Jesse & Adriana
Things To Do
Castillo San Felipe del Morro
Great historic spot; Jesse: "Can be difficult to find parking (might be easier to take an uber to visit)" Adriana: "There are about 4 - 5 parking garages, just depends on how much you'd like to walk"
Balneario del Escambrón
If you'd like to go to the beach and are staying in the San Juan area and don't feel like traveling much "El Escambron" could be the place to go. There is a parking lot available with a small fee of $5.00 for the whole day. Recommendation: Bring your own snack and drinks. Sometimes there are some kiosks open (not every day) but they can charge pretty hefty due to it being more of a touristy beach.
Toro Verde Adventure Park
A little fact about the place: Toro Verde holds the record for some of the longest ziplines in the world, You can catch a glimpse of Jimmy Fallon trying them out at the link below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-A2Nv9fvaY
El Yunque National Forest
If you're driving, GPS the address to the following destination: El Portal Visitor Center, PR-191 Río Grande, PR 00745, for an exact route. El Yunque is one of the must-visit places in Puerto Rico, with lots of different activities to do, from hiking, camping, glamping, and swimming in different waterfalls, etc. All family-friendly.
Cañon de Tanama
Rappelling, Caves, Caverns, Waterfalls, History, Culture and Family Experiences.
Flamenco Beach
Flamenco is one of the top beaches to visit in Puerto Rico, but do take note that in order to get there you would have to take a ferry from Ceiba to Culebra. The ferries get packed pretty easily, so it's always best to get on the earliest trip which leaves at 5 am. Culebra is a little island off to the east side of Puerto Rico and has everything from hotels, restaurants, car rentals, and more.
100% HP
Authentic Puertorrican food but make it vegan! Delicious place to go try out, even Jesse loves it! Side note, might be tricky to find parking.
Frescura Vegan Kitchen
Another amazing vegan restaurant and one of Adriana's favorites. A hidden gem, located on more of an "industrial/working" part of the city in Bayamón.
Kaiju Noodle Bar 怪獣ヌードルバー
Feeling like you want to enjoy some extremely delicious ramen and experience some of Puerto Rico's nightlife? Kaiju is definitely a must. It has a top-notch menu with some of the most delicious cocktails to have around. One little detail, it is not a kid-friendly place, and they are open from 6 pm to 12 am. Appointments are recommended, and walk-ins are accepted but may take a while to get a seat.
Lechonera El Rancho Original
"La lechonera original" is part of "La Ruta del Lechon"; a route filled with fully authentic Puerto Rican food, some night live music, and great scenery in the rural areas of the island. A great culinary experience to have.
