Our Story
Roam Puerto Rico started as a passion project in 2020, born from the frustration of seeing the same tourist recommendations over and over again. We knew there was so much more to our island than the typical guides showed.
As locals who grew up exploring every corner of Puerto Rico—from the bioluminescent bays of Vieques to the hidden waterfalls in the mountains—we wanted to share the Puerto Rico that we know and love.
Today, Roam Puerto Rico has grown into a community of over 100,000 social media roamers and our exclusive newsletter, “La Cuadra,” connects hundreds of Puerto Rico enthusiasts every week with insider tips, local news, and exclusive experiences.
Whether you’re planning your first visit or you’re a boricua looking to rediscover your own backyard, we’re here to help you experience the real Puerto Rico.
