interests in the new world.
I wont give too much away, but I will say this, the spectacular
views of the Atlantic ocean and San Juan Bay, will blow you away. A truly visual extravaganza.
Also included in this experience, we will stroll down Calle Sol,
a street where we will appreciate the architecture and rich culture shaped the Puerto Rican identity.
Will also explore the life and times of our first governor, Juan Ponce De Leon. A man with a complicated legacy.
This a unscripted, educational, entertaining and above all,
a FUN offering.
This is a ‘Free Walking Tour”, however, access to the castles is unfortunately not. Park Service operates and maintains the fortifications. That being said , admission is $10.00 and is to be paid at the gate.
Did I say its gonna be fun. you bet I did.
