Visions® of Puerto Rico

VISIONS® OF PUERTO RICO offers television viewers a visit in paradise from the timeless plazas of Old San Juan around the island and back again, using the lighthouses at the four corners of the island as transition points. The latest addition to the popular VISIONS® series features aerial and ground footage shot in high definition with the latest technology; informative narration about the island’s rich history, architecture and lush natural beauty; and a soundtrack of local favorites including the omnipresent chirp of the tiny coqui frog. Rita Moreno narrates.

For an island barely 35 miles wide by 100 miles long there is more natural diversity than anyone would believe, and VISIONS® OF PUERTO RICO makes the ultimate tour possible, showcasing all of Puerto Rico’s many facets ­ whether up close with the vibrant dancers on the last day of Carnaval in Ponce, scaling the heights of Cerro Puntas at 4,389 feet, gliding over the placid beauty of small mountain towns and the solitude and simplicity of the west coast beaches, or wondering at the modern glamour of hotel resorts, casinos and golf courses found in the Condado district. In the lush El Yunque rainforest, the breathtaking sights could fill an entire program of their own, from the powerful waterfalls to the view from the summit that time has not changed since the original Taino people stood on the same ground.
