Business hours

Businesses are open 8am to 5pm, but there are certainly no hard-and-fast rules. Shops are usually open 9am or 10am to 5pm or 6pm (often until 9pm in shopping malls and on Friday evening), except on Sunday, when hours are 11am to 5pm (often later in malls).

Post offices are open 8am to 4pm or 5:30pm weekdays, and some are open 8am to 1pm Saturday.

Banks are usually open 8am to 5pm on weekdays (in some areas such as Ponce, they close at 2:30pm), and 9:45am to noon on Saturday.

Teach English abroad with an i-to-i TEFL Course

If you’ve ever thought about living and working abroad, then why not teach English as a foreign language (TEFL)? It could be the key to funding your travels and experiencing new cultures in a totally new way. You don’t need teaching experience or even the ability to speak the local language – although you might learn it while you’re out there.
