Visit Puerto Rico From the Couch With Lin-Manuel Miranda

While travel is out of the question now, Puerto Rico offers potential travelers the opportunity to take a virtual trip to the island with a famed guide: Lin-Manuel Miranda.

This week, Discover Puerto Rico released a new 8-part island guide called Discover Puerto Rico with Lin Manuel. This short video series follows the Puerto Rican actor, playwright and composer traveling to his favorite places on the island.

After watching the video, you can visit Old San Juan, see coffee farms in the central region, and visit La Placita de Güisín, a public art mosaic that perpetuates the legacy of Lin-Manuel’s paternal grandfather in Vega Alta.

Most videos are 5 minutes in length or less, so you can use them as a short break rather than a full-fledged event.

Discover Puerto Rico is also hosting a culinary demo tonight with chef Juliana Gonzalez from Caña Restaurant in San Juan on Instagram at 7 p.m. ET.

All of this obviously does not replace a trip on your own, but it is a way to get to know the island from the comfort of your couch at home.

And if you want to take a virtual trip, but want to visit a place other than Puerto Rico, we have collected several other similar opportunities that you can experience from home .
