Puerto Rico is the name of the main island, but it also brings together many of the smaller islands and some surrounding archipelagos. Since 2012 it has been part of the United States of America following a popular referendum, even if the state has maintained a certain governmental autonomy. In the cities and in the capital San Juan the strong Spanish colonial imprint stands out, present above all in the palaces, in the squares and among the kind and friendly people.
The territory of Puerto Rico is characterized by forests and jungles that cover a rocky, limestone soil, rich in inlets and caves, the coasts are sandy and bathed by the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea, where palm trees frame the skyline seen from the sea .
