      Surf Aviones

      5.0
      This is a reef break in San Juan Puerto Rico. This is probably the most consistent wave on the entire island of Puerto Rico!  It's a very popular summer time spot for surf, as waves become unmanageable when the large NW swells come through. This wave offers both lefts and rights.  I would recomme...

At the beach You are able to snorke...

      *Puerto Rico’s history is very interesting.  Exploring Old San Juan is fun, informative, and full of culture.   *There are unlimited options for food in Old San Juan, I recommend trying Mofongo, which is made from a plantain. Find a rooftop bar to take it all in (and maybe have a mojito or two!)....
