Don your glad rags and shimmy with the professionals at a salsa dance lesson before savour lip-smacking roast pork at a roadside lechonera. Learn the secrets of the island’s favourite tipple at its “cathedral of rum” - the Bacardi distillery – and you’ll find tasty piña coladas at every turn. Head to the Puerto Rican cost to enjoy a magical night swim in a bioluminescent bay, watch leatherback sea turtles as they lay their eggs on pristine sands or walk along the pristine Playa Flamenco.
