WHAT TO EXPECT

Our small group trip to Puerto Rico caters to travelers in their 20s and 30s looking for cobblestone magic in Old San Juan, rainforest thrills in El Yunque, and sun kissed Caribbean paradise as far as the eye can see.

Meet up with a crew of new friends to explore Puerto Rico's capital as you find a rare American escape from the ordinary.

Then, you'll meet up with the Caribbean sun on pristine beaches, explore the lush, untouched beauty of El Yunque National Forest, and dance the night away in the colorful streets. And let’s not forget the mouth-watering local cuisine - mofongo, anyone?

    Day 1 -  San Juan Welcome to San Juan

Congrats, you've made it to one of the natural wonders of the United States! Drop your bags, and get ready to dive into San Juan.

After a welcome rendezvous with the group, we'll kick things off with a welcome drink. Get to know your new travel mates over fruity cocktails or try a local rum; with a massive sugarcane crop, the island’s home to more than a few distilleries (hello, Bacardi!).

Now that we’ve said hello the right way, it’s time to get to know the fusion flavors of the island's cuisine at one of our favorite San Juan restaurants. With a menu that focuses on local dishes dating back to the 1800s, it is a historic, tasty welcome to Puerto Rico. Salud!

    Day 2  -  San Juan Cuisine and Culture

Today, we'll continue to discover Puerto Rican culture through its history, people, and food on a walking tour of Old San Juan. In a city filled with historical sites, it's only fitting that you step back in time for a few hours and discover the island's blend of Spanish, African, and Taíno influences.

Savor some of the region's exceptional food like pan de agua and quesitos . Try street food favorites like alcapurrias and bacalaítos from vendors with generations of culinary expertise. Quench your thirst with a refreshing piragua , then discover the stories and traditions that shaped the island's culinary landscape.

That night, we'll be hitting up a salsa class in oceanfront Condado to check out the pulsating Afro-Caribbean beats and learn some Puerto Rican moves of our own. After dancing the night away, grab a late night bite to eat with the crew.

    Day 3 -  El Yunque National Forest Rainfo rest Adventuring

Today we're exploring Puerto Rico's tropical El Yunque National Forest. Picture towering ancient trees, a chorus of coqui frogs, and the mist of hidden waterfalls. Our local guides will lead the way, sharing all the inside info you need on El Yunque's unique flora and fauna as you traverse rugged terrain.

We'll head to the rainforest's secluded natural pools, where you can cliff jump, float in tranquility, and marvel at paradise. We'll no doubt work up an appetite, so after the rainforest, it'll be time to head over to Luquillo Kiosks' 60 family-run stalls to connect with the local community as you feast on tostones, pinchos, and delicious seafood along a laid-back beachfront.

The afternoon and evening are yours; siesta in hammocks or head toward local artisan shops for more Puerto Rican charm.

    Day 4 - San Juan Sun and Se a

The next 24 hours are yours for exploring in the picturesque Old San Juan area. Head to San Juan Bay and check out the beautiful beaches, grab a recliner at Condado Beach, or see how the high class live over in Isla Verde. For more adventure, check out the water sports and rent a jet ski for an hour or two.

If you're after a more local vibe, Old San Juan's narrow streets are lined with historic buildings. Hunt for souvenirs, savor the island's famous tropical ice cream, or immerse yourself in the rich culture and history. If you're up for it, head to the Santurce neighborhood to check out the city's acclaimed art scene. 

That evening, meet up with the crew at our farewell dinner. Here's to unforgettable adventures, laughter, and living life on the wild side, in true Puerto Rican style!

    Day 5 - San Juan Until Next Time!

Rise and shine, it's time to sip on that last cup of rich Puerto Rican coffee and reminisce about the epic rainforest hikes, the soul-stirring rhythms of local music, and the mouthwatering flavors of street food.

So here's to the memories, the friendships, one beautiful island, and to countless adventures that lie ahead. Until the next time, hasta la vista, adventurers!

If you're wanting to expend your time, consider checking out Cabo Rojo on Puerto Rico's west coast, heading east to Luquillo Beach, cruising to spectacular Flamenco Beach (skip the beach resort and explore on your own), or joining one of the many tours to check out the world's brightest bioluminescent bay in Vieques.

“Nothing is better for your soul than to visit Puerto Rico.”   -Lin-Manuel Miranda

Just for fun

Puerto Rico is home to Bacardi's rum factory. Also known as the cathedral of rum, it's the world's largest.

Puerto Rico's Catedral de San Juan Bautista was first constructed in 1521 and is the oldest in the US.

Puerto Rico is the birthplace of the Piña Colada (we see a trend).

While we can’t guarantee private rooms, you sho uld book your trip earlier if you prefer one, as they usually fill up.

For the rainforest day, there will be a moderate hike that some may find difficult due to the rocky and muddy terrain. Hiking shoes are strongly recommended.

