Airport to Rincon Driving Times
The drive to Rincon is generally a two and half hour drive from the San Juan International Airport (Luis Munoz International Airport | SJU) and a thirty minute drive from the Aguada International Airport (Rafael Hernandez Airport | BQN). There is also a very small airport located in Mayaguez that is only about a 15 minute drive from Rincon Pueblo. For the most part, this airport caters to small puddle jumper flights from other cities in Puerto Rico as well as some of the surrounding Caribbean Islands. Cape Air is an airline with a fleet of 6 seater’s that fly around the Caribbean and the Nantucket area. One way flights from San Juan to Mayaguez usually rund around $70. Way cheaper than taking a Publico Taxi for up to two people…but be forewarned, No Surfboards allowed on these small planes!!!
Get Driving Directions to Rincon
As Puerto Rico would be the most populated state in the United States (if it were actually a state), be sure to avoid rush hour driving times or plan your arrival with a roadside break comprised of Pinchos and Medalla. If you’re here, it’s time to kick it island style (go to the stands with the most people, an empty pincho stand is never a good sign).
