Solo travel experience
Old San Juan is amazing. An absolute must-see. I stayed in Condado and went to some amazing waterfalls and beaches. There’s an amazing lighthouse, Arecibo, and a beautiful waterfall in Gozalandia. Crashboat Beach is fabulous. I loved the vibe, people, culture, and food.

I solo traveled to Puerto Rico for a month. I lived in old San Juan. I always felt safe. I walked/scootered/ubered alone and was always totally fine. The men were surprisingly respectful.
Posted: July 30, 2023Solo travel experience
I spent two weeks in Puerto Rico. I stayed ten days in San Juan on Calle Loiza, a five-minute walk from Playa Ocean Park, and four in Rincon. I felt very safe in both places at all times, including after dark. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more of my time on the west side of the island, as I felt there are better beaches and I don’t really do nightlife. That being said, San Juan does have great food, history, architecture, and beaches as well. I also kayaked Condado Lagoon at night which was a blast.
