WHAT TO EXPECT

Our small group trip to Puerto Rico caters to travelers in their 20s and 30s looking for cobblestone magic in Old San Juan, rainforest thrills in El Yunque, and sun kissed Caribbean paradise as far as the eye can see.

Meet up with a crew of new friends to explore Puerto Rico's capital as you find a rare American escape from the ordinary. We'll dive into the rich history and culture of the island, getting up close and personal with centuries-old fortresses by day and vibing to the pulsating beats of bomba music by night. Then, you'll meet up with the Caribbean sun on pristine beaches, explore the lush, untouched beauty of El Yunque National Forest, and dance the night away in the colorful streets. And let’s not forget the mouth-watering local cuisine - mofongo, anyone?

This trip is about more than just sightseeing—it's about making unforgettable memories, forging new friendships, and embarking on an adventure that will ignite your wanderlust. So pack your bags, it's time for Puerto Rico living.

    Day 1 -  San Juan Welcome to San Juan

Congrats, you've made it to one of the natural wonders of the United States! Drop your bags, and get ready to dive into San Juan.

After a welcome rendezvous with the group, we'll kick things off with a welcome drink. Get to know your new travel mates over fruity cocktails or try a local rum; with a massive sugarcane crop, the island’s home to more than a few distilleries (hello, Bacardi!).

Now that we’ve said hello the right way, it’s time to get to know the fusion flavors of the island's cuisine at one of our favorite San Juan restaurants. With a menu that focuses on local dishes dating back to the 1800s, it is a historic, tasty welcome to Puerto Rico. Salud!

    Day 2  -  San Juan Cuisine and Culture

Today, we'll continue to discover Puerto Rican culture through its history, people, and food on a walking tour of Old San Juan. In a city filled with historical sites, it's only fitting that you step back in time for a few hours and discover the island's blend of Spanish, African, and Taíno influences.

Savor some of the region's exceptional food like pan de agua and quesitos . Try street food favorites like alcapurrias and bacalaítos from vendors with generations of culinary expertise. Quench your thirst with a refreshing piragua , then discover the stories and traditions that shaped the island's culinary landscape.

That night, we'll be hitting up a salsa class in oceanfront Condado to check out the pulsating Afro-Caribbean beats and learn some Puerto Rican moves of our own. After dancing the night away, grab a late night bite to eat with the crew.

    Day 3 -  El Yunque National Forest Rainfo rest Adventuring

Today we're exploring Puerto Rico's tropical El Yunque National Forest. Picture towering ancient trees, a chorus of coqui frogs, and the mist of hidden waterfalls. Our local guides will lead the way, sharing all the inside info you need on El Yunque's unique flora and fauna.

We'll head to the rainforest's secluded natural pools where you can cliff jump, float in tranquility, and marvel at paradise. We’ll no doubt work up an appetite, so after the rainforest, we'll head over to Luquillo Kiosks' 60 family-run stalls for the best to connect with the local community as you feast on tostones, pinchos, and delicious seafood along a laid-back beachfront.

The afternoon and evening are yours; siesta in hammocks or head toward local artisan shops for more Puerto Rican charm.

    Day 4 - San Juan Sun and Se a

The next 24 hours are yours for exploring in the picturesque Old San Juan area. Head to San Juan Bay and check out the beautiful beaches, grab a recliner at Condado Beach, or see how the high class live over in Isla Verde. For more adventure, check out the water sports and rent a jet ski for an hour or two.

If you're after a more local vibe, Old San Juan's narrow streets are lined with historic buildings. Hunt for souvenirs, savor the island's famous tropical ice cream, or immerse yourself in the rich culture and history. If you're up for it, head to the Santurce neighborhood to check out the city's acclaimed art scene. 

That evening, meet up with the crew at our farewell dinner. Here's to unforgettable adventures, laughter, and living life on the wild side, in true Puerto Rican style!

    Day 5 - San Juan Until Next Time!

Rise and shine, it's time to sip on that last cup of rich Puerto Rican coffee and reminisce about the epic rainforest hikes, the soul-stirring rhythms of local music, and the mouthwatering flavors of street food.

So here's to the memories, the friendships, one beautiful island, and to countless adventures that lie ahead. Until the next time, hasta la vista, adventurers!

If you're wanting to expend your time, consider checking out Cabo Rojo on Puerto Rico's west coast, heading east to Luquillo Beach, cruising to spectacular Flamenco Beach (skip the beach resort and explore on your own), or joining one of the many tours to check out the world's brightest bioluminescent bay in Vieques.

