Puerto Rico is probably my favorite place that I’ve ever been! Beautiful people, amazing architecture, great food. And it’s a very welcoming place for Black people which can’t be said about everywhere sadly.
Um...most Puerto Ricans have African ancestry. I don't get where people get the idea that Latin America is "racist" towards Blacks. Whether you're in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, El Salvador, Venezuela, or Chile, one thing you'll notice is that the media does NOT obsess over race like America does. Most people are simply too mixed for that to occur. Blacks may face actual racism in countries like China, India, or Russia, but nowhere in Latin America. That being said, some people down there do tend to have contempt for those of Black African descent, but it's nothing like the type of hate you'll get in Eastern Europe or India.

There is plenty racism/light privilege in Latin America… Although mixing is common, people whom have more European features occupy the highest and most privileged socioeconomic positions….

You did exactly what every tourist should do when they come here. Learn about our culture Enjoy nature Eat local Make friends Leave with awesome memories I loved it.
This is honestly one of the best vlogs i had seen of Puerto Rico. You even went to the center of Puerto Rico, even puertorricans dont venture to the center that much. Excellent video man.
Was just there this summer for 2 straight months! Absolutely loved the culture and fell in love with the beauty of Puerto Rico!! So excited to see what videos you have in store for Puerto Rico!! Much love to Puerto Rico from California! 🇵🇷❤️🇵🇷
“Puerto Rico is almost as expensive as NY city” Bruh, San Juan is expensive, the rest of the island has some pretty good and cheap spot to drink and eat. 😂
exactly, when i saw the title i was like for 10 you can only get a cocacola can in san juan xd lol but if he goes to my town hes going to be able to buy so much stuff
@QueHubo Parcero ye lol something like that happened to me too. In one of his videos he said "text me by instagram I'll reply to every one of you" and it's been almost been 6 months but no reply to a basic travel question. But hey that can be brushed off saying he might be busy 😉
pueto rico people are wonderful, i gave 100 dollar tip to lady from here who was working at our hotel in florida, will never forget her, my son knocked his tooth out in pool and she helped him, just genuine great people
I've been living in the US for more than 20 years after finishing my military service. Nonetheless, I have never forgotten where I come from and watching this video made proud of my culture, my people and how beautiful is my homeland of Boriquen. Thanks Drew for capturing the heart and soul of our beloved island and showing the kind of people that we are. Great video brother 🙌🏾 Would love to meet you and thank you in person some day in the near future. May God bless you and keep you 🙏🏾
Friendly and genuine people, vibrant culture, beautiful island 😍 My dad is from Puerto Rico, but I was born and raised in Hawaii. I can’t wait to visit Puerto Rico and learn more about the island!!
Watching your friend show you his grandparents home up in the hill, reminded me of my grandmas house where I grew up 🥲 the sound of the coquis is everything 😍😌
My husband is Puerto Rican. I had been to the island once before I met him and hated it; as a New Yorker I felt like I had seen it all before uptown. Nothing special. Being with him and meeting his family here and there definitely changed my mind. It's a beautiful island with great people. I enjoyed this video!

Thinking about Puerto Rico makes me sad because of the hurricanes and it seems like there are less and less good reasons to be there. The population decreased by over 500,000 people from 2010-2020. I just want it to be a great, wonderful place, without all the problems.

