Visions of Puerto Rico
Premiers Nationwide on PBS Monday, August 7, 2006 at 8 PM!
(check pbs.org for local airdates and times)
New York, NY--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--VISIONS OF PUERTO RICO offers viewers a visit in paradise from the timeless plazas of Old San Juan around the island and back again, using the lighthouses at the four corners of the island as transition points. The first Caribbean destination in the popular VISIONS series features aerial and ground footage shot in high definition with the latest technology; informative narration about the island’s rich history, architecture and lush natural beauty; and a soundtrack of local favorites including the omnipresent chirp of the tiny coqui frog. Rita Moreno narrates.
For an island barely 35 miles wide by 100 miles long there is more natural diversity than anyone would believe, and VISIONS OF PUERTO RICO makes the ultimate tour possible, showcasing all of Puerto Rico’s many facets – whether up close with the vibrant dancers on the last day of Carnaval in Ponce, scaling the heights of Cerro Puntas, gliding over the placid beauty of small mountain towns and west coast beaches, wondering at the modern glamour of hotel resorts, casinos and golf courses in the Condado district, or taking in the breathtaking sights of the lush El Yunque rainforest, from the powerful waterfalls to the view from the summit that has not changed since the original Taíno people stood on the same ground.
VISIONS OF PUERTO RICO is available on DVD with bonus material including Spanish language narration by Miriam Colón through PBS stations, wliw.org - "pledge online" banner, or by calling 1.800.767.2121.
