Step back in time and enter the city through the historic La Puerta de San Juan, the last remaining of the six gates that once served as entrances through the old town’s protective walls. Observe the thickness of the wall as you pass through the gate, and witness the beautiful, romantic town open up before you. Try a refreshing "piragua," a popular local drink, from one of the street vendors, and stroll the cobbled streets, observing beautiful architecture of this World Heritage Site.

Historical site of old San Juan that keeps great stories within its walls. Awesome walkway along the coast. Takes you from downtown old San Juan into the back side of the del morro. You can see many cats, iguanas and lizards along your walk.

The entrance to old San Juan! Now apart of a trail that skirts the western edge of the city, awesome way to enter Castillo San Felipe del Morro. Lots of cats, iguanas and colorful spiders. Great views of the bay.
