San Juan, Puerto Rico

Historic San Juan offers a wealth of sights and activities. The old city was founded in the early part of the 16th century and features stunning ocean views from the battlements of two well preserved fortress operated by the US National Parks Service. Lots of interesting architecture with an 'old world' feel, museums, galleries, and shops. Take a tour of the Bacardi factory just across the bay from the old city. Beaches and rain forest are nearby.