“Nothing is better for your soul than to visit Puerto Rico.”   -Lin-Manuel Miranda

Table of Contents

Places in Puerto Rico You’ve Got to Visit

1. old san juan.

Old San Juan is the capital city and a great place to begin exploring this gorgeous island. It’s great for visiting other locations in the capital with easy access to the rest of the island. This lively coastal destination has everything you imagine a spot in the Caribbean to offer. There are beautiful beaches like Isla Verde and Carolina Beach and delicious seaside restaurants. Plus, a lively nightlife beckons and there’s always something fun going on. 

This section of the city harbors a vast array of museums, colonial castles, forts, and cobblestone streets. The majority of the Old Town was built during the colonial days, providing a glimpse into the island’s history. Just strolling through the streets is like walking back in time. Castillo San Cristóbal, John Baptist Cathedral (which houses Ponce de Leon’s grave), and El Morro Fort are important historical sites in any guided tour of Old San Juan .

2. Vieques Island

For some seriously unique beach adventure, Vieques Island is the place to go. Stunning beaches with warm water, soft white sand, amazing vistas, and the relaxed ambiance of the Caribbean make Vieques a great destination. But you’re in for a surprise too, and that’s Mosquito Bay and its bioluminescent waters!

Mosquito Bay is actually the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. You can actually watch this enthralling natural spectacle at night. The best thing about it is that you can see this natural phenomenon from a glass-bottomed kayak or boat ! This makes a nighttime tour of Vieques Island a must.

3. El Yunque National Forest

This one is a must for a Puerto Rico group trip! Less than an hour from San Juan, you will find El Yunque Rainforest. It is the only tropical rainforest in the United States. Even though it is relatively small at just 29,000 acres, it’s one of the most biologically diverse ones in the entire world, with all types of animal species.

Hiking is the top activity in El Yunque National Forest . There are twenty-four miles of trails available, some even lead to natural pools you can cool off in!

The views throughout the rainforest are spectacular. Plus, you’re likely to encounter some of the flora and wildlife that have made El Yunque their home. Be on the lookout for coquí frogs, woodpeckers, and mango trees!

4. Rio Camuy Caves Park

If your group is looking for serious adventures out in nature, you’ll fall head over heels in love with Rio Camuy Caves Park. Set in the northwestern region of Puerto Rico, it is home to 10 miles of caverns and 220 caves. All of these feature lush, verdant nature and hiking trails that allow for a deeper exploration of the park.

The limestone caverns and caves belong to a huge network of underground waterways. These were naturally carved out by the Camuy river. Rio Camuy is considered the third-largest underground river in the world. Even though it has not all been explored, there’s enough evidence to suggest that the caves were actually explored hundreds of years ago and that there are plenty more to be found.

Lying on the western coast of Puerto Rico, exactly where the Caribbean and Atlantic oceans meet, Rincon is famous for its laid-back beach town vibe, great surfing, and spotting sea turtles. 

Even if you are not fond of riding the waves, there’s plenty more on Rincon’s menu of activities. Some activities include scuba diving, horseback riding, biking, paddle boarding, and just plain relaxing and enjoying the beach.

In addition to the beach and water activities, Rincon is home to an emerging art scene. You can spend a full day visiting art galleries, admiring the work of street artists, and enjoying an array of trendy restaurants and bars.

6. Culebra Island

Home to some of the best beaches in the world, Culebra Island is pretty much as close as you can get to heaven here on Earth. This means that if you’re planning an Puerto Rico group trip, you don’t want to miss it!

This dreamy tropical island boasts gorgeous white-sand beaches, an incredibly colorful coral reef lying under the waves, and countless natural areas waiting to be explored. Simply put, Culebra Island is a dream come true if you’re looking to disconnect from it all. No trip to Puerto Rico is ever really complete without stepping foot on this gem of a destination.

7. Guanica State Forest

Set on the southwestern side of Puerto Rico, Guanica houses the best-preserved dry forest in the entire Caribbean region. Home to over 700 species of plants (some of which are endemic to the forest) and over half of Puerto Rico’s birds, Guanica is a paradise for nature lovers keen to explore Puerto Rico beyond its beaches.

The forest also offers a variety of hiking trails for every difficulty level. Some of these you can follow along until you reach secluded beaches like Tamarindo Beach and Ballena Bay. 

