6 days in San Juan Itinerary

Founded by the Spanish in 1521, San Juan is the oldest city under U.S.

Step off the beaten path and head to Palomino Island and Icacos Island. Change things up with these side-trips from San Juan: Cueva del Indio (in Arecibo), Horseback Riding Tours (in Utuado) and El Yunque National Forest (El Yunque Rain Forest & Yokahu Observation Tower). There's still lots to do: stroll the grounds of Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Catedral Metropolitana Basilica de San Juan Bautista, add some adventure to your tour with a kayaking and canoeing tour, and make a trip to Fortaleza Street.
