I (MtF trans woman, 26) have traveled solo twice before, but those weren’t to the Caribbean. Said trips were also pre-transition. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard this is one of the more LGBT-friendly islands in the Caribbean.
I’m thinking of staying on the island for seven nights. If I do, would it be possible to visit Old San Juan, explore El Yunque, and find at least one lechonera around those areas during my stay? I don’t have enough driving experience to safely drive a rental car.
Not sure what specific beaches I should see but that’s a bridge I’ll cross when I get to it. I’m more concerned about what the ideal hotel would be for me if I wanted to do all those things.
Last time I was in Puerto Rico was over 14 years back with my sister and parents. I only remember going into the old town once. Other than that we never left that area. Then again it’s been so long that I barely remember the place at all.
They say you haven’t really been to Puerto Rico unless you’ve been outside San Juan.
