Puerto Rico my families home land is about to bewater because of rising floods what can be done?
Q. I am fearing that Puerto Rico my families home land is about to be underwater in about 50 years. The government said that they are taking extreme measuring in trying to stop rising water in Puerto Rico by putting a wall around Puerto Rico. Is this even possible? If not can the united states allow all of them to settle there?

A. The reason for constant floods during rain season and with the coasts is that the land is being dug up and mountains blown up to build malls, roads and hotels. The coasts are losing land because the sand of the beaches is being used by the miles to build new sky scrapers, hotels, homes and so on. As for the center of the island where floods are nothing new, tearing down trees, breaking down mountains and destroying other natural resources causes the water ways to change it's course and since the rivers and streams are dissapprearing and there is no where the water can flow freely, so it spreads and floods. This is a matter of stop digging out the sand on the beaches, and stop destroying the trees and mountains or in a few years Puerto Rico… [cont.]

Where is the best place to snorkel in Puerto Rico?
Q. My family of 5 (2 adults and 3 girls in their 20's) are planning a trip to Puerto Rico in August. Where would you recommend we go snorkeling? We are planning to stay in Isle Verde. Should we go on our own or should we go on a tour?
Asked by Gail - Mon Jul 14 08:40:56 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Isla Verde is a great area to stay at, but its not the best for snorkeling. The best snorkeling can be found of the east coast town of Fajardo. There are 2 islands named Culebra & Vieques that have great snorkeling conditions. You can take a cheap ferry ride from Fajardo. Also the smaller cays of Palomintio & Icacos have great snorkeling but there are not ferries, you can pay a boater to take you over. Culebra: Vieques: Also on the south coast of PR, playa la parguera near Ponce/Guanica has good snorkeling & you dont need to take a boat. You can rent equipment right on the beach. Or if you would like to take a boat off the coast, then caja de muertos island off the coast of Ponce is nice too. & off the west coast town of Rincon is… [cont.]

How important is Mexican culture in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo?
Q. Mexican culture seems to be very cherished throughout Latin America. All Latinos I've met regardless of nationality listen to Mexican music like the Tigres del Notre, are familiar with Vicente Fernandez, love Mexican food, watch Mexican novelas, etc. Is this also true for Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

A. I can't speak for Dom. Rep., but I do know they like Mexico and Mexicans very much in Puerto Rico. A Mexican friend of mine moved there many years ago and she dances in a folkloric ballet that performs only Mexican dances and is very popular over there -- they are often invited in TV shows and stuff. And of course not all of the dancers are mexican... so it looks like PR girls love Mexican typical dances, which makes me very proud and glad!

A. The Caribe Hilton is in a very good location: If you like walking, you can easily walk into Old San Juan from there (or take the bus). We went in late July last year and we stayed in Condado (not too far from the Hilton) and it was great. The weather was ok, really humid though. If you do go, definitely rent a car and explore the rest of the island. El Yunque is beautiful, and the west side of the island is nice too.

What is the safest city to travel to in Puerto Rico?
Q. I am traveling to Puerto Rico for my honeymoon and i want to stay somewhere that is luxurious but safe. Any suggestions?
Asked by Asyah - Wed Jun 10 23:56:13 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Any town in Puerto Rico is quite safe for tourists. Just use normal precautions like you would in NYC or anywhere else. Anyway for a luxurious honeymoon I would suggest El Conquistador Resort in Fajardo. They have a gorgeous private island called Palomino with the whitest sand & clearest water imaginable. Fajardo is only about 45 minutes from San Juan so you can still go there to site see. And Fajardo is about 15 minutes from El Yunque rain forest. I would also reccomend San Juan if you like being in the city with all the action and around the historic sites. And I would reccomend Rincon or somewhere on the west coast for a more laidback vacation. Enjoy :)
