HOW EXPENSIVE IS PUERTO RICO? TRAVEL GUIDE & COST 

Hey everyone, So I visited 6 countries in 2018 and Puerto Rico was definitely the best vacation of the year! :D You can watch all the Puerto Rico videos in this playlist : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M-4SRi63gVQ.html Also: Sign up to Airbnb using this link and get $40 free credit (Worldwide): www.airbnb.com/c/chrisd30481

I’m Puerto Rican why am I watching this 😂🇵🇷

..flamenco beach...is one of the number 7 in the world best beaches..

You practically did all my homework for me man. Will be there in a few weeks! Cheers!

You missed the bioluminescent bay!!! It's a natural glow in the dark bay!!! And no it's not radioactive... Lol

The potholes on the roads are not due to maria. It is a thing...it is always a thing in PR

YES!! Finally someone who ventures out of the San Juan area!!! Cueva Ventana used to be free until they privatized it. I find the entry fee excessive tbh. Love Playa Buyé and Crash Boat. A couple of weeks ago I went to Vieques and fell in love! You should visit the Bioluminescent Bay there! The tour guide told us it has a Guinness Record for how bright it shines!! Great video! Glad you enjoy the Island I call home! ❤️

Definitely agree with some of the comments below. Next time you guys come to PR make sure to hit some of us locals up because I promise you will experience Puerto Rico in a completely different way and you will fall in love. You were caught in the touristy places, activities and costs. But there are SO many amazing places, beaches, towns, activities, waterfalls, rivers, restaurants and many more things that you didn't get to experience. Also, food here is not really that expensive, you just need to know the right places to go to ;) So so glad you got to come to our beautiful paradise, and hope you come back some day.

Great video! Awesome videography! My wife and I toured Puerto Rico for our one year anniversary and I cannot wait to go back. The landscapes, the beaches, Carol, the water, all beautiful!

Definitely should try and befriend locals BEFORE you go. They know all the spots to hit. My lady is Puerto Rican, who has family there, so we visit often. I eat a lot at the beach. Alcapurrias are my favorite foods there. There are so many beautiful hidden gems, but you definitely need a car. Let me know when you are going back.......

3:10 - Old San Juan 4:19 - Del Morro/ El Yunque 5:07 - Luquillo Beach 5:37 - Vacia Alega 5:56 - Culebra, Playa Flamenco, Viekas 8:18 - Gilligans Island 9:20 - Cueva Ventana 10:03 - Gozalandia Falls 10:37 - Playa Buye, Crash Boat Beach

From a fellow Texan & a new sub, thank you for your videos! They have really helped me plan an itinerary with things to see/do and what to expect when I visit next week! Keep on jumpin!

I have been to PR many times and your review was awesome and spot on!

Hotels are very expensive, and the pricing I got from Airbnb wasn't too much of a difference. I stayed at a Hyatt place in a town called Manati for a week, then an Airbnb for a week at Cerro Gordo Beach in a town called Vega Alta.

Anniversary in PR in 2 weeks!!! Thanks for this tidbit!!!!

It’s so fun to see people explore Puerto Rico when u r from there and know every single part of the borinquen

Thanks so much for the video. I’m a single mom who is big on affordable travel destinations. I appreciate videos that include location names, prices and ways of transportation. This video was very helpful

I'll be using your Airbnb code thank you in advance 😊 can't wait to go to flamenco beach it'll be my first time on a plane and going outside the states 😁

I use Yelp on the Island to find new restaurants. Best time for food is during lunch time (lunch specials) eat local. Stay away from fast food and just enjoy your self.

Yes...the car rental quote you get online from the US almost doubles once you get there and the rest of the fees are added.

Thank you so much for detailing some of the cost on a lot of the point interest of the island, not q lot of RU-vidrs do this. Saludos from Pennsylvania and hope to see a vid of you in the Dominican Republic 👍

We love your new video,you are very professional and a master talker.A lot of people can learn even English from you because you have such a superb,simple accent and it is not difficult to understand you.All your videos are very good and now we can say you are a very good movvie maker.Thank you very much for all your affords and hard work.Congrats for a tremendous traveling tips.Your fans from Indiana,USA.

