    I live in PR and I love to see the videos posted by tourists on UA-cam who visit our island. I have to commend you that this is one of the best that I have seen. Your comments on the traffic, food and places that you visited were just spot on. Your views with the drone were just spectacular. 👍
    Thanks for visiting our island. Blessings from PR.

    FYI Barbeque was brought back to Europe by the Spanish who saw the indigenous Taino people cooking “Barbacoa”. The word barbeque originated in PR. So yes, there are lots of barbeque places.

    We visited Puerto Rico also, and found it amazing; we had visited big cities: San Juan, Caguas, Bayamon, Ponce and Mayaguez. Also went to El Yunque Tropical rain forest-this forest gets 400 billions of gallons of rain fall each year. It was a great vacation, unforgettable for us as well. Thanks for you video.

  • @travelonhigh
    @travelonhigh  Рік тому +12

    As I can't edit the video here are some corrections/background for the video:
    There is a huge contravercy over the Taco vs Empanadilla part of the food section. They are called both ways depending on who you ask or where you buy them. The specific spot where I bought them they were labeled and called tacos but they can be called differently by others. I left that out of my video as we just learned this.
    Also, there is a lot of contravercy over where the Pina colada was created as well but I won't get into that one...
    Also regarding rainforests "El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System" so I misspoke in the video calling it the only rainforest in the US. There are other rainforests but this is the only tropical one in the US Natl Forest System.

      Caribbean cuisine is different from mexican cuisine. And, depending on the island you are, you can have a myriad of different dishes than in themselves, are unique to each island. PR and Cuban cuisine are very similar. Also with Dominican cuisine. What you ate, regardless of how they called in that estanco, is not a taco, is an empanadilla. I love Luquillo Beach. Thank you for showing us that beautiful PR beaches.

Caracole/shore.) Also must visit Buyé Beach in Cabo Rojo on the west part of the Island. Additionaly I highly recommend Playa Tortuga in Culebrita (small island Northeast of Culebra). Must take a water taxi from Culebra to get there. Playa Tortuga (Turtle Beach was among the top three beaches I'm not sure if on Trip Advisor) but in my opinión is the best besch in Puerto Rico. Must take a cooler with water and drinks becausr the island is deserted! Good luck!

      We just stayed at an AirBnB in Trujillo Alto. But a resort would be nice as well. San Juan area is pretty good as it's central to basically everywhere on the island. Most of the places to check out are spread evenly on each side so driving from San Juan area isn't too bad.

      It’s not salty at all. If compared to most US bbq, it is a very different experience that US folk will not be prepared for. In PR spicy food does not mean hot. For us it means flavorful. Guavate’s leachon is very flavorful. ❤lechon!

    You forgot to see the rum distillery, the paso fino horses which are puertorrican and the phosphorescent bays. There’s only a few in the world and two are in PR. Also, you didn’t taste the fine dining food. The cod fish and rice dish, the puertorrican lasagna , the arroz con gandules with pasteles and the best pork in the world which is in PR suckling pig on the barbecue stick, it’s considered the best in the world. There’s also throughout the island the sound of the coqui everywhere you go from the moment you step outside the airport in the evening you hear this sound made by this tiny frog which is hard to see.

    FYI barbecue was introduced to the world by the Spanish who observed our indigenous people, the Taínos, preparing their food. and called it Barbacoa, now called bar be cue. So yes, PR has a lot of Q places since it originated here🤷🏻‍♀️Also our tacos are not Mexican tacos…it’s just called a taco because it’s rolled.

      Biggest thing is getting protection from the sun. Like while in the beach we had a beach tent and a portable fan. Also having a harness is a life saver to be able to walk around like a hike or walking around San Juan.
      At that age it's easier to just pack them up and carry them along and just feed bottles as needed. Really the only thing you need to worry about is the sun and keeping cool by going inside every now and then, or using a fan.
