That means, there is no need for you to exchange currency. Debit and credit cards also work just fine in this country so you can expect your travel to be smooth going.

Be aware of purchasing souvenir items. 

A lot of travellers want to purchase souvenirs for themselves or as gifts for their loved ones. But be careful of some souvenir items as some of them are not really authentic. You need to look for a reputable store where you can purchase your items. Some Puerto Rican goods that you can bring and will totally remind you of Puerto Rico are butterfly crafts and the Mundillo which is a bobbin lace in Puerto Rico.
