Flight Summary

There are no scheduled flights to Arecibo, but you should be able to find regular connecting flights to San Juan, either via various cities in the USA (most commonly New York), or via Madrid with Iberia. The drive from San Juan airport to Arecibo takes just over an hour - but be prepared for some very hairy locals! Once you get away from the freeway, you can enjoy some of Puerto Rico's dramatic volcanic landscapes. /Caribbean/Puerto-Rico/San-Juan/Munoz/

Destination Summary

Arecibo might be larger in area than Puerto Rico's capital San Juan, but the city is perhaps best known to the outside world for the massive Arecibo Observatory. This huge dish was used to send the 'Arecibo message' into space in 1974. Although this was largely a demonstration, rather than a serious attempt to find extra-terrestrial life, Arecibo has acted as a backdrop for numerous works on the small and large screen, including the 1997 film Contact, and the closing scenes of the Bond thriller Goldeneye.
