About Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island and an unincorporated U.S. territory. Its culture is a vibrant blend of Taíno, Spanish, African, and American influences. Although Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, the island is predominantly Spanish-speaking, with English as a co-official language.
The economy was once one of the most dynamic in the Caribbean but has faced significant challenges. Key industries include pharmaceuticals, electronics, and tourism, attracted by its sandy beaches and tropical climate. Per capita income is roughly two-thirds that of the U.S. mainland.
The capital, San Juan, is a major urban center with a historic colonial section, Old San Juan, known for its cobblestone streets and colorful buildings. The family is a central pillar of society, with close-knit bonds and strong community values being highly emphasized.
