My favorite part of Puerto Rico is all the fun and exiting things there is to experience. If I had to choose one of my favorite sceneries it would be watching the sunset on their beaches. Another exiting part of researching Puerto Rico was learning all about the history and events that took place. Living in Arizona we have amazing sunsets aswell but not the same sceneries. Arizona also does not have a ton of exiting places to go except the Grand Canyon and other big places.
