5 days in San Juan Itinerary

Founded by the Spanish in 1521, San Juan is the oldest city under U.S. jurisdiction and one of the oldest in the Americas.

Step off the beaten path and head to Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery and Playa Mar Chiquita. Get in touch with nature at Cascada La Mina (La Mina Falls) and Playa Ocean Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Zipline (in Rio Grande), Caribbean Trading Company Store (in Palmer) and Balneario Luquillo (in Luquillo). There's still lots to do: see what you can catch with a fishing tour, get the adrenaline pumping with Oceania Watersports, enjoy the sand and surf at Carolina Beach, and pause for some serene contemplation at Parroquia Sagrado Corazon de Jesus.
