Old San Juan
The old and quaint city of San Juan, founded in 1521 is a site so rich
in history it is a place not to be missed on your vacation. It's narrow
streets are finished with authentic cobblestone. So prominent in
daylight, the monuments attain a magical quality at sunset, the
glory and splendor of the Spanish Colonial architecture enriched by
comforting darkness and shadows. The experience transports first
time visitors and residents alike to a place somewhere in the mists of
500 years of history.

Luquillo Beach
For generations families have made the trek from San Juan and all
over the eastern region for a day at Luquillo Beach. A vacation in
Puerto Rico was considered incomplete without a visit to this well-
loved place on the coast. The view from the beach is spectacular: a
long gold crescent of sand lined by countless coconut palms, with
the misty mountains of the rain forest towering in the distance.

El Yunque
More than 4000 feet high and just miles from the sea, El Yunque is the
only tropical rain forest in the US National Forest system. It offers a
wonderful drive with many exciting overlooks and photo spots to pull
off. Once at the upper parking lots, short walks are possible to view
waterfalls, diverse flora, and many picturesque settings and
expansive vistas. Longer hikes may be taken to the summits of the El
Yunque and other peaks. On longer treks, expect to spend several
hours on the trail. Hiking boots or other dependable footwear are
advised. There are no poisonous snakes or dangerous wild animals. A
new, very nice visitor center is located at the base of the park road.
It is well worth the price of admission. It offers a video presentation on
the park, access to helpful park employees, bathrooms and a nice
gift shop. The Caribbean National Forest, often called El Yunque
Rainforest, has the highest visitation of any natural site in Puerto Rico.
When you see it, you’ll easily understand why.
