Situated between the islands of the Dominican Republic and the US Virgin Islands, on the Caribbean Sea is the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Cia.gov., 2022). An unincorporated territory of the USA, it is an archipelago of many islands characterized by undulating terrain and rich biodiversity. The territory has a population of almost 3.2 million people, which has been shaped as a result of colonization processes, European settlements, slavery, and migration (Elliott et al, 2021). Therefore, it has a culturally enriched tradition and history that contribute to the development of the territory's art, architecture, literature, and heritage. The residents are considered American citizens and enjoy all American rights except those of voting at the national level.