Let me tell you a little bit of who I am, and what we've become!

I am an island girl, with a country heart and a gipsy soul. Good introduction right?! Well that's the short version. The long version is that I've lived on the island all my life and I finally found a job I am passionate for. I started in the tourism industry as a Chef. My life goal was to own a restaurant. With time I started recognizing other areas of the industry that I knew I would be good at. Went through Front Desk, Concierges and Tour Desk.  I recognized how the fun was on the other end of the desk. And well, nine years later I still have a dream. A much different one that is. I want to be the mostess of the hostess while you're in MY island. I want to show you a different side of Puerto Rico, the best one, the local side. 

I value your business and trust. Thanks to all the customers support, I have now grown to be a staff of 5 and a fleet of 4! A day out with any of us, certified tour guides will make you feel like a local by the time we're done. Take a detour from the ordinary, and experience Puerto Rico like a local!

DE TOUR CON ALI is your "one stop shop" for tours, transportation and meeting planner services. Specializing in  "off the beaten path", customized and cultural enriched experiences.   

Take a detour from the ordinary tours and experience puerto rico like a local​ .

EXCELLENT Rainforest for families! Visting El Yunque is an excellent tour for families. There is a short, very manageable hike through the rainforest, which my three year old was able to easily complete. Please bring sturdy water shoes because there are rocks in the water (not crocs, which are supposed to be slippery from the reviews I've read). My children (age 3,7 and 11) all loved the visit to El Yunque and we would highly recommend it to other families. The De tour Con Ali employees were excellent. There were employees carefully stationed along the terminal to ensure everyone found the tour, and our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and willing to customize the tour to our children's needs.

DECEMBER 2022

Puerto Rico Group Tours for Solo Travellers

Travel solo as part of a group tour to Puerto Rico

Why Travel Solo To Puerto Rico?

A US territory with a tropical twist, Puerto Rico beckons with neon bays, sprawling Spanish forts and an energy that pulses throughout the entire island.

Stroll through 500 years of history In the capital, San Juan, where sleek skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls are juxtaposed with narrow cobblestone streets and elegant colonial buildings. Explore the only rainforest in the United States at El Yunque National Forest, and experience the breathtaking phenomenon of bioluminescence in magical Mosquito Bay. (Of the five bio bays in the world, Puerto Rico has three of them.)

Throughout the island, you’ll find sizzling cuisine infused with Spanish, African and indigenous Taino flavours, vibrant nightlife pulsing to the beats of salsa and bomba, and genuinely friendly locals who will welcome you to share their Boricua culture. Add to that sunkissed Caribbean beaches, clear turquoise water and fresh piña coladas and you’ve got yourself the perfect tropical escape – with a difference.

Top places to visit in Puerto Rico

Old san juan.

Unesco-listed for its twisting cobblestone streets, grand pastel colonial architecture & Spanish military forts dating to the 16th and 17th centuries, Old San Juan is like travelling back in time. Be sure to stop by the imposing El Morro citadel, the neoclassical San Juan Cathedral and the grand Fortaleza palace.

Mosquito Bay

Of Puerto Rico’s three bioluminescent bays, Mosquito Bay on Vieques Island is considered the brightest, thanks to its shallow depth, high temperature, low circulation and high nutrients. Kayaking, swimming or taking a boat trip across the glowing lagoon under a star-studded sky is nothing short of magical.

El Yunque National Forest

The only rainforest in the US National Forest System, El Yunque (named after the Taíno god, Yúcahu) boasts nearly 29,000 acres of lush mountainous terrain. The park is scattered with waterfalls, rivers, towering trees & bamboo groves, and crisscrossed with hiking trails opening up to spectacular ocean views.

Flamenco Beach

This mile-long horseshoe-shaped bay on Culebra Island regularly appears on ‘world’s best beaches’ lists. The arc of pristine white sand, backed by low scrub and trees, is named for the nearby lagoon, which attracts flamingos in winter. The crystalline turquoise water is ideal for swimming and snorkelling.

Meet Your Guide

Tristan Lebron

Tour Guide / Guía Turístico

​ Buenas! Bienvenidos a Tranki Tours, my name is Tristan. 

I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there is little to no Boricua nor Caribbean culture. While it’s a culturally rich region in the United States, something was still missing. I remained intrigued and curious about my family’s roots in Puerto Rico. After beginning my travels around the world, I decided it was time to seek the same fulfillment from Isla del Encanto.

Since relocating in 2020, my life has blossomed into everything I never imagined it could be. I increasingly appreciate our island, people, and culture with each passing day, and I aim to spark that feeling within you during our time together. I love being outdoors and connecting with people. And the fact that I can do both in my favorite place on earth is a blessing for me. Puerto Rico is full of enchantment, and it’s an honor to make our tours the highlight of your trip!

