Whether you're a first time visitor or seasoned traveler, a guided sightseeing tour that showcases the city's highlights may be the best way to get acquainted with this centuries-old city. Your day begins with a memorable drive past historical landmarks such as the Capitol Building and historic Old San Juan en route to the San Cristobal Fortress. Here, you'll disembark for a self-guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage and National Historic Site. Back on the coach, you'll travel from to New San Juan with panoramic views of the Condado District. Then, you'll visit El Yunque National Rainforest, the only tropical rainforest in the United States territory. Capture the beauty of this natural treasure with a climb up the 1,575-foot high Observation Tower. From the deck you'll have spectacular views from the coast to picture-perfect El Yunque Peak. Photos taken, you'll return to the ship or stop in downtown for shopping.

Special Notes:

Due to walking required at the fort, the activity level is substantial. The fort is not wheelchair accessible. There is a steep ramp to access the fort (about 65 paces one way). The first level features the barracks, gun rooms, and video presentation. The next level requires walking up another steep ramp (about 35 paces one way). Accessing the third level observation ports (for the best views of the city) requires going up another steep ramp (about 65 paces one way). Watch for low passageways and uneven, steep, and slippery surfaces. Use care on the stairs and ramps. Good sturdy footwear will make your visit safer and more pleasant.
