Puerto Rico is known for being an easy-to-reach travel destination. Not only is it a Commonwealth of the United States, making it easy for U.S. and Canadian citizens to enter, it is also home to a major airline hub and one of the world's largest naturally protected harbors. These factors help plenty of tourists pass through its borders each year.

Airline travel is almost always the fastest and most efficient form of transportation to Puerto Rico. Because of the main International Airport's status as an American Airlines hub, many travelers to the Caribbean and South America must pass through this island before reaching their final destination. Puerto Rico even offers cross-island and inter-island hopping on smaller services and charter jets. Smaller airports can be found throughout the island.

Cruise passengers also travel to and from Puerto Rico daily. Though it is a popular cruise port for ships leaving from Florida, visitors shouldn't neglect the idea of taking a cruise that begins and ends in Puerto Rico. If sailing on a ship that resembles a resort hotel isn't for you, consider chartering your own boat and sailing to and around Puerto Rico.

No matter which travel option you choose, one thing is clear: Reaching the island of Puerto Rico can be as easy as enjoying the rest of your vacation.
