Puerto Rico By GPS
Hi, I'm Orlando Mergal. Puerto Rico By GPS is a travel blog and YouTube channel designed for 45+ English-speaking travelers who prefer to explore Puerto Rico on their own. We help independent adventurers discover the island’s hidden gems—without schedules, tour guides, or crowds—guided only by their GPS.
Here you'll find GPS-self-guided tours, Puerto Rico travel tips, and insider info to help you discover the island on your own terms. Visit hidden beaches, local towns, lush waterfalls, and Spanish forts. Walk the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan. Hike through El Yunque National Forest and explore secret caves—all at your own pace.
I'm a lifelong Puerto Rico resident. I created this channel to help you uncover the island’s best-kept secrets, confidently and without stress.
If you're a U.S. citizen, you don’t even need a passport. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory—it's easier to visit than you think.

Do you care at all about the information included in our videos? I ask because I see videos with no voice, no music and no music (just a person driving around town) and they get a lot more views. Am I missing something here? Should I just shut up and drive?

Three months ago I published a video titled: “10 Most Dangerous Beaches in Puerto Rico” (https://youtu.be/V9Rg2Zd1_kA). I immediately started getting hate mail saying that I was wrong. Well, here it is. Twenty-one dead so far, and many in the same beaches mentioned in my video. Any questions?

INFO: https://youtu.be/V9Rg2Zd1_kA
Three months ago I published this video about the “10 Most Dangerous Beaches In Puerto Rico”. Yesterday several swimmers drowned at some of those same beaches. In fact, one of them did exactly what I advised against and now he's no longer with us. I rest my case!!!