Wow wow Drew I’m very emotional I’m so happy you have got to experience a piece of our beautiful little island I took my girlfriend for the first time back in February it was my my first time in 15 years back home it was very emotional I shed some tears watching this video thanks for everything you do and you’re such a inspiration to many people including me to go out and travel the world.
Heyy, I am puertorican and I am very happy that you visited Puerto Rico and my hometown Jayuya🇵🇷🏝. We are very proud of our culture and there are beautiful places here. I hope you come back! 💕
Yo im from Jayuya i'm so happy that you came here. Fun fact in the 1950's there was a revolution for independence and if you walk all over town there are plaques that tell the story.
Greetings. Good to see you here! Everyone is welcome. Since we were little, our parents teach us to love Puerto Rico. We are very proud but friendly people. We like parties, music and dancing. Any occasion is good to celebrate.
Thank you Drew for visiting our lovely island! About Jayuya, It is very popular for its Indigenous Festival held in November during La Semana de la Puertorriquenidad (The Week of Puerto Rican Culture). Thousands of Puerto Ricans attend the festival every year. During the festival which lasts three days, a beauty pageant is held where the contestants are dressed in Taino dresses with fabulous headdresses. Other activities include, three gigantic tents filled with artisans selling and exhibiting their products, concerts with local artists and musicians, and food stands and foodtrucks with different types of Puerto Rican cuisine. That is when the usually sleepy city comes alive with traffic and the noises of the festival.
❤I truly love this video man. My wife’s family is from there and I love visiting and experiencing all the amazing things the island has to offer . 🇵🇷❤️☝️
It was a pleasure to show Drew my country, and even more knowing it brought you joy. Send me a message if you ever visit--I'd love to show you around! ~ Andrew Ferenczi Colón
Bro, this is one of my favorite videos on your channel! I lived in PR when I was a kid and haven't returned for more than a few days at a time since then. I can fully understand how challenging it is to capture the essence due to the USA's mantle over their way of life. Cheers!
I went to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 almost to the day last year. It’s beautiful!! The ppl the food the whole vibe. Seriously, I fucking love Puerto Rico!!! I wish the USA would just let them be there own country.
We the real boricuas belive on that but mainland make look like they give us free stuff and hand outs.i been living in the states for the past 19 years cuz the goverment is so corrupted there i left just in time
Excellent video Drew! I love seeing the good and the hospitality the island has to offer. Andrew was an awesome guide into giving you an informative crash tour of Puerto Rico 101. 🇵🇷 I encourage everyone to visit the island for themselves, help out the local economy and have a great time while doing so creating memories.
I've been all over Puerto Rico and I absolutely love it, my husband and I go every year and they do have a decent amount of coffee shops but what's funny is that Ice coffee is so hard to find out there. I love my Ice coffee and I can never find it when I'm there.
I love seeing my beautiful island in videos.. It's wonderful to see how tourists like you visit us! Me encanta ver mi isla hermosa en vídeos, es asombroso ver que turistas como tu nos visitan!
Thank you for coming! But you missed so many places! :( Piñones, Ponce, La Parguera, Cabo Rojo light house, El Yunque, Culebra and more. I hope you comeback. God bless you.
@@benchoflemons398 still there are extra costs because anything that goes to Puerto Rico must touch mainland US. It’s because of US laws everything is so expensive there.
Yes. Dark blue flag is for statehood supporters. Royal blue flag for Colony supporters. Sky Blue Flag (the original) is associated with Independence supporters.
I was watching this video with my family, and when we got to 17:20, he starts talking about the history of the Colon family. My family and I go to Puerto Rico very often because we have a dog rescue, so we know a lot of the locals very well. When my dad heard the name “Colon” he paused it and told us to wait. Apparently, we take dogs from this guys mom! She’s a full time lawyer in San Juan but she runs an animal rescue in Jayuya. That was really mind blowing to see. Small island, I guess!
Really enjoyed this and looking to visit Old San Juan in a few weeks. Definitely will be on a budget so this is super helpful. Bucket list: coconut water, pina colada and coffee! Thanks.
Thanks for visiting PR. There’s so much more to explore here than what people think. Amazing rivers, caves, more beaches, restaurants, more historic towns, in conclusion PR has a lot to offer to the world, not just reggaeton or baseball players. Next time you’re here, drop by the west side again, we will love to take you to the rivers up in the mountains, Gozalandia, El Salto de Curet and many more.
@@joehinds29988 The country have a governor, every decision the president make in the US he also makes it in Puerto Rico remember that this island is part of the United States.
One of the best videos about Puerto Rico; showing the many perspectives of our culture and status quo. I did not want it to end. Loved it! P.S. Andrew was the best!
Muchas gracias, Debbie! Solo pude estar con Drew 3 días así que imposible hacerle justicia a nuestra isla y su gente. Me alegra que aprobaste de nuestro esfuerzo 😊 ~ Andrew Ferenczi Colón
First off I'm so happy it's not all San Juan... Jayuya has great festivals dedicated to Tomato and Coffee and lots of people from the island go and visit while they are going on but it's definitively not a tourist attraction and that's why I love the fact it was included. Rincón is another culture another world it dose have a more American feel or a California feel as it was mentioned but anytime you go to the north west you can expect some rain between 1pm and 3pm if visiting get there in the morning but don't leave before sunset sin the most beautiful sunsets can bee seen from the Lighthouse in Rincon. It is the surfing capital but Aguadilla and Isabella also have great surfing spots. BTW you should come in a second time flights are not expensive and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that would take you in and help with your project.
Honestly, anyone who visits Puerto Rico should do what Drew did, go to the mountains and the other places of the island. The west, south and east side of PR is so different from the capital.
I learned English and I also talk Spanish because I was born in Spanish that’s obvious but I learned English in the school which really helped me to understand everybody who is talking English right now
Ive been a month and a half to PR. Im still on depression, my heart is still there! 🥰 People are chill, amazing, life loving people! They are positive, always smiling and just dance. I miss that place, I want to be there, stay there and die there... ❤️😍🥰🏝
Just finished my trip to Puerto Rico last week and it was really fun and beautiful. Totally recommend everyone to take a trip there whenever y’all can!
😎 I love all your videos and this one is one of your best. You portrayed my island and the people beautifully. Thanks, so much. Please let me point out a little mistake on this one, at 1:39 min you mention Roberto Clemente ( to all of us in Puerto Rico, he is the best major league baseball player 🤹♂️ ever) but the image that you used was from Jackie Robinson. Aside from this detail, this one is perfect. Thanks again

