Lecture: Puerto Rico, the Island of Enchantment with the Zuckermans

Jan9

Puerto Rico has been nicknamed the Island of Enchantment. Join us for this presentation, and you will understand why. First, we will delve into the history of this U.S. Commonwealth. Then we will examine the rich culture of the Island, including customs, foods, and drinks. Finally, we will explore the myriad of attractions and activities, the vast geographic diversity, and natural features that make Puerto Rico a unique and special place. Some of these include: the only rainforest in the U.S., a manatee sanctuary, the second-largest cave system in the world, areas where wild horses run free, a monkey research center, and many more. You will come away from this presentation with a new understanding and appreciation of Puerto Rico, the Island of Enchantment.
