Puerto Rico is known to be a Caribbean island, as well as a territory of the United States. The island consists of rain forest, mountains, and waterfalls, making it a vastly sought out tourist site.2 The name "Puerto Rico" once meant "rich port"; the island actually got it's name due to the land's plentiful amount of natural resources, particularly gold.1