Nice overall trip! I'm always happy to see people visit more then just the touristy area. && I agree that to be able to explore the island we have to spend a little more then we want, but there are a lot of cheaper options around. Like other commenters said, when you visit PR, you gotta befriend some locals they will point you to financially comfortable places.

Thanks for sharing and great seeing locals commenting and offering advise! I'm planning for 2020 and would love to relocate. Thought about moving to the USVI but I think PR is a better fit for me, especially the tax breaks for business

Man We had a spot for $17 a Night. I rented the Whole House one time for $30 a Day. in Aguadilla on AirBNB and it was closet to the Airport, Also It was about 15 Minutes to Crash Boat. Our Rental Car was also under $25 a day. They took care of us when we landed and we picked up the car and was on the road ASAP, under 15 minutes to our room. I have family out there so getting cheap food was easy. Plus we had Coffee every morning at the Airport in Aguadilla. It was a 30 Minute Drive to Rincon and all the Beaches to see the Sunset. Deals are there and Know where to stay is on the West side. Staying on the East side cost more and is not a safe place at night. Glad you had a great time out there. We did the Sailing Catamaran for about $80 per person. Best 6 hours with unlimited Drinks and Food. Even got a chance to sail the ship myself. It was great.

I'm from Puerto Rico I grew up in caguas and they are way cheaper ways I go back home at least 3 times a year with my wife and 3 kids I rent a car and hotel and it doesn't cost a lot need to look for deals look like you missed out on good food in old San Juan by the. cruise port etc....good video thanks for the video

Heading there in June for our 25th Anniversary. Thanks for the tips.

Everything we sell in Puerto Rico we can't get from any country. Everything goes first to US and then to the island. So, because of that since everything is imported from US, its expensive for us, so we charge higher.

This video was by far the most helpful in my search. Thankyou so much!!!!

Bro i love your videos keep up the great work. Very informative and helpful💯

Staying in San Juan the 9th through 16th, your videos have really helped me plan my itinerary. Thanks a bunch, look forward to your future videos.... you really do excellent production, not sure what you do for a living but I bet you could make a bunch of money editing videos for people! :]

AirBnB is expensive in PR now. Food is way more expensive now too. Thanks for showing PR to the rest of the world. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless you guys👍🏿.

Good honest report for the time allowed. Tourism in puerto rico has ALWAYS been an expensive proposition. However, proper planning can save you a ton and make it a worthwhile.

Thank you for the great video. I used it as a guide for my first, recent trip to PR. I absolutely loved PR. I went to some of the same locations, but did not have enough time for all of them. I am already scheduling another trip for next March. I can't wait to get back to those beautiful beaches and the wonderful people of PR. What a paradise.

Love this, visited PR for the first time this year and it was so beautiful! ❤️🇵🇷

First comment 😏 Nice video man, Can't wait to go back to my Island ❤️

Unfortunately potholes have always been a problem, for decades, but they got worse after Hurricane Maria. Btw, they charged you too much for cueva Ventana, last time I went they charged me $5 at the entrance and it was for maintenance, but I know it has become a popular place in the last decade and the land owners are making a profit out of it. The correct pronunciation for Fajardo is as if it was spelled with an H instead of a J.

Great job on your video! it was really informative and we really like to see the prices on most things before we go. thumbs up!

Thanks for the tips man! I really really enjoyed the video and learned of some great places! :) I'm going to Puerto Rico on honey moon in may!

It’s incredible how I’m from Puerto Rico and haven’t been to some of the places you mentioned! Excited to visit them thanks for the list and prices

For the food, find a cheap looking "chin-chorro" with metal sheet roofing, tons of food for low price and watch "Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations" Airbnb for stay, if your budget is tight?, stay away from San Juan tourist areas, you missed Icacos Island, Boqueron Beach, There's also the Camuy Caverns and SETI (worlds largest radio telescope) in Arecibo.

The Panaderias (BAKERY) offer huge delicious sandwiches with pan boricua for good prices and many have delicious home cooking featuring traditional dishes (arroz con habichuelas, platano, pinon, serenata, lechon, pollo al fricase, etc) . Every town has at least one, look for the sign Panaderia and also BAKERY. Try them out!

