Día del Recuerdo

📣 Notas para viajeros

Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island offering diverse experiences, including world-class beaches, surfing, and opportunities for diving, snorkeling, and viewing bioluminescent bays. The island's culture is a blend of Spanish-American history, offering rich heritage and cuisine.

• The island is generally tolerant of LGBTQ visitors.
• Areas like San Juan (Condado, Santurce, Hato Rey) are considered openly welcoming to the LGBTQ community.
• Public areas are common social gathering spots for neighbors.
• A polite demeanor and smile are appreciated.
• When greeting women, close physical proximity and cheek kisses are customary. While the population is generally social, visitors should avoid political discussions regarding Puerto Rico's status with the U.S. Showing respect to the elderly is valued; using 'Bendicíon' when leaving an older person is appreciated. Be mindful that personal space norms may differ from the U.S. mainland.
