Packing for Puerto Rico all depends on whether you’re looking to spend your time delving deep into forests, basking upon beaches, indulging in the soothing ambiance of beaches or a combination of all three.

Puerto Rico boasts a hot, tropical climate; as such summer wear would be a good choice for the day to day exploration to ensure comfort while some casual smart clothes are recommended for evening events. If you’re looking to visit more rural sites such as forests and mountains then be sure to bring sensible hiking gear but nothing too encumbered, while beach-goers should definitely aim to bring some swimwear, sunscreen and mosquito repellent.

Don’t forget that Puerto Rico is a United States Territory, and though Spanish is one of the main languages, the currency is still the United States Dollar.

Settled deep in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is no stranger to tropical climates with everything from arid deserts to cool mountain tops, and though there are varying climates depending on where on the island you are and at what time; Puerto Rico does consistently prove to be a great place to go to for great weather, with average temperatures of around 26 to 28°C year round.

The dry season in Puerto Rico lasts from December to April while the wet season stretches from April to November, and while the island is susceptible to constant trade winds bringing in rainfall, these tend to be flash showers that help break up the hot weather.

The dry season is always the best time to pay a visit to Puerto Rico thanks to its lower humidity and cooler evenings.