Puerto Rico does have transportation, buses. You just have to know where the bus centers are, there's also a train in an area and trolleys. There is parking in San Juan, I use to leave my car in Doña Fellas parking all day for $5 only. You have to go with someone that knows the island's systems...

Thank you for all your videos on PR.. we can’t wait to go in May & you gave us tons to check out!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION ... ONE DAY I DO A TRIP .

This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for all of the information. I am planning on taking my wife there for her birthday.

Thank you! Will be there with a group of 10 and you helped me out a great deal.

Thanks for visiting PR. If you want to find cheap breakfast or meals, you can buy them at any bakerys or caffeteria.

Thank you for sharing, very informative! I plan to visit on December; haven't been since I was 9! I'm excited!

Great suggestion on the offline map. Thanks!

Yeah if you stay in the tourist areas expect to pay more for food just like every other tourist area Normaly a breakfast in a panaderia {bakery} can get a plate of scrambled eggs w/ ham, toast and a coffe for about $5 and about the same for lunch plate of rice, bean, meat , plantains and a can of soda for about $6-$7

Loved your videos! I am going to PR on Saturday for 10 days. And I can’t wait!

Big shout out to thank you Chris and Carol for the island insights. Well be using your PR "Trip Tips" during our visit🐓🐟🌴

Its not expensive if you compare it to other tropical destinations...like Hawaii or Bora Bora. PR is just as beautiful.

This is so helpful. Thank you

Yo vivo en Puerto Rico(PR)🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷.I live in Puerto Rico

Awesome... wonderful place. Great work.

Hey if you want cheap places to eat we have a lot of those places but not in the turist areas even there you can find one. one more thing puerto rico have more to see, 78 munisipal territories and all of them have something to see and visit. We have places like rivers, local liquor store call chinchorros with local fried food, beer and other things, waterfalls, lakes, lighthouses, in toro verde forest (green bull forest) we have 3 mega sip lines one more bigger than the other, In one word a lot. Hope visit us again and have a diferent experience.

I'm Puertorican and have lived all my life in my beautiful island (I'm 53). It's just a fact that tourism here is expensive. But I also have to point out that there's much more to see and do here in comparison to other Caribbean islands. And all within the reach of a few hours from San Juan, so you can make a round trip the same day to any place or decide to stay overnight in any area if want to explore more. Welcome!

Very informative video. I plan to go visit soon and now I have a lot of great suggestions from the video🤗

Very nice informative video. The best way to travel around Puerto Rico cheaper its to go during the low season(outside the Winter season) ,make local friends online and when you get there they can take you to the coolest places(some places are very secret and only locals know) we go to for free or cheap, we also know the way around To skip paying to enter some beaches 😉..also to best way to get to know the island its to circle the island and spend the night in a motel(a place you park your car inside a garage and you open the door and you inside your room) you pay for 8 hours and some are fancier than others. Although some people use these places for "quickie" lol but some use them just to rest for the night and continue driving when they wake up. Then when you finish circling the island you can explore the center of the island using the panoramic route, a network of small highways that take you from east to west or viceversa and you can drive through some of the tallest mountains in the island and see some amazing views. Also the southeastern part of puerto rico its the least travelled by tourist but its amazing and very tropical. Also as an update they started in Puerto Rico the largest road upgrades in decades and they are going to be covering all the main highways around the island and many of the secondary ones as well So may be if you come back it will be a smoother ride driving. lol 👍😂😉

Your content for old San Juan area is fantastic! My wife and I are booked on a Royal Caribbean cruise for mid January 2020 and by no means are cruise vacation cheap. So anyway we can save money on shore excursion is a plus and your channel is just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately, our ship is scheduled to dock at 3pm, which is unusual when in past cruises we docked at 7am. That said, this time around, we can't take advantage of your recommendation to spend a day at CULEBRA - PARADISE IN PUERTO RICO (PLAYA FLAMENCO). However, we plan to use your Puerto Rico vlogs for future visits because we cruise the Caribbean every other year and Puerto Rico is always be in the itinerary. Going forward, "Jumping Places" will be part of my vacation planner. Great content for budget mined vacationer and look forward to more tips in your future travels....Thx ✌

Just ask someone who lives there if you can stay with them for a month, tell them you'll make it worthwhile..they certainly won't mind plus you can learn a lot of spanish this way.

very helpful information. Thank you.

