During the tour, we will explore the colonial quarters of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, founded by the Spanish conquistadors in 1521.
Old San Juan is not only the oldest city in the United States but one of the two oldest European cities in Latin America. Old San Juan has preserved its historical identity and architectural integrity.
See the historical allure of this city through the eyes of Sir Francis - Drake, whose attempt to wrestle San Juan from the Spanish crown cost him dearly, as you visit fine examples of the military architecture of those times.
Today’s urban legends, modern folklore, and a lively discussion of Puerto Rico’s ambiguous political status will help you connect past with presents and emerge from the tour with a new understanding of this unique Caribbean island and its people.
