Puerto Rico Travel Tips
Submitted by Maximus on 2009-04-13 04:11:30 (via escape.topuertorico.com)
Puerto Rican culture is a mix of four cultures, African (from the slaves), Taíno (Amerindians), Spanish, and more recently, North American. From Africans, the Puerto Ricans have obtained the "bomba and plena", a type of music and dance including percussions and maracas.

Which area of Puerto Rico you are reffering to?

Because just like in any other country, Puerto Rico has safer areas and areas that you should be careful about, but normally puertorricans are very friendly with tourist.

Yes, Puerto Rico is a safe place. Like any other country, Puerto Rico have their non secure areas, but you are not going to visit those areas, right? Puerto Rico have beautiful plances like the Natural Forest named El Yunque, located in Rio Grande. Some people says that they can observed OVNI's activities there.

I lived in Puerto Rico for the past 13 years, before lived in New Jersey so I think I have more insight on its safety. Some people don’t realize that PR is part of the United States although not a full state, the laws are very similar to other states. Federal laws are the same.
Many time I feel safer here than in NJ or NY. The places that have a high percentage of crimes are the slums where drug users are high but this is only a small part of PR most of the island is completely safe especially for tourist. It’s just like traveling to NY. You can feel free to travel all over the island to all the tourist locations there are.

When you visit Puerto Rico is- in a way- like when you visit any other country. There is allways a good and a bad place. Puerto Rico is full of great people. I am sure that you'll enjoy your stay. Personally I enjoy helping our guests feel at home and I try to help them see and enjoy as mutch as they can from their visit.
