Five Interesting Places in Puerto Rico

There are many interesting and wonderful places in Puerto Rico, but many visitors easily miss some beautiful scenery because of too much information. Here is a list of the five most interesting places in Puerto Rico.
1. El morro Fortress
El morro fortress --- an ancient tower, is the most remarkable landmark in the San Juan. It has more than 400 years of history in terms of protecting this city and shipping routes. Though it has gone through many wars and fights, it still faces the Atlantic ocean. Once you move one step forward and go into a cubicle which looks like a beacon tower, you can experience the life of those soldiers in colonial times as well as how the American army consolidated it during the period of WWI.
2. Bioluminescent Bay
A moonless night is a good choice for you if you want to pay a visit to this bay. You will find out why there are many people feel surprised if you take a canoe to cross the red forest and reach the Mosquito Bay. Here you can find that the little paddles you take will turn onto green in the water with beautiful fishes swimming around you. If you go diving in the water, it is possible for you to see your shinny body in the dark night. In this way, you will not find it hard to understand why Bioluminescent Bay is the most wonderful place in Puerto Rico. It is the special geographical environment, climate condition and the local protecting measures that make it become the most famous one of the most famous Bioluminescent Bays in the world.
3. El Yunque Rainforest
El Yunque Rainforest is the only one rainforestation in the American National Forest System. It takes only two hours by car from San Juan to the rainforest. This rich and abundant mountain area is far away from the beaches in the city and other places of interest. But that is why people come here. Here, you can cross those luxuriant plant complex in the rainforest; walk to those difficult mountains; go diving under the falls. This is the unchanged part in Puerto Rico throughout the whole history.
4. Culebra Island
There is controversy about Culebra island among people. In this small island which locates in the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, the most attractive place, I think, should be the widely-accepted peerless Flamenco island. Here, you can experience the most natural beauty because all the sceneries in this island is purely natural except the lighthouse and the beach.
5. Canvey Caves
There are two distinctive advantages of Canvey caves when compared with other places. The first one is that you can pay a visit to the famous Arecibo radio telescope. Also, you can start a journey of adventure here because this cave system is the third largest in the world. You can walk through the underground valley and reach the depth of about 600 miles.
