Bilingual Island Encyclopedia
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
1,187 sourced moments of Puerto Rican history, a passport for all 78 pueblos, 200+ recipes, beaches, music and an AI trip planner. Bilingual, always.
Borinquen is a beautiful, bilingual (English & Spanish) guide to Puerto Rico — part interactive encyclopedia, part travel companion. Whether you're planning a trip, reconnecting with your roots, or simply curious about La Isla del Encanto, everything is one tap away.
EXPLORE SEVEN WAYS
• History — five centuries, year by year: politics, weather, economy, culture and sports, each with sources.
• Culture — the island's story across seven eras, from Taíno roots to today.
• Cuisine — 200+ classic dishes, every one with a full recipe.
• Music — from bomba and plena to salsa and reggaetón.
• Locations — beaches, tourist spots, historic sites, museums, nature, restaurants, shops and more. Browse by town, with hours and one-tap Apple Maps directions.
• Map — all 78 municipios drawn out; tap a pueblo to see everything located there.
• Vacation Planner (free) — a day-by-day itinerary with a trip budget, a packing checklist built from your plans, trip notes for tickets & bookings (photograph them instead of typing!), favorites, and one-tap export to Apple Calendar.
• Reviews — read fellow travelers' takes on any place, and add your own with photos and star ratings.
PLAN WITH AI
Tell the built-in planner where you're staying and what you like, and it builds a personalized, day-by-day itinerary from real places across the island.
BILINGUAL, EVERYWHERE
Switch between English and Spanish anytime with a single tap. Every entry is written in both languages.
MADE WITH CARE
Facts are written originally and sourced. Photos are Public Domain or Creative Commons, shown with credit. No ads. No tracking.
Borinquen — La Isla del Encanto, in your pocket.
Puerto Rico's story, told properly.
• History, rebuilt — every one of our 1,187 events is now a real account with names, numbers and sources, not a single line. Nearly 400 years covered, and 436 events that were never here before.
• See where the storms hit — all 14 hurricanes now draw their true path across the island, from NOAA's own records, with the damage they left behind.
• Meet the island's wildlife — the coquí, the flamboyán and dozens more, now with photographs.
• Every pueblo flies its flag — all 78, everywhere you browse by town.
• Watch us on YouTube — our documentary series on the island's history, straight from the app.
• Political parties now carry their own colors.
