Your adventure begins in San Juan, where you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to your boutique hotel in the heart of Old San Juan. As dusk falls, take an evening stroll through its cobblestone lanes, pastel houses and ornate balconies. Dinner tonight introduces you to Puerto Rico’s dynamic multicultural cuisine.
The next day, explore San Juan’s storied past with a private guide. Visit El Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal, the centuries-old fortresses that guard the city’s edges, and pause in shaded plazas where local artisans display their work. As evening approaches, sip a rum cocktail on your hotel’s rooftop terrace, the Atlantic glimmering in the distance.
Venture beyond the city on day three into El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Here, trails weave between giant ferns and hidden waterfalls. Swim in natural pools, enjoy a picnic surrounded by birdsong, and breathe in the fresh, earthy air before returning to the coast for a relaxed evening.