Renting a car in San Juan, It was almost double. If you land in Aguadilla it would be better. Only issue the flights land real late at night. Cheaper cost for Car rental and AirBNB.

You have too go to little Cilebrita island . Take a water taxi. There H2O nice speed boat ride a 30min. A beautiful beach there call Turtle beach. You miss that island on this video.

I'm guessing you were newlyweds then, that's why you keep referencing your wife so much. I'm a newlywed now too and my husband introduces me as his wife all the time with so much pride 🥰 🙌🏼

sick video we went to puerto rico last year and loved it

Depending where you're staying, in San Juan, Santurce, Condado metropólitan area, public transportation is the cheapest way to get around IN the metropolitan area. Less than $2 for a bus with AC. And you get to see some details of the city that you would otherwise miss by driving /paying attention to the road. And no worry about finding parking. **El tren urbano (Urban train) is also a cheap way to explore the metropolitan areas. And some of the stops are connected to bus terminals. But yea, you defenitly need a rental to get around the island.

You need to go to guavate for food if you want a place to chill. They have kareoke and all that fun stuff ...also you can try beaches in vega baja area there very nice

I'm going over spring break! This is so helpful!

Going in September with a bunch of friends! Thanks for the info

I think that the south is better Hotel was Copa Marina it was really great did visit Gillian island and Mata LA gata in parguera at night I went to the glass bottom boat did snorkeling with paradise scuba group

Thank you Chris! Very helpful 🌟

Great videos! Another location to check out and get immersed into the PR culture is GUAVATE. Located on South 52 about 30 min south of San Juan. Weekends are the best were you can experience live bands, dancing, and whole pigs on a spit.

His girl is so pretty damn!!

Great video. Very informative. Do they have alot of food stands for cheap foods? Will be going there in a few weeks.

It’s just like being in the Dominican Republic. It’s tropical, and weather takes effect. That’s why potholes mainly happen

You definitely need to explore the island with people that know...It has lots of food places with fair prices. Some roads have potholes, you had to use the highways. PR also has fast food places everywhere even in the malls which are cheap.

You missed RINCON BEACH & LIGHTHOUSE

@Jumping Places Great Videos saw your video on Placencia Belize & subscribed & heading to P.R. Monday & found the videos you did.. Great Job how long were you there to cover the areas you did?

Great travel video man!! Very useful!! 💪😁

awesome video ty

Idk what is “cheap or expensive” but when i went for my first time i honestly thought it was VERY affordable, theres A LOT of cheap places and my wife that’s originally from there took me to a lot of places and we didn’t spend a lot. Now obviously it depends where you go etc but PR is NOT an expensive place. Went with 1,000 dollars and came back with 400 in my pocket now do the math.

Beautiful place

You the man all that you said was true

Thank you so much, super helpful

great info. thanks mate.

Yay my beautiful Isalnd 🇵🇷❤️

I am very sorry about gozaladia. Because there's like 30 Places like that scattered. It's basically locals hidden gems. What i mean Is San Sebastián Is a bith. You could have gone to charco azul or 2 other ones in Caguas. 20 minute from San Juan.

I saw all the videos from PR Love it!!! Also which Camera you have? because is amazing all the underwater shot.

You are and amazing cuople , God Bless !!

I just went to paint a mural in Aguada,PR & I will be moving back in June 😁🇵🇷 check out the video

Very informative

Love all your vlogs

Im going soon, taking my acoustic n jamming some rock n country, first thing i wanna do is feel out a few locals and do none of the touristy crap, hopefully a fellow musician will see me lounging beach side jamming, ehhh im sure of that haha

I rethink about staying or doing a y reservation in San Juan, you can go near and pay less. Also be friends with locals so the y can give you tips. Puerto Rico si my hometown and locals stayed away from touristic areas.

In puerto rican to San Juan Cayey ponse...🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💪

Love it 😍 thanks for the information, I’m planning on going with my boyfriend for my birthday 🎂😄 ... how many days u stay in PR? And what was the total cost if you don’t my asking, I wanna have an idea 💡. We really want to go 😩 thanks 🙏
