5 Tours to Take in Puerto Rico — From Horseback Rides and Rainforest Hikes to Food Tours

"I explored historic Old San Juan beginning at Fort El Morro, a fortress built to protect the island, and wandered along cobblestone streets whose stones were originally ship ballast before becoming roads; the guide highlighted the city's colorful Spanish colonial architecture and filming locations used in movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean," led us to Calle San Sebastián for nightlife and bars, stopped at the spot where the piña colada was invented in 1963, and offered stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and San Juan Bay." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
