Fortress - El Morro Cathedral de San Juan Bautista - The second oldest church in the Americas. Ponce de Leon buried there. Old San Juan - wander around and get lost in the old colonial city El Yunque Rainforest - the only tropical rainforest in the United States, featuring hiking, swimming holes, natural infinity pools.
