Best time to travelAs temperatures are quite constant, visit Puerto Rico from mid-April to June, the shoulder months between the busy winter season and wet summer, to avoid the crowds and expense of peak winter season.
What to wearDressing is casual and choose clothing suitable for the heat. Natural fabrics work best, and be prepared to layer as the nights cool down.