Puertoricans are part African. I myself did not understand racism until i moved to the states and experienced it first hand.

I love the video that you made from Puerto Rico and showing the world how beautiful the island is. Thanks..
Yo im from Jayuya i'm so happy that you came here. Fun fact in the 1950's there was a revolution for independence and if you walk all over town there are plaques that tell the story.
watching Drew Binsky videos bring so much happiness
Thank you so much!
Greetings. Good to see you here! Everyone is welcome.
Since we were little, our parents teach us to love Puerto Rico. We are very proud but friendly people. We like parties, music and dancing. Any occasion is good to celebrate.
Thank you Drew for visiting our lovely island! About Jayuya, It is very popular for its Indigenous Festival held in November during La Semana de la Puertorriquenidad (The Week of Puerto Rican Culture). Thousands of Puerto Ricans attend the festival every year. During the festival which lasts three days, a beauty pageant is held where the contestants are dressed in Taino dresses with fabulous headdresses. Other activities include, three gigantic tents filled with artisans selling and exhibiting their products, concerts with local artists and musicians, and food stands and foodtrucks with different types of Puerto Rican cuisine. That is when the usually sleepy city comes alive with traffic and the noises of the festival.
❤I truly love this video man. My wife’s family is from there and I love visiting and experiencing all the amazing things the island has to offer . 🇵🇷❤️☝️
Man the dude showing him around looks so happy to show off his homeland its people like this that make me so happy to watch
It was a pleasure to show Drew my country, and even more knowing it brought you joy. Send me a message if you ever visit--I'd love to show you around!

Bro, this is one of my favorite videos on your channel! I lived in PR when I was a kid and haven't returned for more than a few days at a time since then. I can fully understand how challenging it is to capture the essence due to the USA's mantle over their way of life. Cheers!
I went to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 almost to the day last year. It’s beautiful!! The ppl the food the whole vibe. Seriously, I fucking love Puerto Rico!!! I wish the USA would just let them be there own country.
We the real boricuas belive on that but mainland make look like they give us free stuff and hand outs.i been living in the states for the past 19 years cuz the goverment is so corrupted there i left just in time
I think Puerto Rico should get statehood instead
I want independence!
Excellent video Drew! I love seeing the good and the hospitality the island has to offer. Andrew was an awesome guide into giving you an informative crash tour of Puerto Rico 101. 🇵🇷
I encourage everyone to visit the island for themselves, help out the local economy and have a great time while doing so creating memories.
I've been all over Puerto Rico and I absolutely love it, my husband and I go every year and they do have a decent amount of coffee shops but what's funny is that Ice coffee is so hard to find out there. I love my Ice coffee and I can never find it when I'm there.
in the west side of the island there is a place called "Cafelados coffee shop" you will find a lot of coffee mix .. you will love it.

