PR map

The Puerto Rico map is divided into four major geographical areas. San Juan, the eastern islands, El Yunque, and some coastal areas are also linked to their own pages. Click and enjoy the sights and virtual tour of the Island.

PR west mapPR east map Tourist maps of the West (78k) and East (61k) sides of Puerto Rico will help you locate places of interest. The white sand beaches and coral reefs are mainly on the north coast. The mountains run the length of the center rising 4,000 ft. at their highest point. The Arecibo Observatory is in the mountains south of the city. The driest area is the south west section. Boqueron Beach is on the southwest coast and Luquillo Beach is on the northeast coast near the town of Fajardo. The El Yunque rain forest and its waterfalls are just south of Luquillo. Large waves crash the lava cliffs at Isabela and roll in near Rincon. The eastern islands, with their ports and beautiful beaches are 6 and 25 miles off shore from Fajardo. The Island's weather is usually mild year round although major hurricanes strike the island every several years.
PR west roadmap PR east roadmap Use the West (149k) and East (151k) roadmaps to find major roads pointing you in the right direction. Using the toll roads and freeways, you can cover distances quickly: less than 2hr . to Ponce, less than 1hr. to Fajardo, and 1hr. to Arecibo from San Juan (non-rush hour). Two-lane highways between major towns travel at half that average speed and the good mountain roads can be difficult at 30 mph. Its a good investment to buy ($2.95) a Gousha roadmap of the Island. Roads are not always well marked.
