Cheap Puerto Rico travel

I can hook you up with connections to the Dominican Republic.... cheap travel

 

stay at jobos.
lock your doors.

 

my wife and I stayed in a pretty nice 2 bedroom apt in aguadilla for $65 a night......we found it on vrbo.com.....five minute drive to closest surf so I am sure if you want to be a little closer to the ocean you will pay more but your gonna be driving to find surf anyways.......Overall I found my trip relatively inexpensive.....rented a toyoto corrola for like $20 a day........definitely check out vrbo.com......good luck

 

The closer you get to Marias beach in Rincon, the pricier it gets. There are places to rent in the Isabela area relatively cheap (compared to Rincon area), but some there can be pricey as well. But, with 8 going, 4 to a studio apt can be cheap. Some of those Isabela apts are facing the ocean; you would be a 40 minute drive to Rincon from there, 10- 15 minutes to Middles, 20 minutes to Wilderness (surf spots). Isabela faces the North, Rincon faces west.
Having said that, due to your numbers, getting a cheat apt in the rincon area may be possible as well.

Good luck.

 

1. Rent boards down there. Mar Azul or Green Room in Rincon.
2. Fly Jet Blue into Aquadilla, don't fly into San Juan. The rental car fees in San Juan will kill your budget.
3. Rent a van, not two cars.
4. Stay in a sh1thole. You are college students so household be used to that.
5. Get local advice. Know what winds work at what breaks from Isabella to Rincon.

 

Maybe we kan work out a deal ...I got a couple of nights down in a hotel there I cannot use. Let me know.

 

A few of us have been to and surfed in PR before but we need some budget travel advice. (PS I looked in the other threads on PR and found a lot of good info, thanks) Also any other advice on general Puerto Rico travel would be appreciated .

if you're sleeping in the woods beware fire ants.

 

THIS!!! Those things will wreck you!! Beware the grass... ants be there.

 

Skip Puerto Rico and just come up to North Philadelphia. Then surf Ocean City, NJ. You'll get the best of both worlds.

Vice President, huh? Congratulations.

Hey, why didn't you go to UNC-Wilmington? What, EROCK scare you away?

Erock where are you? I hope he didn't get killed while fishing.

 

Puerto Rico (English /ˌpɔrtə ˈriːkoʊ/ or /ˌpwɛərtə ˈriːkoʊ/;[a] Spanish: [ˈpweɾto ˈriko]), officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, pronounced: [esˈtaðo ˈliβɾe asoˈsjaðo ðe ˈpweɾto ˈriko], literally the Free Associated State of Puerto Rico), is a United States territory located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic, and west of both the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands.

Puerto Rico is an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is, by land area, the smallest of the Greater Antilles. With around 3.5 million people, it ranks third in population among that group of four islands, which include Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Jamaica. The capital and largest city is San Juan. Due to its location, Puerto Rico has a tropical climate with warm weather year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Its official languages are Spanish, which is prevalent, and English.

Originally populated for centuries by aboriginal people known as Taíno, the island was claimed by Christopher Columbus for Spain during his second voyage to the Americas on November 19, 1493. Like Cuba, Puerto Rico remained a Spanish colony until 1898. Despite the Laws of Burgos of 1512 and other decrees for the protection of Indians, some Taíno people were forced into slavery in the early years of colonization. The population suffered extremely high fatalities from epidemics of European infectious diseases.[c][d][e][f]

During the four centuries of Spanish rule, the island's culture and physical landscape were transformed. European knowledge, customs and traditions were introduced, namely Roman Catholicism, the Spanish language, and advances such as agriculture, construction in stone, and the printing press. Numerous public buildings, forts, churches and public infrastructure built during Spanish rule are still standing to this day, forming an indelible part of the island's cultural heritage.

Regular convoys of the West Indies Fleet linked the island to Spain, sailing from Cádiz to the Spanish West Indies every year. From the start of Puerto Rico's colonization by Spain in 1508, its inhabitants were Spanish citizens, and it remained Spanish territory despite invasion attempts by the French, Dutch, and the British. On November 25, 1897, Spain granted limited self-government to the island by royal decree in the Autonomic Charter, including a bicameral legislature.[16] But in 1898, Spain ceded its control of the island to United States following the Spanish–American War, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris.

Today, people born in Puerto Rico are natural-born U.S. citizens.[17] The territory operates under a local constitution, and Puerto Ricans elect their own governor. However, Puerto Rico lacks voting members in Congress and is subject to the plenary jurisdiction of the United States under the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950. As of 2015, Puerto Rico remains a U.S. territory, although a 2012 referendum showed a majority (54% of the electorate) in favor of a change in status, with full statehood the preferred option

 

Modern Puerto Rican culture is a unique mix of cultural antecedents: including Taíno (Amerindians), Spanish, African, European and, more recently, North American.

From the Spanish, Puerto Rico received the Spanish language, the Catholic religion and the vast majority of their cultural and moral values and traditions. The United States added English language influence, the university system and the adoption of some holidays and practices. On March 12, 1903, the University of Puerto Rico was officially founded, branching out from the "Escuela Normal Industrial", a smaller organism that was founded in Fajardo three years before.

Much of Puerto Rican culture centers on the influence of music and has been shaped by other cultures combining with local and traditional rhythms. Early in the history of Puerto Rican music, the influences of Spanish and African traditions were most noticeable. The cultural movements across the Caribbean and North America have played a vital role in the more recent musical influences that have reached Puerto Rico.[248][249]

The official symbols of Puerto Rico are the Reinita mora or Puerto Rican Spindalis (a type of bird), the Flor de Maga (a type of flower), and the Ceiba or Kapok (a type of tree). The unofficial animal and a symbol of Puerto Rican pride is the Coquí, a small frog. Other popular symbols of Puerto Rico are the jíbaro (the "countryman"), and the carite.

 

SS, you're missing the part where many Ricans emigrated across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans to start new lives in the metropolises of the North East, where they found solace incorporating open commerce zones on the city streets.

How come Baltimore and DC have such small Puerto Rican communities?

 

Perhaps because one has to work there to earn a living. One cannot just hang around chewing on Bazooka gum.

 

On it Riles.

O barry

 

In Baltimore??

You don't know much aboot Baltimore, huh?

And no one works in SE DC
