La Vuelta is the premier cycling vacation for serious endurance athletes. In three days, a fast-paced group of 600 riders covers a 375-mile course that encircles the entire island of Puerto Rico. The route passes through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, including the lush foothills of the tropical rain forest, serene coconut plantations, exotic beaches, world-class marinas and 43 glittering coastal towns.
For many, riding La Vuelta is like being part of a professional stage race. Police escorts and rolling roadblocks keep the international peloton moving through streets filled with cheering spectators. Motorcycles carrying photographers capture the drama as it unfolds, and a caravan of support vehicles is always present and at the ready.
Unlike a stage race, La Vuelta features rest stops throughout the day where riders can relax and take in the breathtaking scenery while enjoying local cuisine and Caribbean hospitality before climbing back on their bikes for more pedal-pounding pleasure.