I love seeing my beautiful island in videos.. It's wonderful to see how tourists like you visit us!
Me encanta ver mi isla hermosa en vídeos, es asombroso ver que turistas como tu nos visitan!
From your neighbors 🇩🇴 we love you Puerto Rico
We love you guys too, from PR🇵🇷💞
los queremos tambien (de un adolescente puertorriqueño❤)
Puerto Rican myself and I've been waiting so long for you to make a video about Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Drew it was nice meeting you on the streets in Manhattan
Lin Manuel Miranda, Ricky Martin, JLo, Marc Anthony, Rita Moreno, Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Menudo Despacito, Roberto Clemente, Roberto Alomar, Pudge Rodriquez, JJ Barea, Salsa, Reggaeton, Gerardo Rivera...and more...all Puerto Rican and boricua.
Jose Ferrer. First latino PR to receive an oscar.
I’m from Humacao! South east of San Juan, Much love Drew glad you visited us! 🤟🏽
Thank you for coming! But you missed so many places! :( Piñones, Ponce, La Parguera, Cabo Rojo light house, El Yunque, Culebra and more. I hope you comeback. God bless you.
Mi isla! Extraño mucho la isla! Puerto Rico se levanta y saludos desde New Haven, Connecticut 🇵🇷
I was raised in PR for 19 years, so nice to see you visit this beautiful island.
Staying in Old San Juan and chilling on the rooftop was an awesome experience I had a couple years ago.
I would pay to have him as my tour guide in beautiful Puerto Rico
Send me a message if you're ever in town. It would be my pleasure to show you around--on the house, of course!

