Planning a Trip

Getting There & Getting Around -- American Eagle (tel. 433-7300 in U.S. or Canada, or 787/791-5050) flies from San Juan to Mayagüez, the nearest airport, four times daily (flying time: 40 min.).

Taxis meet planes arriving from San Juan. Because the taxis are unmetered, you should negotiate the fare with your driver at the outset.

There are branches of Avis (tel. 787/833-7070), Budget (tel. 787/832-4570), and Hertz (tel. 787/832-3314) at the Mayagüez airport.

If you're driving from San Juan, either travel west on Route 2 (trip time: 2 hr.) or travel south on scenic Route 52 (trip time: 3 1/2 hr.).

Visitor Information -- There is no tourist-information office in Rincón. Inquire in San Juan before heading here.
