Get to know Rio Grande

Río Grande is located at the confluence of two rivers, the eponymous Río Grande and the Río Espíritu Santo. It’s also home to El Yunque, a 28,000-acre tropical rainforest that includes multiple waterfalls, ancient petroglyphs of Taíno deities, and an astounding diversity of flora and fauna. Only an hour drive from San Juan, Rio Grande is a popular spot for vacation homes. Fittingly, the area boasts several destination resort hotels, including the St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort, Wyndham Grand Rio Mar, and the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve. Residences ranging from small condos to large villas are available for sale at the three resorts, all of which come with resort amenities, including golf course and pool access. The area also has properties available outside of the resorts. Rio Grande has a well-known dining scene, with roadside barbeque, fusion sushi, and fresh seafood among its specialties.

Living in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is officially a territory of the United States and just a two-and-a-half-hour plane ride from Miami, but it feels like a world away. Though Puerto Rico is often referred to as an island, it’s technically a string of islands in the Caribbean Sea. In addition to the main island, the commonwealth also includes many smaller islands, with the two of the more well-known being Vieques and Culebra, both famous for their unspoiled, secluded beaches. Most of the population and economic activity is centered in the capital of San Juan and the surrounding towns. Puerto Rico is a mix of stunning natural landscapes and dense, metropolitan life, often just minutes away from each other. The country has the United States’ only tropical rainforest, dramatic mountains, and of course, beautiful beaches. Since Puerto Rico is an American territory, no passports or currency exchange is necessary for mainlanders moving to the island.
