So there you have it. Puerto Rico and Jamaica are 500 miles apart, which is close enough for a spontaneous weekend and far enough to feel like two different worlds. Next time you’re swapping travel stories with a friend, you can casually drop, “Oh, they’re just a two-hour flight apart.” Watch their eyebrows rise.
And if you ever get the chance to bounce between them, take it. Because in the span of a song or two, you can trade the Blue Mountains for the Camuy River, exchange irie vibes for pa’ fuera energy. Now go book that ticket—or at least smile knowing that paradise is closer than you thought.