Located on the northeastern side of Puerto Rico, Arecibo is a city much deserving of a place in your itinerary. Mainly due to its amazing and off-the-beaten-path natural wonders. Think rivers (Rio Tanama and Grande de Arecibo), pristine beaches, cliffs, caves, and even a natural limestone bridge. Everything is set amidst jaw-dropping views of the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the highlights here is Cueva Ventana, or Window Cave. This is especially true if you’re into outdoor activities combined with history. Named after the cave’s iconic window-like opening, the views it offers are as enchanting as they can get.

You can arrive at The Window by taking one of several hiking trails that lead to it. These are great for exploring the cave’s surroundings before going in. Once inside, you’ll find ancient petroglyphs, which provide a fascinating glimpse into the life of the Taino people who once inhabited the area!

Cueva del Indio is another option to see more pre-colonial artwork created before the arrival of Columbus way back in 1492. It is located right on the shore of Arecibo.

Other attractions in Arecibo are the lighthouse for panoramic vistas and the Arecibo Observatory, which harbors the biggest single-dish radio telescope in the world.

9. Desecheo National Wildlife Refuge

While actually stepping foot on Desecheo Island is completely off-limits (and actually punishable by law), the fundamental reason to visit this jewel of a place lies underwater. 

With an extensive network of ocean caves, a superb coral reef, and unbelievable marine life, Desecheo National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Puerto Rico. If you’re looking for a scuba diving adventure in Puerto Rico, this is where you need to go.

10. Piñones State Forest

Located just east of San Juan, Piñones is an awe-inspiring coastal forest that provides a perfect day spent outdoors. Especially if you’re keen to explore a more low-key place in Puerto Rico.

Home to the most extensive mangrove forest, a perfect way to explore Piñones is by taking a short walk. Follow its boardwalk, which will have you walking through the park in search of wildlife sightings (think leatherback turtles, crabs, birds, and more) and among the mangroves, seagrass meadows, salt flats, dunes, and small islets that make up its landscape.

11. Cayey and la Ruta del Lechón

If you’re the type of traveler who loves all things food (or you simply want to get a more local feel of the culinary excellence on your Puerto Rico vacation), a visit to Cayey’s Guavate and a drive down the Ruta del Lechón are musts during your visit.

Cayey is a cozy mountain town tucked away in a valley inside of the Central Mountain Range. During the weekends, Guavate, a neighborhood of Cayey, becomes a lively street party. Hoards of local and international visitors come to enjoy the main attractions including a happening food scene, live music, and incredible nightlife.

The main reason most people visit Cayey on a Puerto Rico group trip is the La Ruta del Lechón (or the Pork Highway in English). It’s a small part of one of the most scenic drives in Puerto Rico . The drive is dotted by over a mile of roadside eateries serving lechón asado . This is a unique Puerto Rican recipe of roasted pork that’s considered part of the island’s gastronomic heritage. Whether you consider yourself a foodie or not, a visit to Cayey and the alluring Ruta del Lechón is an experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world. This incredible mountain destination is a must for your Puerto Rico itinerary.

I hope this curated list of the best places for a Puerto Rico group trip has helped you plan the perfect route. While the Caribbean has many incredible destinations, these places provide a great mix of beach, culture, and outdoorsy experiences for an incredibly well-rounded visit.

Truly one of the best trips I’ve ever had. It was my first time ever doing a solo trip. Himanshu gave us an itinerary and a list of good traveling tips for Egypt months in advance. He is very organized and responsive so I never had any concerns. Everything was already taken care of. All I had to do was show up. The scenes in Egypt were breathtaking and I saw places that I never thought I’d see.

Had a great time in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Land in Salt Lake City & the rest of the trip is taken care by BLGT.. you have absolutely nothing to worry about.. logistics, campsite booking, tickets, planning is all done by them. We had a great guide with us through out the trip. Would definitely be going with BLGT in future.

The trip was to the Galapagos and it was wonderful Quito was also a beautiful City.

This was a trip of a lifetime, been wanting to do this for a long time. All planning done right and price was great can’t wait for my next trip, unfortunately I can only do one a year

Had a great experience through BLGT recently in Alaska; appreciated the trip leaders’ ability to handle logistics so you could focus on the experience and having fun. It was just like traveling with a group of friends, with the added bonus of the itinerary being all taken care of.

