Is Puerto Rico safe to travel now?
With drug trafficking gangs, gun crime and scary weather to worry about, you might think that Puerto Rico is a no-no. But it’s really fine. It’s a pretty safe place to visit. In fact, safer than most US cities – and a lot more beautiful, too, with all those palm-fringed beaches and tropical rainforests.
Are there any travel advisories for Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico doesn’t actually have a travel advisory—at least not from the U.S. State Department. Why? It’s an American territory! Keep in mind, however, that the State Department has issued a blanket travel warning.
How dangerous is Puerto Rico now?
Yes, Puerto Rico is a safe place to visit, however there is a risk of natural disasters – such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The island has largely recovered from the impact of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico in December 2017.
Is it a good time to travel to Puerto Rico?
The best time to visit Puerto Rico is from mid-April to June, right after the busy winter season and just before the rainy summer. Spring weather is also very pleasant, barely escaping the mid-80s on most days. However, keep in mind a fall visit leaves you susceptible to the effects of Atlantic hurricane season.