"My boyfriend and I loved every second of our tour. Although it was mainly an in car experience due to covid restrictions but we had a BLAST. Narayan, our tour guide, was so informative and knowledgeable on the history of San Juan. Please ask for him if you go on a tour!!! He’s literally the best and has a great personality as well. He takes AWESOME pics of you too. He made our vacation so much more memorable. 10/10 recommend :)"

"My favorite part of the experience was the personality, professionalism, and great tour guides Narayan & Lismar. They made sure we were educated about the history of the island, they had a great amount of knowledge, and were so kind. They made sure we were safe at all times (even when some of group was a little daring) I look forward to booking with them in the future."

"We loved the tour. Both guides were very knowledgeable about Puerto Rico. They showed us a lot of the different cities and different beautiful beaches. They made us feel like we’ve known them for years. They are family oriented, easy to talk to and very down to earth. Excellent tour!!! Thanks so much Lismar and Narayan."

"Narayan De Jesus took us on a wonderful tour of the rain forest, very informative guide. The hike up the hill/mountain looks a little daunting when you first get out of the van but with the winding path it is not that difficult. Took walking stick, did not realy need it. Was glad we took our binoculars, at the top we were able to see seven differnt islands, St Johns was one of them."

Do I need a Travel Medical insurance?

Yes, Travel insurance is required for all international trips. Insurance covers (and reimburses you) for things like trip cancellation, trip interruption, and trip delay, lost or delayed baggage, medical coverage, medical evacuation, etc.

Truly one of the best trips I’ve ever had. It was my first time ever doing a solo trip. Himanshu gave us an itinerary and a list of good traveling tips for Egypt months in advance. He is very organized and responsive so I never had any concerns. Everything was already taken care of. All I had to do was show up. The scenes in Egypt were breathtaking and I saw places that I never thought I’d see.

Had a great time in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Land in Salt Lake City & the rest of the trip is taken care by BLGT.. you have absolutely nothing to worry about.. logistics, campsite booking, tickets, planning is all done by them. We had a great guide with us through out the trip. Would definitely be going with BLGT in future.

The trip was to the Galapagos and it was wonderful Quito was also a beautiful City.

This was a trip of a lifetime, been wanting to do this for a long time. All planning done right and price was great can’t wait for my next trip, unfortunately I can only do one a year

Had a great experience through BLGT recently in Alaska; appreciated the trip leaders’ ability to handle logistics so you could focus on the experience and having fun. It was just like traveling with a group of friends, with the added bonus of the itinerary being all taken care of.

Escorted & Package Tours in Puerto Rico

Before you start your search for the lowest airfare, you might want to consider booking your flight as part of a travel package such as an escorted tour or a package tour. What you lose in adventure, you'll gain in time and money saved when you book accommodations, and maybe even food and entertainment, along with your flight.

One good source of package deals is the airlines themselves. Also consult Vacation Together (tel. 877/444-4547; www.vacationtogether.com), which allows you to search for and book packages offered by a number of tour operators and airlines. The United States Tour Operators Association 's website (www.ustoa.com) has a search engine that allows you to look for operators that offer packages to a specific destination.

Travel packages are also listed on major Internet travel sites and in the travel section of the local Sunday newspaper. Liberty Travel (tel. 888/271-1584; www.libertytravel.com), one of the biggest packagers in the Northeast, is a bigger advertiser in print and other media, but it's website typically has at least a half dozen deals to the island at any given time.

TourScan Caribbean Vacations (tel. 800/962-2080; www.tourscan.com) finds the best deals from the 10,000 vacation offers its Caribbean travel experts analyze. You can see some results online.

Food & Wine Trips

There is no organized culinary trip per se, but you could choose to visit during one of the annual food festivals such as Old San Juan SoFo Culinary Fest (in June; visit www.tastecuisine.net), when restaurants on and near South Fortaleza Street open up their doors for sampling; or Saborea (in early April; visit www.saboreapuertorico.com), a culinary party of restaurant booths and Food Network chef demos set up along Escambrón Beach.

Also see the Flavors of San Juan noshing tour in Old San Juan (tel. 787/964-2447 ; www.flavorsofsanjuan.com).

Escorted General-Interest Tours

An escorted tour is a structured group tour with a group leader. The price usually includes everything from airfare to hotel, meals, tours, admission costs, and local transportation.

Puerto Rico Tours, Condo Inter-Suite, Ste. 5M, on Isla Verde in San Juan (tel. 787/306-1540 or 787/791-5479; www.puertoricotours.com), offers specially conducted private sightseeing tours of Puerto Rico, including trips to the rainforest, Luquillo Beach, the caves of Camuy, and other attractions, such as a restored Taíno Indian village.

Backstage Partners (tel. 787/791-0099; www.backstagepartners.com) offers customized tours that take in a wide range of island attractions, including eco-tours, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling, safaris, and golf packages.

