Freebie Friday: Free Adventures in Puerto Rico This Fall

How's this for a nice deal? You book four nights at a lovely hotel, one that you'd pick anyway, on the Caribbean Island that is consistently the cheapest to reach from the mainland USA. And in thanks, the government of that country gifts you with a terrific adventure.

That, in a nutshell, is Puerto Rico's current "We Do Adventure Better" promotion. Here are the details:

• Travelers must book before October 31 and travel before November 16.
• They must stay a minimum of four nights at such genuinely stellar hotels as the historic El Convento or the beachfront El Conquistador Resort. Altogether 25 properties, in different price ranges, are taking part in the promotion.
• Among the activities offered free to participants are zip-lining on the tallest course in the world (ToroVerde Adventure Park), a kayak tour through a bioluminesent bay, a round of golf on one of the island's 24 world-class courses, and a bike tour through Old San Juan.

If you haven't been to Puerto Rico, this is an excellent opportunity to see its highlights for less. It truly is one of the stand-out islands of the Caribbean. Not only can Americans visit it without a passport, but it has a wide, wide variety of sights and activities, from the ones listed above to El Yunque rainforest, historic forts, fabulous spelunking, vibrant nightlife and of course, powder-soft beaches.
