Popular Puerto Rico experiences

Casa Bacardi

Head to the Bacardi distillery (the biggest rum distillery in the world) in Cantano for a free tour, and indulge in some tasting sessions on your Puerto Rico travels. The distillery is open year-round, but you'll need to book a tour in advance due to its popularity.

El Morro (Fuerte San Felipe del Morro)

This 16th-century fort juts out of the waters of San Juan Harbor, and while it is a beacon for cruise liners, it once served as a deterrent to attacks from the sea. Not only does the fort have an extensive and colorful history, but its views out over the Atlantic are second to none.
