Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico, known by "La isla del Encanto" (the island of enchantment) is where I was born. Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico), is an unincorporated territory of the United States, located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of both the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands.Puerto Rico is only 100 miles long by 35 miles wide, making it the smallest island of the Greater Antilles. Puerto Rico (Spanish for "rich port") cosists of an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and several islands: Vieques, Culebra, Mona and numerous islets. In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship which means that Puerto Ricans do not need a passport to travel to the United States or any of its territories. Same for US citizens that live in any of the 50 states, they can go to Puerto Rico at any time without the need of acquire a Visa or passport, which makes it a popular destination for US Americans.

"I believe I can fly" zip line La Bestia (the Beast) with my sister-At 853 feet off ground!
Toro Verde Nature Adventure Park

This zip line is different from all the others. For this one, you are put into a large body harness, and you lay down and get attached to the cables from your back. At 4745 feet and almost a mile long, the Beast is one of the longest zip lines in the world.  This zip line takes about 2 minutes from end to end, and you are going pretty fast during parts of it — with the wind whipping across your face (hang onto your hats and sunglasses). You have time to really enjoy the scenery. It was really fun, and over way too fast — I could have done that again and again.
