Best Time to visit Puerto Rico

Peak Season (December-April):

Ideal weather with sunny days, low humidity, and minimal rainfall makes this the perfect time for outdoor activities. Expect higher prices, larger crowds, and vibrant holiday celebrations, especially during Christmas and the San Sebastián Street Festival.

Mid Season (May-June, November):

Shoulder months offering good value with comfortable temperatures and moderate rainfall. Fewer tourists and lower accommodation rates make this an excellent time to visit before or after the high season rush.

Off Season (July-October):

The hottest and rainiest months coinciding with hurricane season. Significantly lower prices and smaller crowds, but visitors should monitor weather forecasts and consider travel insurance. Many indoor attractions and activities remain enjoyable despite occasional afternoon showers.
