Peurto Rico is a United States Territory. You can travel to any of the US territories the same as if you are travelling in the States themselves. You do not need to go through US Customs or immigration when flying form the states to the island, but you would if flying from outside the US directly to the island.

Yes, Puerto Rico is part of the US federation and its capital is San Juan. It is not an independent country.
Similarity can be found with the US & UK Virgin Islands; Martinique; Greenland; Guam; Hong Kong; the Falkland Islands; the Färöe Islands; Spitzbergen/Svalbard; the Galapagos Islands; & the Easter Islands; ....
There is, as in all states and provinces in the world SOME degree of self-government anyway, but generally their relationship with the motherland's military, diplomatic, central bank, legal and tax systems is more than that of an independent country. Some of the leaders are locally elected, others are appointed by the motherland.