Other leading escorted tour operators include Atlantic San Juan Tours (tel. 787/644-9841; www.puertoricoexcursions.com), which helps you take in all the major sights of the island from Ponce to El Yunque; and Sunshine Tours (tel. 866/785-3636; www.puerto-rico-sunshinetours.com), which covers much the same ground as the others. Legends of Puerto Rico (tel. 787/605-9060; www.legendsofpr.com) hosts personalized tours, specializing in entertaining cultural and nature adventure tours.

Rainforest & Beach Combo

Combine a trip to El Yunque with some beach time at Luquillo with this tour. You'll start in El Yunque, where you'll take a walk out through the forest and get the chance to swim in crystalline rivers. You'll then continue to Luquillo, where you can slide down a natural waterslide at Las Paylas and spend time at the local beach before returning to your destination.

Ages Four and Up

InfoRMATION

Venture out to El Yunque Rainforest and a more tranquil side of Puerto Rico. Indulge yourself in authentic experiences that prove Puerto Rico is the enchanted island!

When entering El Yunque, we will take a scenic drive through the National Park. Climbing in elevation, enjoy views of the peak above and ocean below! En route to a private access point on Rio Pitahaya, we will pass Rio Mameyes, Puente Roto, and the Angelito Trail Head.

Upon arrival at Las Paylas you will be introduced to a natural playground with something for everyone! With a hidden waterfall, cave, 2 waterslides, and natural pool, there is no more refreshing or exhilarating way to enjoy an afternoon! If adventure is not your style, worry not! No guest has to partake in any activity they are not comfortable with.

After El Yunque, wind down at Luquillo Beach and Los Kioskos. Soak in the culture and essence of Puerto Rico with amazing food, drinks, and music. A famous local hangout at the ocean, 50 feet off the shore is Los Kioskos, a strip of around 50 bars, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Guests will have 2 hours there to grab a drink, bite to eat, do some souvenir shopping, or relax on the beach. We normally leave the kiosks around 4 pm and are back to the San Juan area around 5 pm.

• The nature walk is a moderate, 10–15-minute walk through the natural terrain of El Yunque. When there is rain in the rainforest, the trail can become muddy, and the walk will be more challenging. We recommend travelers wear a bathing suit under comfortable clothes, a pair of shoes you don't mind getting wet or muddy, and a towel to dry off.
• Guest will be able to leave belongings on the bus. The tour provider will not be held responsible for items or belongings lost or damaged during this adventure.
• El Yunque National Forest is monitored by the Puerto Rican Government. If conditions become hazardous and a portion of El Yunque is closed, to preserve the safety of our guests we will extend the time at Luquillo Beach and Los Kioskos.
• This adventure does not enter the ticketed section of El Yunque National Forest. Guests will not be required to purchase additional tickets!
• This adventure does not make the 2-hour hike to the peak or towers as that trail may not be suitable for all of our guests.
• The minimum age to attend this tour is 4 years old. Guests who are not 4 years old or older will not be permitted to attend the tour and will forfeit any cost associated with their ticket.

EXPLORE OUR FIVE-STAR REVIEWS

We had a great time on the waterfall hike, cliff dive and rope swing tour. The entire experience was great. Be prepared for a good and muddy hike, a bit challenging in places over the rocks. Bring good water shoes or hiking shoes but they will get dirty and wet! We definitely recommend these guys.

We did the rain forest, horse back riding and the Culebra Island tours and they were amazing! The rain forest is for active people and there is some climbing involved to get to the good part. The horse back riding was pretty relaxing and beautiful. And the Island was absolutely breathtaking!

Best tour in San Juan! I’ve been going for 5 years now and I will NEVER let anyone take us on a tour unless it is with Carlos and his team! Good people, good experience, good times to come back to!

It was phenomenal. We had such a great time. We went to the forest and the tour guide was very helpful. I would highly recommend them. Plus we had good empanadas and good drinks. If you want fun and nice drinks while you explore the rainforest with nice people then go for this tour!

What travelers are saying

"I've been on 13 trips with STI and I've had a great time and met a lot of wonderful people on all of them. What I really like is the STI process for encouraging togetherness which includes (1) members meeting the day before the trip to have drinks and dinner so that when you start the trip the next day you feel comfortable with the other members, (2) a Breakfast Club for members who want to meet for breakfast, (3) Happy Hours each night before dinner, (4) eating together each night, (5) Theme nights for members , and (6) separate excursions for members. Another good feature of STI trips is the concierge who makes arrangements and schedules activities and helps to resolve any problems that occur."

