SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Luis Rivera-Marin, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC), today invited summer and fall travelers to see how "Puerto Rico Does It Better" with a free adventure promotion.  The offer, a first for the Island, seeks to entice visitors to experience Puerto Rico outside of their hotels with some of the best and most unique adventures and attractions the destination has to offer – from colonial fortresses to adrenaline-pumping thrills.  Here's how tourists can do Puerto Rico for free:

The Offer
Book a minimum four nights' stay with participating hotels and choose a free experience from a wide variety such as the following:

• Kayak in one of only six bioluminescent bays in the world (and Puerto Rico is home to three)

• Catamaran tour
• Old San Juan (or Caguas) city tour
• ToroVerde Adventure Park (including the world's highest zipline: The Beast)

The Fine Print
The offer needs to be booked by September 16, 2012, for travel before November 16, 2012, and will be combined with select promotional offers at participating hotels.  Different tours will be available at different properties and are subject to change, so travelers will need to contact their hotel in advance to confirm availability.  Minimum stay is four nights; limit of one tour voucher per person and two per group.
