Puerto Rico has many traditions one of them being the three kings day. The three kings day is a kind of like Christmas but instead of a tree and "Santa" its "three wise men(the three kings)"and a box of hay under the bed where the gifts go. Some traditional clothes people wear in Puerto Rico are called a jibaro and a bomba and they usually have bright vibrant colors.

There are many things to do in Puerto Rico like going to the beach(300+ beaches), going kayaking in bioluminescent bays, taking a hike, seeing water falls in a rain forest, and the #1 tourist attraction in Puerto Rico El Morro that has a lot of history and an amazing view of the Atlantic ocean. If I went to Puerto Rico I would go to the beach for jet skiing and banana boats. Then I would go to the red mango cafe to try red mango.

My favorite parts of Puerto Rico is the music, sports, and food. I like the music because I grew up with my mom playing it in the house and car. I like the sports because they are my favorites out of all sports(except golf, surfing ,and fishing). I also like the clean water that is because I was born in Florida and went to the Beach a lot its good for swiming and vacation ingeneral. The Peurto Rican food is in my opinion amazing since my grandma makes it when I go to her house. Overall I Like every part of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican culture and I hope to visit it one day.
