What budget for activities and outings Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico has about sixty museums throughout the country. All of them offer free access to their permanent collections.

Puerto Rico offers the possibility of many activities, on the sea side and lagoons or on the mountain side, there is a lot to do; it is necessary to count an average of 70 US$ per person for an excursion. All the beaches in Puerto Rico are public, so there is no shortage of places to go for a swim. Among the free activities, in Old San Juan, runners can enjoy the quiet of the city in the early morning and walk a few kilometers along the malecón (the waterfront) and on the Paseo del Morro, the path that goes around the old town, to the Punta del Morro. A good plan also for walkers. Surfers can easily rent a surfboard and get into the water at Playa del Escambrón in San Juan

Salsa dancers will be able to enjoy themselves every night from 7pm on La Placita, in San Juan; every Friday night from 7pm onwards in the public square of Isabela, among others, and of course in many dancing bars in San Juan (Aguardiente, Taberna Los Vázquez, La Factoría, El Boricua, La Terraza de Bonanza, La Respuesta...) and elsewhere.

What budget to eat Puerto Rico?

San Juan is the place for gourmet pleasures at all prices. Bars, kiosks, popular restaurants or good restaurants: the neighborhood has the widest range of proposals to eat both local and at all prices. Smaller budgets will be able to satisfy themselves without resorting to fast food. From breakfast to dinner, from a gourmet break to a quick snack, you can indulge in the Puerto Rican way of eating at any time. Outside of San Juan, you'll find kiosks in all the coastal towns (Luquillo has about 60 family-owned kiosk businesses of all kinds!) and good restaurants here and there. Considering the prices of many establishments (10 US$ for a sandwich or 3 US$ for a coffee), kiosks are often the most economical solution for impromptu snacks. You will find coffees for 1.50 US$, soups or empanadas for 3 US$ and pastries for the same price

What is the budget for accommodation Puerto Rico?

As far as accommodation is concerned, Puerto Rico's profile is rather at the top of the range. Let's just say that it is often difficult to find a hotel for less than 50 US$ per night per person. From 100 US$ per night for a double room, the offer becomes more complete. Puerto Rico offers a wide range of accommodations. From the seaside campsite to the 3 star hotel, from the luxurious villa rented by the week to the resort for the masses, it is possible to find everything. Note that some establishments are "adults only".
Budget travelers can choose camping or one of the few youth hostels found in the most touristy areas. Guesthouses require a greater, but not excessive, financial effort, and some have a unit of beds in dormitories (mixed or not), allowing you to stay at a lower cost

Another solution is to take a flight+hotel package with a travel agency that offers attractive rates, although this formula is not very common, at least in French agencies. Finally, some hotels, still rare, offer an all-inclusive package. You should also keep an eye on the regular offers that they can make, often between 3 and 7 nights. In Puerto Rico, hotel rates are often subject to a municipal hotel tax of between 7 and 9%

Travel budget Puerto Rico and cost of living

With an average monthly income of just under US$1,800, it is easy to think that Puerto Ricans are living well compared to other islands in the region. However, this is not the case. As in the United States, the system hides many disparities. While gasoline, fast food and clothing may not seem expensive to European tourists, education, health care and real estate are unaffordable. In terms of tourism, this situation has direct repercussions: accommodations that meet standards will often cost much more than in France or Europe. And the prices of some restaurants will seem very high, as will the price of hotels. This is particularly true in San Juan, but you will see this throughout your travels. Of course the budgets vary according to your desires and the infrastructure you are looking for

Small budget: from 70 to 130 US$ per day. Count from 35 to 50 US$ for a night in a hostel or a camp-site; 2 meals between 12 and 20 US$, in kioskos or a local restaurant; 2 coffees at 2 US$ and a drink rarely at less than 3 US$; a bus transport from 0,75 to 2 US$. You can enjoy the beaches for free, but for transportation, you will have to rely on hitchhiking, which is not very common but not non-existent, or share your transportation by público with other people.

Average budget : from 130 to 200 US$. You will need at least 100 US$ to sleep in a 2 star hotel. You can use the remaining US$40 to have a full meal in a restaurant and pay for some drinks. You should also budget for tourist activities and entertainment. If you want to rent a car, book around US$60 per day (including taxes), you will be at the top end of the range, but be careful

Big budget: from 200 US$. In this budget, you can access three and four stars. Go to some good restaurants and rent a car. But if you want to stay close to US$ 200, you'll have to calculate too
