Puerto Rico stands as a mix of cultures, with combined influences from Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Puerto Rico

Where to Intern in Puerto Rico

Rectangular in shape, this fascinating country is approximately 100 miles long and 35 miles wide. Located between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, it’s considered the smallest island in the Greater Antilles group of islands. From the misty mountains to the shimmery beaches, this little island packs a lot of punch when it comes to fun. Here are the best cities for interning in Puerto Rico. 

Most internships in Puerto Rico are offered in the vibrant and colorful capital city of San Juan, which is home to the busiest port for cruise ships across the globe! Located along the northeastern coast, it lies south of the Atlantic Ocean and offers a tropical climate. Here you can visit classic art museums, marvel at the Castle of San Cristóbal, and relax on beaches with azure waters. Although San Juan is the nation’s capital, and frequented by foreigners often, it still portrays the comfort of a small Puerto Rican town.

Along the Western Coastal Valley, you’ll find Rincón, or “the corner.” This surfing destination attracts surfers from around the world and boasts hotspots such as Domes, Little Malibu, Maria’s, Tres Palmas, Sandy Beach, and more, with waves reaching as high as 30 feet. You can also celebrate with the locals at one of its many festivals, such as the Whale Festival and Coconut Festival. 

Situated in the southern part of Puerto Rico on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, you’ll discover Ponce, which welcomes you with sparkling fountains and La Guancha Paseo Tablado, a restaurant-lined boardwalk. Throughout the summer, don’t miss out on the Fiesta Nacional de la Danza, the Barrio San Anton’s Bomba Festival, and the Festival Nacional de la Quenepa. The Museum of Puerto Rican Architecture also showcases its neoclassical and Art Nouveau architectural styles.
