If you don't have plans yet, or the rain forecasts for this weekend look as bad as they sound, don't worry. Here are 10 activities to make the most of the weekend.
Activities in case it pours
It's time for some friendly family competition, and Cupey Bowling & Entertainment Center is the place to bring kids, teens, and adults for a good time.
If singing isn't your thing, don't worry, because they say the rain this weekend is a sure thing. So relax and enjoy a night out with your crew singing karaoke in one of the private rooms at Arena Medalla. The Karaoke Rooms can be reserved through Open Table.
El Bloque, the only climbing gym in Puerto Rico, is a great way to avoid the rain this weekend without giving up on entertainment. This local operation offers classes, training sessions, courses, and climbing excursions to help you become a pro. And if climbing isn't your thing, don't worry. They also have a yoga studio where you can relax and take classes.
Restaurants and bars
The perfect spot to spend the afternoon chatting. Hiedra has a variety of house and classic cocktails, as well as a selection of tasty tapas. If you ask us what our favorite thing about the place is, we'd say it's how pet-friendly the owners are.
If you're looking for a road trip, El Cepo Restaurante Mirador gives you the perfect excuse to head to the center of the island and make your way to Lares. There you can enjoy comida criolla while taking in a sweeping view of la Cordillera. Don't forget to make a reservation!
#PlateaTip: Make the most of your day and keep exploring this municipality with our route through Lares.
For foodies in the mood for Mexican, we recommend stopping by La Mordida this weekend. With a vibrant, colorful atmosphere, this Mexican taqueria is one of our favorite spots in Caguas.
#PlateaTip: Head up to the rooftop and enjoy the sunset over some tacos and margaritas. Our recommendation: the Birria tacos.
Places for the whole family
Break out of the routine and take your crew to play paintball. At Carolina Paintball Field you can rent all the equipment you need to spend the day playing and shooting paint. On Saturdays and Sundays they have deals for the 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. session, and they recommend reserving ahead to guarantee equipment availability. Remember to wear long pants, a long-sleeve shirt or jacket, and closed-toe shoes.
El Faro de Arecibo is a must if you're visiting the town known as Villa del Capitán Correa. Located next to La Poza del Obispo, Arecibo Lighthouse & Historical Park offers five cultural representations of Puerto Rico's history throughout the monument. The lighthouse itself contains original marine artifacts, and visitors can also take in the impressive view it offers.
Beaches, sun, and sand (if it doesn't rain 🤞)
They say it's going to rain this weekend, but you have faith it won't be that bad and you still want to go to the beach. If so, El Combate is the perfect beach. Combate is one of those beaches that lends itself to much more than sitting in the sand and soaking up the sun. You can enjoy the crystal-clear water, kayak, snorkel, or paddleboard.
#PlateaTip: If a little rain does fall, you can head over to the kiosks and restaurants close to the shore.
Maybe a road trip to the mountains isn't what you're feeling. If you want a beach but not one that's too crowded, we recommend playa Jaboncillo, in Guánica. Most tourists are drawn to the neighboring beaches, like playa Caña Gorda and playa La Jungla.
#PlateaTip: If you've made it to Guánica, enjoy the road trip and check out one of these 9 activities nearby to make the most of the trip.
Rain or shine, this weekend is meant to be enjoyed!
We believe that with the right attitude you can have a good time anywhere, so gather your friends or family and make the most of that extra day.