Everything is expensive there because any thing imported there must go through mainland US and is highly taxed
@@benchoflemons398 still there are extra costs because anything that goes to Puerto Rico must touch mainland US. It’s because of US laws everything is so expensive there.
@@benchoflemons398 we do pay a little tax for shipment from the US to PR. Is called the cabotaje law
Everything is expensive on the east side close to the capital further away to the west shits cheap
@@xlibshua because is more local. Local producs don't need to pay cabotaje tax
Más el Ivu 💀
Drew- Thanks for showing the world my beatiful Island of PR. ¡ God bless you!
I didn't know how the two different blues had different messages.
Yes they have! Puerto Rico is beautiful! Puerto Rican speaking 💖
Yes. Dark blue flag is for statehood supporters. Royal blue flag for Colony supporters. Sky Blue Flag (the original) is associated with Independence supporters.
@@judopr interesting !!!
@@judopr yep it's more of three blue's not only 2
the flag is supposed to have the sky blue color
I was watching this video with my family, and when we got to 17:20, he starts talking about the history of the Colon family. My family and I go to Puerto Rico very often because we have a dog rescue, so we know a lot of the locals very well. When my dad heard the name “Colon” he paused it and told us to wait. Apparently, we take dogs from this guys mom! She’s a full time lawyer in San Juan but she runs an animal rescue in Jayuya. That was really mind blowing to see. Small island, I guess!
Really enjoyed this and looking to visit Old San Juan in a few weeks. Definitely will be on a budget so this is super helpful. Bucket list: coconut water, pina colada and coffee! Thanks.
Well they all go nice with a bit of puertorican rum. cheers!
@@mogomio I had all three while visiting. The best coffee in the world I think. Brought some back too!
Thanks for visiting PR. There’s so much more to explore here than what people think. Amazing rivers, caves, more beaches, restaurants, more historic towns, in conclusion PR has a lot to offer to the world, not just reggaeton or baseball players. Next time you’re here, drop by the west side again, we will love to take you to the rivers up in the mountains, Gozalandia, El Salto de Curet and many more.
Wow Drew!!!
You on 2.76M subscribers
Last year this time you were just over a million
Congrats man!
I really enjoyed this video. I think of Puerto Rico much the same way I imagine Hawaii. A very beautiful culture to be loved and shared.
*This was the video that I wanted to see I'm glad you enjoy the things from my country man... btw I am Boricua 🇵🇷*
@@joehinds29988 The country have a governor, every decision the president make in the US he also makes it in Puerto Rico remember that this island is part of the United States.
@@joehinds29988 no hay presidente aquí, solamente gobernador
Si si hable español es que no c Inglés xd
One of the best videos about Puerto Rico; showing the many perspectives of our culture and status quo. I did not want it to end. Loved it! P.S. Andrew was the best!
Muchas gracias, Debbie! Solo pude estar con Drew 3 días así que imposible hacerle justicia a nuestra isla y su gente. Me alegra que aprobaste de nuestro esfuerzo 😊
~ Andrew Ferenczi Colón
Thanks drew for your videos cheers from Pamplona,spain
i didnt notice that so many people love puerto rican music until i went to finland i could hear so much puerto rican music and other stuff
First off I'm so happy it's not all San Juan... Jayuya has great festivals dedicated to Tomato and Coffee and lots of people from the island go and visit while they are going on but it's definitively not a tourist attraction and that's why I love the fact it was included. Rincón is another culture another world it dose have a more American feel or a California feel as it was mentioned but anytime you go to the north west you can expect some rain between 1pm and 3pm if visiting get there in the morning but don't leave before sunset sin the most beautiful sunsets can bee seen from the Lighthouse in Rincon. It is the surfing capital but Aguadilla and Isabella also have great surfing spots. BTW you should come in a second time flights are not expensive and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that would take you in and help with your project.
Honestly, anyone who visits Puerto Rico should do what Drew did, go to the mountains and the other places of the island. The west, south and east side of PR is so different from the capital.
I'm from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and I just got this in my recommendations. Keep up the good work! I'm also a TH-camr.
As a Puerto Rican, what's your opinion on Independence vs Statehood question??
Thank you for visiting our island. Next time you should visit loíza, PR amazing culture
20:56 brave of you to show the footage of you standing on the curb so you don’t look too short. Real king energy
😂😂😂
You're so respectful and kind to everyone you meet. You're an inspiration mate xx
@@joehinds29988 neither...British :)
Welcome to PUerto Rico🙌🙌‼️. Hoping to see around Cabo Rojo, my beautiful hometown! I’m really a fan of your videos.
I learned English and I also talk Spanish because I was born in Spanish that’s obvious but I learned English in the school which really helped me to understand everybody who is talking English right now
Finally in PR!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU ANDREW! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU+ALL YOU GUYS DO!
I am Puerto Rican and since it’s not a country I didn’t think you would go to it and make videos!! Thank you for coming!! 🇵🇷
Now that he’s out of countries to visit, I think he’s gonna start going to territories and places like that.
@pjuliio hello
Probably
Hi
@@pjuliio are you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
glad to see people investing their time at our beautiful island 🇵🇷🧡🫶🏾
Ive been a month and a half to PR. Im still on depression, my heart is still there! 🥰 People are chill, amazing, life loving people! They are positive, always smiling and just dance. I miss that place, I want to be there, stay there and die there... ❤️😍🥰🏝
Thanks for coming to our island, I always wanted to meet you
why is your island so overpopulated?
I’m not gonna lie, when Andrew raised the flag in the backyard of his family home and sang it brought a tear to my eye.
When they say their people are beautiful and smart… Oh boy, the guy from 11:56 🔥
Just finished my trip to Puerto Rico last week and it was really fun and beautiful. Totally recommend everyone to take a trip there whenever y’all can!
😎 I love all your videos and this one is one of your best. You portrayed my island and the people beautifully. Thanks, so much. Please let me point out a little mistake on this one, at 1:39 min you mention Roberto Clemente ( to all of us in Puerto Rico, he is the best major league baseball player 🤹♂️ ever) but the image that you used was from Jackie Robinson. Aside from this detail, this one is perfect. Thanks again
