Thank you for the event information. Definitely helps for people who are planning to visit Puerto Rico this month. I’m looking forward to the main event St. John the Baptist Festival. I am sure beaches will be crazy busy! As we all know, San Juan has the most popular beaches in the Caribbean and one of the largest rain forests to cater to all types of tourists!