Puerto Rico Tour Selection Trips

• Among the many appeals of Puerto Rico, which is a self-governing territory of the United States, is its combination of the feeling of a foreign culture with the familiarity of everyday life in the U.S.  As a result, first-time visitors are immersed in a society which is rich in unfamiliar customs and traditions yet at the same time is welcoming in terms of the ease of travel.
• There is no need to take a passport or pass through customs and immigration procedures when traveling to, or back from, Puerto Rico. Everything from the money to the electric current is the same as in the 50 states. People, who consider themselves to be fellow Americans, are friendly and helpful.   
• To truly experience local life, venture away from the large hotels, major tourist sites and restaurants frequented by visitors. In San Juan and Ponce, that means exploring off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods.
• Consider renting a car and checking out less-visited destinations around the island.  The roads are good and well marked, and if you need to ask directions, it’s usually possible to find someone who speaks enough English to help you find your way.
• Consider taking at least a day trip to either or both of two small islands just off the east coast that offer a relaxing respite. The beaches on Vieques are often listed among the best in the Caribbean for their white sand and azure water. Even tinier and more laid-back Culebra is best known for world-class diving and outstanding snorkeling.

Puerto Rico is best know for its abundance of places to unplug, unwind, and explore the unknown. The island is filled with secluded wonders, from beach coves and clear waters to tree swings with panoramic mountain views. It's also a place to eat, drink, and be merry. A half dozen brands of local rum collectively back Puerto Rico's claim to the title " Rum Capital of the World ."

If you want to discover Puerto Rico beyond the San Juan cruise port, consider renting a car or hiring a guide to reach lesser-known destinations. Here are 12 of the best things to see and do in Puerto Rico.

1. Eat your fill of pork in Guavate

There's a pork trail in Guavate that is a meat lover's dream come true. Only 40 minutes from San Juan, the town within the mountain municipality of Cayey is most active on weekends when you'll also find live music and street vendors. There are lechoneras lined up one after another, small shops specializing in roasted pork-one of several essential Puerto Rico dishes to try.

How the lechoneras came to exist depends on who you ask : One account attributes them to the need to serve locals driving from San Juan, while another claims there used to be a penitentiary nearby, and that visiting families needed somewhere to eat; the prison had a farm that raised hogs. No matter their origin, the lechoneras in the area are a beloved part of the community, each serving their own version of pork-pair your cut of choice with arroz con gandules , a yellow rice and pigeon peas side item that is a Puerto Rican staple.

2. Experience natural waterslides at Las Paylas

Ever thrown yourself down a waterslide carved into giant boulders by the flow of a river? Las Paylas is a series of natural slides and pools located in a resident's backyard in Luquillo, about 45 minutes from San Juan. The slides are a three-minute walk from the driveway turned parking lot. Spend the morning in nature's playground, rope swing optional. Exercise caution and tuck in your elbows while going down the slides. If you work up an appetite, stop by the local kiosks for an empanada and chilled fresh coconut on your way back.

3. Marvel at pink lakes in Cabo Rojo

Cabo Rojo is only an hour from the airport in Aguadilla for those flying into the west side of the island. The area is a draw for its natural wonders, including salt flats that look like a vast span of pink lakes in the right light. While this phenomenon is not unique to Puerto Rico (other examples from around the world include Lake Tyrrell in Australia and San Francisco Bay's salt ponds), it's a rare sight and one that's largely unobstructed and unmonitored here.

There's a small, volunteer-run information center, but the salt flats are not officially labeled or advertised as a tourist destination. There are no designated entry points or tickets for admission. You can park by the side of the main road and enter for free. You'll find the salt flats en route to La Playuela, commonly referred to as Playa Sucia , a popular white-sand beach surrounded by large cliffs on which you can hike or bike.

4. Taste savory ice cream flavors at Heladeria Lares

Creative flavors and community connection are family traditions at Heladeria Lares , a small ice cream shop nestled in the small town of Lares in the center of Puerto Rico. The recipes are created in-house and can range from sweet potato to cilantro flavored. The ice cream shop makes the perfect stop after exploring the nearby cave system at Parque Nacional de las Cavernas del Río Camuy.

5. Meet "Flaming June" at the Museo de Arte de Ponce

The well-known painting Flaming June portrays a sleeping woman in a vibrant saffron dress. You can see this work by by Frederic Leighton ar the Museo de Arte de Ponce . The museum opened to the public in 1959 and houses an estimated 4,500 works of art, including pieces from Puerto Rico and Latin America.

6. See Ponce's Gaudí-style architecture

Located in the southern part of Puerto Rico's main island, Ponce is full of delights for art and architecture lovers ; the Parque de Bombas is a visually striking former fire station and one of the island's most notable landmarks, while Casa Weichers-Villaronga is a neoclassical mansion that doubles as an architecture museum.

Enjoy the city's own style of architecture, called Ponce Creole, which incorporates fantastical elements-think intricate, ornamental decorations on rooftops, stately columns, and exterior crown molding. Notable buildings with this style include Casa Weichers-Villaronga, the Museo de la Música Puertoriqueña, and Casa-Font Ubides .

