7 of the Best Movies Filmed In Puerto Rico

Hollywood has been using Puerto Rico as a thousand places at once. A Caribbean island becomes Cuba, Nigeria, Brazil, the past, the future, and even a secret villain’s headquarters — while many viewers never realize the scenery comes from the same place. Behind the explosions, superheroes, pirates, and spy missions is an island with landscapes powerful enough to disappear into any story. These films left behind a different kind of map, one where familiar scenes reveal a hidden Puerto Rico.
