The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an unincorporated island territory of the United States of America, located in north-eastern Caribbean Sea. It has a total area of 9,104 sq. km (3,515 sq mi). The territory consists of the main island, and a series of smaller islands, mostly off it’s eastern coastline.
Volcanic in origin, the big rectangular shaped island is mountainous through its heart. As observed on the physical map of Puerto Rico above, the most significant mountain range “Cordillera Central” contains Puerto Rico’s highest point, Cerro de Punta at 1,339m ( 4,393 ft).
The coastal areas, north and south are mostly lowlands, fronted by hundreds of miles of sandy beaches. Rocky cliffs stretch across parts of the northern coastline, and in the north, Puerto Rico’s so called (karst region) contains small caves, caverns, rainforests, sinkholes, waterfalls and underground rivers.
A dozen (rather small) man-made lakes are scattered about, and more than 50 rivers drain the island. The Puerto Rico Trench, some 70 miles directly to the north, is the largest and the deepest trench in the Atlantic Ocean at 8,400m (27,600ft).
