As we have emerged from the pandemic, exposure to new cultural experiences and local people is a top driver for those choosing locations to explore. Much like its people and culture, Puerto Rico is inherently diverse, stemming from its unique blend of African, Spanish and Taino heritage and prime Caribbean location.

The Island boasts attractions for every type of traveler and meeting attendee: the one who wants to give back, the one seeking to explore or simply hoping to enjoy the sound of crashing waves or the magical rainforest. The Island has many exciting opportunities to immerse returning visitors in something unique and memorable that sparks bonding. Our latest campaign Live Boricua spotlights the elements that honor the unique attributes and heritage of Puerto Rico by inviting travelers to experience the destination authentically. Boricua is a word used to describe a person from Puerto Rico by birth or descent, but it’s so much more; it’s a way of life; the essence of the campaign is an invitation to “come alive with the experience in Puerto Rico.”  

At Discover Puerto Rico, our team of in-the-know locals are readily available to offer group incentive travel planners insider information on off-the-beaten paths experiences that will allow the group to discover a whole new side to Puerto Rico.

For a group of thrill-seekers, offer them the opportunity to do tandem jumping at Skydive Puerto Rico or Xtreme Divers, both in Arecibo. This style of skydiving is ideal for beginners since it uses a tandem harness with a certified instructor. Your guests will be able to fly through the air over the Island in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Another way to take flight is parasailing in Isla Verde, near San Juan, with Watersport4U. They also offer flyboarding and banana boat rides for those who would rather stay closer to the ground (or, in this case, the ocean).

Does your group love to eat, drink, and party like locals? Then send them into the mountains for a day of chinchorreo. This popular weekend activity involves restaurant and bar hopping along a predetermined route.

The food can range from delicious fried fritters like alcapurrias and empanadillas to more upscale dining and sit-down restaurants with impressive views.

The most famous route is La Ruta del Lechon in the Guavate neighborhood of Cayey, which features some of the best roast pork on the Island. Other popular routes include Piñones along the coast of Loíza and the Longaniza Trail in Orocovis (near Toro Verde Adventure Park).
