Things To Do
Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián (SanSe)
One of Puerto Rico's most significant festivals, Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián is the event that celebrates the end of the Christmas season. It’s a multi-day event that is celebrated during the third weekend of January, where the streets of Old San Juan become one big party, with art, live music, dance performances, and parades. During the day, more than 300 artists and artisans gather in the main squares to present and sell their handmade pieces. At night, people dance and drink the night away down the streets of Old San Juan.
El Morro
The Castillo San Felipe del Morro (more commonly known as El Morro) and Castillo San Cristóbal are two important citadels built by the Spanish to protect the city, both by sea and land. Discover the city walls, tunnels, and dungeons, explore the garitas (sentry boxes), and marvel at the original cannons that these forts still hold.
El Yunque National Forest
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System but it is also a sacred place in Puerto Rican culture. Many believe its name comes from the Taíno word Yuke, or "white earth," a reference to the clouds that gather around the forest's mountainous peak. El Yunque offers many activities such as bathing in natural pools beneath waterfalls and taking in the gorgeous scenery from its many hiking trails.
Condado Beach
One of San Juan's main beaches that offers everything from swimming and stand-up paddleboarding to jet-skiing, diving, and snorkeling. Also consider El Escambrón, and Ocean Park Beach!
Casa BACARDÍ
