WHAT YOU VISIT
San Cristobal Fortress
Sitting at the entrance to Old San Juan, Castillo de San Cristóbal was one of the largest defenses ever built in the Americas. Projecting 150 feet above water, its intricate modular design was intended to intimidate invaders. Built between 1634 and 1771, this strategic masterpiece is now a UNESCO World Heritage and National Historic Site.
El Yunque National Rainforest
Sprawled over a vast 28,000 acres, the forest is home to 240 species of trees, 50 species of ferns and 20 different varieties of beautiful wild orchids. Capture the beauty of this natural treasure with a climb up the Observation Tower, which is elevated 1,575 feet above sea level. From the deck you'll have spectacular views from the coast to picture-perfect El Yunque Peak. And you may witness the famous tree frogs launching into the air from the forest canopy.

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.
