About San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan is the capital city and most populous municipality in Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory, and insular area of the United States. The Taíno people were the original inhabitants of the area before the arrival of the Europeans to the island of Puerto Rico in 1493. As the capital and most populous municipality of Puerto Rico, San Juan is a culturally vibrant city influenced by the heterogenous origins of Puerto Rican culture. (Wikipedia)
