Tropical Trail Rides
El Yunque National Forest
bring your own snacks and water! the nearby shops can be pricey, and having your own food saved me some extra cash and kept my energy up while hiking.
El 8 de Blanco
i recommend trying their signature cocktails – they're unique and worth every penny. i loved the 'blanco especial', and it made my night!
Look out for any local events or tournaments when you're there. My visit coincided with a pool tournament, and it was a fun experience watching the skilled players!
Bring cash. Some places in San Juan, including El 8 de Blanco, are cash-only for certain transactions, so it's good to be prepared.
Guanica Dry Forest Reserve
Toro Verde
Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes! I saw a ton of folks getting turned away for wearing sandals. Don't let that happen to you!
If you're looking to save a few bucks, try bringing your own snacks and drinks. The food options in the park were pretty pricey and we ended up spending more than expected.
Altitude Trampoline Park Gurabo
Cabo Rojo Wildlife Refuge
Jobos Beach
If you're looking to surf, I think catching the waves early, around 8 AM, is the way to go. The water's calmer and it's less crowded then, giving you space to practice!
Carabali Rainforest Park
If you are taking a guided tour, my advice is to ask questions! The guides are super knowledgeable and I learned so much more just by engaging with them.
Bring bug spray! I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but the mosquitoes were pretty bothersome in the more forested areas.
