8 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.

Get outdoors at Playa Luquillo and Cascada La Mina (La Mina Falls). Step off the beaten path and head to Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista and Playa Ocean Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near San Juan: El Yunque National Forest (Yokahu Observation Tower & Catarata La Coca), Luquillo (Monserrate Beach & Balneario Luquillo) and Cueva del Indio (in Arecibo). There's lots more to do: head off the coast to Isla Palominos, add some adventure to your tour with a kayaking and canoeing tour, make a trip to La Puerta de San Juan, and enjoy the sand and surf at Carolina Beach.