What travelers are saying

"I've been on 13 trips with STI and I've had a great time and met a lot of wonderful people on all of them. What I really like is the STI process for encouraging togetherness which includes (1) members meeting the day before the trip to have drinks and dinner so that when you start the trip the next day you feel comfortable with the other members, (2) a Breakfast Club for members who want to meet for breakfast, (3) Happy Hours each night before dinner, (4) eating together each night, (5) Theme nights for members , and (6) separate excursions for members. Another good feature of STI trips is the concierge who makes arrangements and schedules activities and helps to resolve any problems that occur."

• Among the many appeals of Puerto Rico, which is a self-governing territory of the United States, is its combination of the feeling of a foreign culture with the familiarity of everyday life in the U.S.  As a result, first-time visitors are immersed in a society which is rich in unfamiliar customs and traditions yet at the same time is welcoming in terms of the ease of travel.
• There is no need to take a passport or pass through customs and immigration procedures when traveling to, or back from, Puerto Rico. Everything from the money to the electric current is the same as in the 50 states. People, who consider themselves to be fellow Americans, are friendly and helpful.   
• To truly experience local life, venture away from the large hotels, major tourist sites and restaurants frequented by visitors. In San Juan and Ponce, that means exploring off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods.
• Consider renting a car and checking out less-visited destinations around the island.  The roads are good and well marked, and if you need to ask directions, it’s usually possible to find someone who speaks enough English to help you find your way.
• Consider taking at least a day trip to either or both of two small islands just off the east coast that offer a relaxing respite. The beaches on Vieques are often listed among the best in the Caribbean for their white sand and azure water. Even tinier and more laid-back Culebra is best known for world-class diving and outstanding snorkeling.

Escorted & Package Tours in Puerto Rico

Before you start your search for the lowest airfare, you might want to consider booking your flight as part of a travel package such as an escorted tour or a package tour. What you lose in adventure, you'll gain in time and money saved when you book accommodations, and maybe even food and entertainment, along with your flight.

One good source of package deals is the airlines themselves. Also consult Vacation Together (tel. 877/444-4547; www.vacationtogether.com), which allows you to search for and book packages offered by a number of tour operators and airlines. The United States Tour Operators Association 's website (www.ustoa.com) has a search engine that allows you to look for operators that offer packages to a specific destination.

Travel packages are also listed on major Internet travel sites and in the travel section of the local Sunday newspaper. Liberty Travel (tel. 888/271-1584; www.libertytravel.com), one of the biggest packagers in the Northeast, is a bigger advertiser in print and other media, but it's website typically has at least a half dozen deals to the island at any given time.

TourScan Caribbean Vacations (tel. 800/962-2080; www.tourscan.com) finds the best deals from the 10,000 vacation offers its Caribbean travel experts analyze. You can see some results online.

Food & Wine Trips

There is no organized culinary trip per se, but you could choose to visit during one of the annual food festivals such as Old San Juan SoFo Culinary Fest (in June; visit www.tastecuisine.net), when restaurants on and near South Fortaleza Street open up their doors for sampling; or Saborea (in early April; visit www.saboreapuertorico.com), a culinary party of restaurant booths and Food Network chef demos set up along Escambrón Beach.

Also see the Flavors of San Juan noshing tour in Old San Juan (tel. 787/964-2447 ; www.flavorsofsanjuan.com).

Escorted General-Interest Tours

An escorted tour is a structured group tour with a group leader. The price usually includes everything from airfare to hotel, meals, tours, admission costs, and local transportation.

Puerto Rico Tours, Condo Inter-Suite, Ste. 5M, on Isla Verde in San Juan (tel. 787/306-1540 or 787/791-5479; www.puertoricotours.com), offers specially conducted private sightseeing tours of Puerto Rico, including trips to the rainforest, Luquillo Beach, the caves of Camuy, and other attractions, such as a restored Taíno Indian village.

Backstage Partners (tel. 787/791-0099; www.backstagepartners.com) offers customized tours that take in a wide range of island attractions, including eco-tours, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling, safaris, and golf packages.

Other leading escorted tour operators include Atlantic San Juan Tours (tel. 787/644-9841; www.puertoricoexcursions.com), which helps you take in all the major sights of the island from Ponce to El Yunque; and Sunshine Tours (tel. 866/785-3636; www.puerto-rico-sunshinetours.com), which covers much the same ground as the others. Legends of Puerto Rico (tel. 787/605-9060; www.legendsofpr.com) hosts personalized tours, specializing in entertaining cultural and nature adventure tours.

More About Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is just a short plane ride from most east coast U.S. cities and is a popular destination for many reasons. For citizens of the United States, passports are not required to visit this island paradise. Additionally, Puerto Rico is a popular destination for cruise ships to make port as they sail around the Caribbean islands.

