558442056683.post-6930057416162714576</id><published>2008-06-28T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-29T20:40:06.841-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='puerto rico travel'/><title type='text'>Puerto Rico Fights Back From Loss of Tourism Dollars</title><content type='html'>Earlier this year, American Airlines very quietly canceled a full 20 percent of their flights to the Caribbean including Puerto Rico and on Monday, the Governor of Puerto Rico Anibal Acevedo-Villa urged for tourism dependent regional governments to join him in lobbying against the carriers that cut back on flights and to create a unified front, including marketing plans, collaborations with other carriers and also proposing offering new incentives to carriers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another proposal to keep Puerto Rico's crown as a popular tourist destination is by cutting the landing fees to the carriers.  Currently carriers such as JetBlue,. Spirit, Continental and Delta have all expressed great interest in taking advantage of these perks to bring flights to Puerto Rico, however this will fill less than half the void left by American Airlines lack of service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puerto Rico has allotted 4 million dollars to boost its travel and tourism industry as well as boost its appeal to the various cruise lines. What does this mean to you - the consumer? This means that Puerto Rico may be one of the most elegant and affordable vacations around in the coming months. With the drain on tourism, hotels will book rooms at better rates and all-inclusive resorts may be running specials as well.

Of course, there is the requisite blazing sun, beautiful beaches and fruit drinks with umbrellas in them, but there is more there than meets the eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan, is a mix of several different influences and cultures. What type of activities you can do is completely up to you and what type of holiday you are looking for&lt;a href="http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/"&gt; when you're making your travel plans to Puerto Rico.&lt;/a&gt; If you are looking for luxury and a little pampering there are several nice hotels and many gorgeous spa resorts as well if that is something that may interest you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or if you are looking for a little more excitement there is more nightlife than you can enjoy in a week. No matter what your tastes, you will find it there. When the shops close a whole new San Juan opens up with unbridled energy as well. There are casinos and bars, or if you like the idea of nightlife, but don't really care for quite so much activity there are many restaurants on the beach that are open late and you can have your drinks outside on the patio that looks out over the gorgeous moonlit water. Perfect for that quiet special night that you are just not quite ready to let go of yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puerto Rico is rich with history and you can take advantage of the many sightseeing tours available or strike out on your own to discover this island paradise.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/2008/06/visit-island-of-puerto-rico.html' title='Visit the Island of Puerto Rico'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5277020558442056683&amp;postID=4456071585248692639' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/4456071585248692639'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/4456071585248692639'/><author><name>Info For You</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15579845829129737489</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277020558442056683.post-7790891662974879758</id><published>2008-06-14T16:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T17:01:40.210-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='puerto rico travel'/><title type='text'>Romantic Rincon - Affordable and Exotic Honeymoon Destination</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/3amgallery/Rincon_Aerial_v1_0902-764738.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/3amgallery/Rincon_Aerial_v1_0902-764738.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're looking for a beautiful destination for your honeymoon or romantic vacation with your honey, consider the well-kept secret of Rincon in Puerto Rico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people think "Puerto Rico" and the spicy night life of San Juan springs to mind - however Puerto Rico is much more than that.

Get your feet (and the rest of you too!) in the beautiful diving opps that Puerto Rico has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fajardo is the gateway to the enchanted island and there is an extensive Cordillera Reef System named the Parallels of Vieques to explore. The brightly colored fishes and this area of the reef is teaming with life. If you don't already have an underwater camera - either bring one or rent one for this dive - you'll want to remember it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humacao is located in the eastern part of Puerto Rica and boasts 35 dive sites within a 5-mile radius of the shore. If you're new to diving or you're diving with an inexperienced group - this is an ideal way to explore the coast, see the underwater life and yet not push the limits of new divers. The deepest part of this area is 55-feet, deeper than most beginning sports divers will want to go but more experienced divers will throughly enjoy what this area offers. Additionally, if you dive this area in the spring season, dolphins are frequent visitors and if you've never had the chance to swim with these beautiful, intelligent creatures - make a note to dive this area in the spring and you won't be disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guanica is the final jewel in the diving crown of Puerto Rico.  And this is one intense dive. Located just off the southwest coast at the Copamarina Beach Resort, one mile offshore; there is an amazing drop off where the marine shelf creates a wall of life that is 22 miles long.  This is a truly world class diving experience and one that you better take photos of to show your friends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you prefer to visit UNDER your destination instead of sightseeing on the surface - underwater Puerto Rico is waiting to show you a fabulous time!</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/2008/04/3-fun-destinations-beneath-puerto-rico.html' title='3 Fun Destinations BENEATH Puerto Rico'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5277020558442056683&amp;postID=8858824967014843433' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.puertoricobirthcertificate.com/puertoricotravel/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/8858824967014843433'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5277020558442056683/posts/default/8858824967014843433'/><author><name>Info For You</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15579845829129737489</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277020558442056683.post-4153536881904112830</id><published>2008-04-02T13:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-02T13:45:14.255-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='puerto rico travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sightseeing'/><title type='text'>Bird Watching in Puerto Rico!</title><content type='html'>Love to bird watch?