7. Go ziplining at Toro Verde

" The Monster " at Toro Verde is one of the longest ziplines in the world. It's hung between the trees in Orocovis, a mountain town toward the center of the island about 90 minutes from San Juan. The 1.57-mile-long line takes an adrenaline-packed two minutes to fly from one end to another, Superman-style. Other zipline options are available for those seeking moderate to mild thrills. You can make reservations online ; there is a restaurant and bar on site if you want a drink in celebration of your bravery afterwards.

8. Taste local rum at Ron del Barrilito

Puerto Rico has no shortage of rum distilleries . Opened in 2019, the Ron del Barrilito factory offers guests the option to tour the building, Hacienda Santa Ana, for $40, or attend a mixology class or partake in a premium tasting tour for $80 each. Here you'll also find Ron del Barrilito 5 Star, a collector's edition aged up to 35 years and more than $700 per bottle.

You will also spot a special "freedom barrel" on your tour, undisturbed since 1942 and reserved for consumption by the people of Bayamon in the event Puerto Rico one day declares independence.

9. Explore Old San Juan with a food tour

Those looking to experience Old San Juan in a new way should consider a food tour around the city with Spoon . The area is walkable and the tour includes history about the city's plan and design. From freshly brewed coffee to avocado stuffed with pork, you'll taste the classics while simultaneously supporting small businesses.

For an upscale dining experience, head to Marmalade Restaurant and Wine Bar , which offers international dishes like a harissa-seasoned ahi tuna tartar.

10. Try river tubing at the Tanama River

The Tanama River in the town of Utuado offers a twist on the traditional lazy river; it'll float you into a pitch-black cave. The reward at the end of this adventure, which accommodates large groups, is a free facial thanks to a large supply of river clay. The word "Tanama" is Taino for "butterfly," so expect to see many of them on your visit.

11. Kayak in a bioluminescent bay

There are three places to find bioluminescence in Puerto Rico: Fajardo, Lajas, and Vieques. Mosquito Bay in Vieques is the brightest of them all, and several companies offer evening kayak tours on glass-bottom boats. Go with Bieque Ecotrips if you want a smaller group tour; Aqua Sunset Tours is an operator to consider if you want a fully clear kayak versus just a glass bottom. Plan your visit during the new moon to see the brightest contrast possible, and make reservations ahead of time as spots fill up quickly.

12. See Taino petroglyphs at Cueva del Indio

Cueva del Indio is about 25 minutes north of Cueva Ventana. If possible, aim to see both caves on one trip. Cueva del Indio is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's so scenic it's been featured in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides . There are a number of Taino petroglyphs on site dating back nearly a thousand years. Wear sneakers or hiking shoes as the terrain is rugged and explore at your own risk.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Meteorologists on Tuesday for the first time issued a heat advisory for the entire island of Puerto Rico, struggling with chronic power outages as it broils under an unrelenting sun.

All 78 of the U.S. territory’s municipalities were placed under a heat advisory or warning, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands. This is the first time forecasters have extended a heat advisory beyond Puerto Rico’s coastal areas since the alert system was put in place six years ago.

Heat indexes were expected to reach up to 114 degrees Fahrenheit (about 46 degrees Celsius) along most of Puerto Rico’s coastal areas on Tuesday and through Wednesday morning as a dense cloud of Saharan dust from Africa blankets the island.

Ernesto Morales, warning coordination meteorologist with the San Juan National Weather Service, told The Associated Press that while the entire island has met heat advisory criteria before, this is the first time it has been issued island-wide.

“Just like hurricane or flood warnings, we want the public to make decisions taking these advisories into account,” Morales said. He noted that climate change and warming waters are contributing to the island’s oppressive heat.

The advisory is in effect from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The dense layer of Saharan dust — composed of mineral dust from West Africa — moving across Puerto Rico and the Atlantic on Tuesday is making the heat worse. The dust particles are considered a health hazard, especially for those with allergies or weakened immune systems.

Justin timberlake has no rehab plans after dwi bust, apologizes to tour crew: reports.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Justin Timberlake has no plans to go to rehab following his drunken-driving bust  in the Hamptons — but has since issued an apology to his behind-the-stage crew and “acted like a boss” taking accountability for himself, according to reports.

The “Cry Me A River” crooner remains laser-focused on his world tour following his DWI arrest Tuesday morning in Sag Harbor — and plans to stray from the typical Hollywood playbook that would involve tidying up his image by going to rehab, sources told TMZ.

While voluntarily attending treatment could put Timberlake in a better position for a plea deal, the pop star seemed mostly concerned about his work, apparently telling one of the cops arresting him: “This is going to ruin the tour.’’

The 43-year-old dad of two reassured his crew members that his “Forget Tomorrow” world tour would go on during a lengthy conference call in the hours after his early morning arrest, sources told The Sun.

The tour crew was worried as Timberlake’s arrest “wasn’t the best thing to happen” with the upcoming show this summer, but the pop star acted as a “very solid leader” during the call and ended up “owning” the situation, the source said.