The Old San Juan district of the city is the historic colonial section and the oldest settlement in Puerto Rico. This district is a National Historic Landmark District and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Standing guard over the harbor entrance is Fort San Felipe del Morro, a towering presence that adds to the region's dramatic cliffside coastline.

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
• For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.

Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory

Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.

Top Experiences

Baseball : The sport was one of the first to gain popularity in Puerto Rico and is just as impactful today, with many major league players hailing from the island.

Beaches : From tourist-filled to secluded stretches, there is a beachfront for surfers, sunbathers, and families alike.

Cuisine : Many outside influences have contributed to the unique flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine.

El Yunque National Forest : El Yunque is a stunning rain forest with bioluminescent waters in the island's central area.

Golf : Puerto Rico has more than 20 championship golf courses on the island.

Rum : Puerto Rico is one of the largest rum-producing nations in the world. As such, it is no surprise that the island is the birthplace of the iconic Pina Colada.

Puerto Rico Group Tours for Solo Travellers

Travel solo as part of a group tour to Puerto Rico

Why Travel Solo To Puerto Rico?

A US territory with a tropical twist, Puerto Rico beckons with neon bays, sprawling Spanish forts and an energy that pulses throughout the entire island.

Stroll through 500 years of history In the capital, San Juan, where sleek skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls are juxtaposed with narrow cobblestone streets and elegant colonial buildings. Explore the only rainforest in the United States at El Yunque National Forest, and experience the breathtaking phenomenon of bioluminescence in magical Mosquito Bay. (Of the five bio bays in the world, Puerto Rico has three of them.)

Throughout the island, you’ll find sizzling cuisine infused with Spanish, African and indigenous Taino flavours, vibrant nightlife pulsing to the beats of salsa and bomba, and genuinely friendly locals who will welcome you to share their Boricua culture. Add to that sunkissed Caribbean beaches, clear turquoise water and fresh piña coladas and you’ve got yourself the perfect tropical escape – with a difference.

Top places to visit in Puerto Rico

Old san juan.

Unesco-listed for its twisting cobblestone streets, grand pastel colonial architecture & Spanish military forts dating to the 16th and 17th centuries, Old San Juan is like travelling back in time. Be sure to stop by the imposing El Morro citadel, the neoclassical San Juan Cathedral and the grand Fortaleza palace.

Mosquito Bay

Of Puerto Rico’s three bioluminescent bays, Mosquito Bay on Vieques Island is considered the brightest, thanks to its shallow depth, high temperature, low circulation and high nutrients. Kayaking, swimming or taking a boat trip across the glowing lagoon under a star-studded sky is nothing short of magical.

El Yunque National Forest

The only rainforest in the US National Forest System, El Yunque (named after the Taíno god, Yúcahu) boasts nearly 29,000 acres of lush mountainous terrain. The park is scattered with waterfalls, rivers, towering trees & bamboo groves, and crisscrossed with hiking trails opening up to spectacular ocean views.

Flamenco Beach

This mile-long horseshoe-shaped bay on Culebra Island regularly appears on ‘world’s best beaches’ lists. The arc of pristine white sand, backed by low scrub and trees, is named for the nearby lagoon, which attracts flamingos in winter. The crystalline turquoise water is ideal for swimming and snorkelling.

Photos: Carnaval San Francisco celebrates its 46th year

A dorned with large feather headdresses, Carnaval San Francisco participants colorfully hit the streets during their 46th annual celebration on Sunday.

The Grand Parade had a 60-contingent lineup, with over 3,000 artists representing the cultural heritages of Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Bolivia, Cuba, Peru, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Trinidad & Tobago, Guatemala and El Salvador,

The free two–day festival covered multiple blocks in the Mission District, with five main stages, 50 local performing artists, 400 vendors and an abundance of international food samplings.

Every Carnaval parade begins with a blessing ceremony from local Aztec dancers, where pungent copal incense is burned while they drum and dance.

Carnaval San Francisco is the largest multi–cultural celebration on the West Coast, and first began in 1978.

The theme for this year’s Carnaval was “Honor Indigenous Roots,” and Rigoberta Menchú, a 1992 Nobel Peace Prize laureate from Guatemala who fought for the rights of Indigenous people in her home country, led Sunday’s Grand Parade.

Rodrigo Duran, executive director of Carnaval San Francisco, estimated this year’s parade attendance at 200,000.
