About Borinquen: Puerto Rico
Borinquen is a beautiful, bilingual (English & Spanish) guide to Puerto Rico — part interactive encyclopedia, part travel companion. Whether you're planning a trip, reconnecting with your roots, or simply curious about La Isla del Encanto, everything is one tap away. EXPLORE SEVEN WAYS • History — five centuries, year by year: politics, weather, economy, culture and sports, each with sources. • Culture — the island's story across seven eras, from Taíno roots to today. • Cuisine — 200+ classic dishes, every one with a full recipe. • Music — from bomba and plena to salsa and reggaetón. • Locations — beaches, tourist spots, historic sites, museums, nature, restaurants, shops and more. Browse by town, with hours and one-tap Apple Maps directions. • Map — all 78 municipios drawn out; tap a pueblo to see everything located there. • Vacation Planner (free) — a day-by-day itinerary with a trip budget, a packing checklist built from your plans, trip notes for tickets & bookings (photograph them instead of typing!), favorites, and one-tap export to Apple Calendar. • Reviews — read fellow travelers' takes on any place, and add your own with photos and star ratings. PLAN WITH AI Tell the built-in planner where you're staying and what you like, and it builds a personalized, day-by-day itinerary from real places across the island. BILINGUAL, EVERYWHERE Switch between English and Spanish anytime with a single tap. Every entry is written in both languages. MADE WITH CARE Facts are written originally and sourced. Photos are Public Domain or Creative Commons, shown with credit. No ads. No tracking. Borinquen — La Isla del Encanto, in your pocket.

What’s new
Version 2.5 · Updated September 24, 2026
Time Travel. • A new tile on the home screen with two maps on a slider. Drag the year and watch the island change from 1480 to today: the 78 pueblos appear the year each was founded and split off from the towns they were carved from, forts and lighthouses and dams rise from scaffold to finished, the industries of each era arrive in their regions, the railroad and the highways draw themselves in, hurricanes cross in their year, and the flags change. Tap a town or a landmark for its story. • Where We Went: the diaspora from 1898 to today. Every state and country with a Puerto Rican community, shaded and numbered year by year, with the flows from the island animated at the pace people actually moved. From the 1900 Hawaii expeditions to María. • Visit a Pueblo: all 78 municipios in one list under Things to Do, each opening its own page — flag, founding year, where the name came from, its fiestas and what to do there. • The Vacation Planner opens on a new Places tab that shows how a trip gets filled: browse Things to Do, tap the heart to save a place, then give it a day on your calendar.