“He made sure that this arrest didn’t create tension in the crew, he reacted like a boss, like someone who owns his s–t,” the source added.

“He said sorry for bringing this kind of attention to the team. Everyone was happy to hear what he said.”

A second insider told the outlet the “SexyBack” singer was determined to continue with the tour.

“We were quickly told nothing was going to change,” the person said. “He is a responsible guy who made a mistake.”

Timberlake was pulled over in Sag Harbor, Long Island, just after midnight Tuesday and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was also cited for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane, court documents show.

He told arresting officers he had just “one martini, and I followed my friends home’’ — while refusing three times to take a Breathalyzer test.

He also allegedly told arresting officers, who did not recognize the singer, that the incident would “ruin the tour.”

The married dad of two has acknowledged previous issues with “excessive drinking,” but tried and failed to pass field sobriety tests, according to court documents.

He faces up to a year in Suffolk County jail if convicted of the DWI rap.

Increased Risk of Dengue Virus Infections in the United States

Distributed via the CDC Health Alert Network June 25, 2024, 2:30 PM ET CDCHAN-00511

Summary The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing this Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory to notify healthcare providers, public health authorities and the public of an increased risk of dengue virus (DENV) infections in the United States in 2024. Global incidence of dengue in 2024 has been the highest on record for this calendar year; many countries are reporting higher-than-usual dengue case numbers . In 2024, countries in the Americas have reported a record-breaking number of dengue cases, exceeding the highest number ever recorded in a single year. From January 1 – June 24, 2024, countries in the Americas reported more than 9.7 million dengue cases, twice as many as in all of 2023 (4.6 million cases). In the United States, Puerto Rico has declared a public health emergency (1,498 cases) and a higher-than-expected number of dengue cases have been identified among U.S. travelers (745 cases) from January 1 – June 24, 2024. In the setting of increased global and domestic incidence of dengue, healthcare providers should take steps including:

• Have increased suspicion of dengue among people with fever who have been in areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission within 14 days before illness onset,
• Order appropriate diagnostic tests for acute DENV infection: reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR] and IgM antibody tests, or non-structural protein 1 [NS1] antigen tests and IgM antibody tests,
• Ensure timely reporting of dengue cases to public health authorities, and
• Promote mosquito bite prevention measures among people living in or visiting areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission.

Background Dengue is the most common arboviral disease globally. It is caused by four distinct but closely related dengue viruses (DENV-1, -2, -3, and -4). DENVs are transmitted through bites of infected Aedes species mosquito vectors. Infection with one DENV generally induces life-long protection against infection from that specific DENV but only protects against other DENVs for several months to years. Dengue is a nationally notifiable disease in the United States. Six U.S. territories and freely associated states are classified as areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission : Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. In the rest of the United States, local transmission of DENV has been limited, with sporadic cases or small outbreaks in Florida, Hawaii, and Texas. However, confirmed local DENV transmission has also been reported by Arizona and California over the past two years.

Approximately one in four DENV infections are symptomatic and can be mild or severe. Symptoms begin after an incubation period of 5–7 days (range 3–10 days) and present as fever accompanied by non-specific signs and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, rash, muscle aches, joint pain, bone pain, pain behind the eyes, headache, or low white blood cell counts. Warning signs are specific clinical findings that predict progression to severe disease. Warning signs include abdominal pain or tenderness, persistent vomiting, clinical fluid accumulation (e.g., ascites, pleural effusion), mucosal bleeding, lethargy or restlessness, progressive increase of hematocrit, or liver enlargement >2cm. Severe disease, with associated severe bleeding, shock or respiratory distress caused by plasma leakage, or end-organ impairment, develops in 1 in 20 people with symptomatic dengue. Infants aged ≤1 year, pregnant people, adults aged ≥65 years, and people with certain medical conditions are at increased risk of severe dengue. Although a second DENV infection (i.e., with a different DENV from the first infection) carries a higher risk of severe disease than a first, third, or fourth infection, any infection can lead to severe disease.

Patients with symptoms compatible with dengue can be tested with both molecular and serologic diagnostic tests. All patients with suspected DENV infection should be tested with RT-PCR (i.e., a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT)) or a NS1 antigen test, and also with IgM antibody test to confirm DENV infection. These tests can be considered regardless of the symptom onset date, although the test sensitivity of RT-PCR and NS1 antigen tests decrease after the first 7 days. IgG detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a single serum sample should not be used to diagnose a patient with acute dengue because it does not distinguish between current and previous DENV infection. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved testing is available at public health laboratories and some commercial laboratories. State, tribal, territorial, and local health departments, and CDC can offer additional testing guidance.

