Puerto Rico Self-Guided Tour: Forts, Bioluminescent Bays & Jungle

Discover Puerto Rico with our self-guided tour, exploring an island where 5 centuries of Spanish colonial history meet tropical rainforest, bioluminescent bays, and golden Caribbean beaches. Begin in Old San Juan — one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas — where the fortresses of El Morro and San Cristóbal have guarded the harbour since the 16th century. Walk the pastel facades of Calle del Cristo, peer through the gates of La Fortaleza — the oldest executive mansion in the Western Hemisphere — and step inside the second-oldest cathedral in the Americas. Beyond the capital, hike El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System, where waterfalls and the coquí tree frog create an enchanting wilderness. Relax on the palm-fringed sands of Luquillo Beach, kayak through Fajardo's lagoon, and explore the ornate Parque de Bombas in Ponce. From the Bacardí Distillery to the limestone window of Cueva Ventana, this tour reveals the diversity of the Island.
