Average Costs & Hours of Operation

Puerto Rico’s currency is the same currency that we use in America. Prices on many things are very much the same between Puerto Rico and the United States. All of Puerto Rico, including Fajardo, relies on tourism to make their country what it is. They have no real natural resources, so they are largely dependent on the tourism industry.

Unfortunately, this sometimes means that certain things will be more expensive than what you are used to. The hours of operation around Fajardo are mostly around the clock. Because there are so many tourists, the night life here can be quite exciting. There are plenty of businesses and restaurants that are open all night long to accommodate the tourists.
