Outdoor Telescope
What should I do during a weekend trip to Puerto Rico?
Hey guys, I’m a 20 yo college guy planning a short trip to Puerto Rico (San Juan) December 6-9 to escape the insanity of school, lol. I’m just looking for recommendations, etc. on what to do the ~2.5 days I’m there. Nightlife (gay), outdoor, and just overall young guy activities…
I’d really like to go to the radio telescope in Arecibo–maybe not for a full tour, but just to see it. (I’m a die hard James Bond fan and must make a pilgrimage to the cradle from GoldenEye!) So suggestions of things in Arecibo to do are welcome as well.
Thanks for any info…
Ok I just want to tell you that the Arecibo Telescope is great to see. It is up high in the lush green mountains & looks like something straight out of the future. Def don’t miss it! It is about an hour & 1/2 drive from San Juan to Arecibo. So if u are comfortable u can rent a car (thrifty near the airport is about $35/day) & get a map & drive there. Or they have tours from San Juan that go to Arecibo Telescope & Camuy Caves in 1 day for around $85. It’s only $5 to get in, but if u take the tour thats included. Its like a science museum w/ cool space stuff to check out & a gift shop & then u walk outside & see the Telescope. If you want to take the tour check out this below, they have a date open for Dec 8th.

—————————————————–
While your in San Juan u need to go to ‘El Morro’ the 500+ yr old war fort overlooking the ocean, its beautiful & also walk the old cobblestone streets of Old San Juan & u can shop colorful artisan shops & boutiques & def eat the local cuisine. Puerto Rican food is delicious. There is alot of nightlife in San Juan & legal drinking age is 18 so party up!! & Bacardi rum is produced in PR so its cheap if u buy it at the right places, tourist areas they will inflate it of course. & San Juan has some good beaches too, Isla Verde is nice.
If u find extra time u can go to ‘El Yunque’ rainforest this is a 45 minute drive from San Juan & they also have tours too. & at night u can go to 1 of the bioluminescent bays where the water glows in the dark. There is 1 in Fajardo right next to the rain forest or u can take the ferry to Vieques 6 miles away & go to mosquito bay’s bio bay. However w/ 2.5 days u probably wont have time to fit this in. So enjoy the telescope & San Juan’s history & beach es & food & nightlife!
