Viejo San Juan

We went here for our second date. We encourage you to wander through the cobblestone streets, visit historic forts like El Morro and San Cristóbal, and admire colorful colonial architecture.

El Yunque National Forest

The only rainforest within the U.S. National Forest System receives an annual fluvial precipitation of almost 400 billion liters of rain. Its waterfalls, orchids, giant ferns, imposing tabonuco trees, and palms make it a true paradise for the photographer and nature lover. On El Yunque's main road, visitors will find La Coca waterfall and Yokahú Tower, an observation spot that looks over the rainforest's lush green vegetation and on to the east coast of the island. Stop by the rainforest's visitors center, El Portalito Hub, and ask for a map of the forest and pointers on what trail to explore.

Isla Verde Beach

As you soak in the sun and surf, don't miss the chance to experience the breathtaking Isla Verde Beach. With its powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters, it's the perfect spot to unwind and create lasting memories. Whether you're lounging under a palm tree, taking a dip in the ocean, or trying out thrilling water sports, Isla Verde Beach offers something for everyone.

Condado Beach

While you're here, make sure to visit Condado Beach, a true gem of our city. With its soft golden sands and vibrant atmosphere, it's the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the Caribbean sunshine. Take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, dip your toes in the azure waters, or simply unwind with a refreshing cocktail while soaking up the stunning ocean views.

La Placita de Santurce

La Placita de Santurce is a must stop for anyone visiting Puerto Rico. The location was founded more than 100 years ago as a two-tiered market square. Nowadays, during the day it functions as a market place with some open restaurants. In the evening, beginning at 6:00 pm, the famous Placita de Santurce fully comes to life. You'll find recognized restaurants and local kiosks that sell fried foods like empanadillas, alcapurrias, and bacalaítos. The atmosphere is livelier from Thursday through Sunday, when locals flock here to hang out, have drinks, and dance salsa.

Catedral de San Juan

Old San Juan's venerated cathedral is Puerto Rico's grandest religious building, and one of its most important. It's also the second oldest church in the Western Hemisphere, and the oldest church on U.S. soil. The history of the church dates to 1521 and the earliest beginnings of the Spanish colonization of the island. The building you see today wasn't the original church, which was demolished by a hurricane. The current structure dates to 1540.

Barrachina

The surrounding beauty of a colonial building over two centuries old with an interior courtyard and magnificent tropical foliage is the birthplace and home of the world-famous piña colada, where don Ramon Portas Mingot, first made the famous drink in 1963.

Castillo San Felipe del Morro

A representative landmark of Puerto Rico’s colonial legacy, the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, or El Morro for short, is an impressive citadel that sits at the very top of Old San Juan. Its construction began in 1539 and concluded around 1790; during those 250 years, the castle became a six-level fortress designed to protect the island from attackers approaching by sea. The bastion – integrated by barracks, dungeons, and storerooms – still holds some of the original cannons facing the ocean.

Chocobar Cortes

Chocobar Cortés, an innovative gastronomic space where chocolate is incorporated into almost every dish and beverage. The space also celebrates the rich history of Chocolate Cortés, a family-owned company that has been manufacturing chocolate from farm-to-bar since 1929, and is a favorite of Puerto Rican and Dominican households.

Calle Loíza

Calle Loíza is an emblematic area in the heart of Santurce. The neighborhood is a creative and musical space, rich in culture and history. It is no accident that many great artists like Ismael Rivera grew up in these streets! In recent years, Calle Loíza has become a trendy spot where new businesses are flourishing, making it a popular place for people to hang out. The area is filled with local restaurants, bars, and boutiques.

La Factoria

The very moment you enter the doors you can feel that La Factoría is not your ordinary bar. The unmarked location is full of secret passages that lead to six bars, each curated with a different ambiance and drink menu. Whether you seek to enjoy craft cocktails, dance the night away to live music, or simply relax in good company, they got you.

The Mezzanine

You'll find this charming cocktail bar on the second floor of a historic building in Old San Juan. Go up the stairs in the front, and walk into the perfect Old San Juan spot. Grab a small table in one of the balconies, order your favorite cocktail, and enjoy the Caribbean breeze.
