We hitchhiked into Rincón and it was completely safe and went well! We hitchhiked out as well. Everyone is so nice. A few locals kept telling us that Rincón is one of the safest areas in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory situated in the Caribbean Sea to the southeast of Florida, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. The island boasts breathtaking beaches, such as the shimmering sands of Flamenco Beach, and lush tropical rainforests like El Yunque National Forest that brim with diverse flora and fauna. This enchanting destination is known for its charming Old San Juan district, replete with cobblestone streets, colorful Spanish colonial buildings, and the historic El Morro and San Cristóbal fortresses. Puerto Rico also takes pride in its jubilant festivals, delicious cuisine including the famous dish Mofongo, and the popular local rum. Whether it's adventure, relaxation, or cultural exploration you seek, Puerto Rico offers an unforgettable travel experience.

Rincón, a charming city located on the western coast of Puerto Rico, is famous for its glorious beaches and world-class surfing conditions. This tranquil tropical paradise boasts sweeping ocean vistas, seemingly endless sunshine, and a relaxed laid-back atmosphere. Rincón is internationally known for hosting the World Surfing Championship, and annually lures surfers from around the globe eager to catch its legendary waves. Beyond the allure of the beaches, guests can explore the iconic Punta Higüera Light House, indulge in dazzling sunset views from the El Faro park, or participate in snorkeling and diving excursions to discover the alluring aquatic life. Whales can be spotted offshore between January and March, making it an even more enchanting destination for nature enthusiasts. From adventure to relaxation, Rincón offers an inviting blend of experiences, cultural richness and nature’s beauty.

Spent the day in Rincón with my new friend! We got Mexican food at Vatos Locos Taqueria (delicious and affordable) and acaí bowls and the beach was beautiful and the water was warm! Highly recommend Rincón, hoping to visit again tomorrow :)
