{{fa}}Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island, the smallest of the Greater Antilles, {{convert|100|mi}} long by {{convert|35|mi}} wide.

The official language is Spanish but everyone speaks at least basic English. A nice bonus is that for duty-free purposes, trips to the mainland US qualify for purchases in the stores, and there is no limit on duty-free purchases!

This article will give you some ideas of what to do if you find yourself in that situation.
