About the Trip
This is a custom ActivSport Travel Tour created for Earlham College Track & Field Team to train, compete and experience some of Puerto Rico's most culturally rich destinations in May 2026. City tours, rainforest adventures, training and meets, and other activities as listed, are all included throughout the tour.
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean paradise island blessed with turquoise waters, sandy beaches, rainforest mountains, and a rich cultural heritage that makes it the most unique destination Americans can visit without a passport! Discover Old San Juan, a national historic zone that puts off a “Pirates of the Caribbean” feel with tree-shaded squares, monuments, and open-air cafes, as well as shops and restaurants enclosed by walls dating back to the 17th century. Hike or rappel down waterfalls in the El Yunque National Forest, the US’s only tropical rainforest. Puerto Rico combines the perfect blend of cultural history and tropical adventures for your next active vacation.