There are no antiviral medications approved to treat dengue. Treatment is supportive and requires careful volume management. Appropriate triage, management, and follow-up remain the most effective interventions to reduce dengue morbidity and mortality. Expectant management of patients at high risk for severe disease and rapid initiation of a standardized fluid replacement strategy recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) can decrease mortality from 13% to <1%. In June 2021, the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices recommended a dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia , for children aged 9–16 years with laboratory confirmation of previous DENV infection and living in areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission such as Puerto Rico. While the vaccine is considered safe and effective, the manufacturer (Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., Paris France) has discontinued production citing a lack of demand. Vaccine administration will continue in Puerto Rico until available doses expire in 2026.There are no vaccines recommended for travelers, adults, or persons without a previous DENV infection.

Dengue cases resurged globally after the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, more than 4.6 million cases and 4000 deaths were reported in the Americas region. As of June 24, 2024, more than 9.7 million dengue cases have been reported in the Americas, twice as many as in all of 2023 (4.6 million cases). Dengue transmission peaks during the warmer and wetter months in many tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue cases are likely to increase as global temperatures increase. Higher temperatures can expand the range of the mosquitoes that spread dengue, as well as affect other factors that facilitate virus transmission like faster viral amplification in the mosquito, increased vector survival, and changes in reproduction and biting rates. U.S. summer travel often overlaps with the months of increased dengue activity in many countries. Epidemics in the Americas region increase travel-associated cases and limited local transmission in the continental United States. A higher-than-expected number of dengue cases (total of 2,241 cases, including 1,498 in Puerto Rico) were reported in the United States from January 1 – June 24, 2024. Public health authorities in Puerto Rico declared a public health emergency in March 2024 because of the high number of cases reported during the low dengue season. Healthcare providers should be prepared to recognize, diagnose, manage, and report dengue cases to public health authorities; public health partners should investigate cases and disseminate clear prevention messages to the public. The CDC is actively implementing several strategies to address the increase in cases of dengue in the United States, including:

• Launching a program-led emergency response, which was activated on April 8, 2024.
• Providing regularly scheduled monthly situational updates on dengue to partners, stakeholders, and jurisdictions.
• Expanding laboratory capacity to improve laboratory testing approaches.
• Collaborating with State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Health Departments to strengthen dengue surveillance and recommend prevention strategies.
• Educating the public on dengue prevention.

Recommendations for Healthcare Providers

• Maintain a high suspicion for dengue among patients with fever and recent travel (within 14 days before illness onset) to areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission .
• Consider locally acquired dengue among patients who have signs and symptoms highly compatible with dengue (e.g., fever, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, aches, pains, rash) in areas with competent mosquito vectors .
• Order appropriate FDA-approved dengue tests (RT-PCR and IgM antibody tests, or NS1 and IgM antibody tests), and do not delay treatment waiting for test results to confirm dengue.
• Know the warning signs for progression to severe dengue, which include abdominal pain or tenderness, persistent vomiting, clinical fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding, lethargy or restlessness, and liver enlargement.
• For people with suspected dengue who do not have warning signs and are not part of a population at high risk for severe dengue, consider outpatient management with close follow-up.
• Teach patients about the warning signs that may appear as their fever starts to decline and instruct them to seek care urgently if they experience any warning signs.
• Recognize the critical phase of dengue. The critical phase begins when fever starts to decline and lasts for 24–48 hours. During this phase, some patients require close monitoring and may deteriorate within hours without appropriate intravenous (IV) fluid management.
• Hospitalize patients with severe dengue or any warning sign of progression to severe dengue and follow CDC/WHO protocols for IV fluid management .
• Follow local guidelines to report dengue cases to state, tribal, local, or territorial health departments.

Recommendations for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Health Departments

• Use FDA-approved dengue tests. Ensure access to dengue testing for all patients with suspected dengue.
• Remind clinicians of the high risk of dengue among patients with fever who have been in areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission .
• Remind clinicians that local transmission can occur in areas with competent vectors and to test patients with compatible illnesses even without a history of having been in an area with dengue.
• Inform healthcare providers and the public when locally acquired and travel-associated dengue cases are detected in the area.
• Report dengue cases to CDC via ArboNET , the national arboviral surveillance system managed by CDC and state health departments.
• Take the lead in investigating dengue cases and outbreaks.
• Consider targeted outreach about increasing dengue risk to healthcare providers more likely to identify dengue cases (i.e., travel medicine clinics, infectious disease physicians, or healthcare systems serving highly mobile populations such as migrant and border health clinics, and clinics with frequent travelers to areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission) and messaging to populations at higher risk for dengue.

Recommendations for the Public

• Use Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellents during travel to and after returning from areas with frequent or continuous dengue transmission.
• Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved pants and shirts.
• Use air conditioning and window screens when possible, to lower risk for mosquito bites indoors.
• Dump and drain containers that hold water to reduce mosquito egg-laying sites in your home and neighborhood.
• Seek medical care if you have a fever or have dengue symptoms and live in or traveled to an area with dengue outbreaks .
• If you plan international travel to a an area with frequent or continuous dengue transmission , protect yourself from mosquito bites during and after your trip.
