Unless you are pregnant, planning to be pregnant,or want to get someone pregnant, then don't go anywhere where there are lots of mosquitos or Zika. If not, go for it. Even if you do get the virus (we are sure our kid did), it's mild. No major fever or aches or anything. Most people who have it don't even know they have it, it's so mild. So they walk around normally not suspecting anything. If you are the rare few that reacts to it, you get a rash, red eyes, low fever for three days and thence it's gone. Take acetaminophen. That's all you can do. Not like Dengue or Chikunguya virus. Those are miserable. I've had them all.
Op requested a Zika free location and you just recommended the absolute worst place to travel for Zika. Really. It's a huge huge problem in PR.
