Reviewed By dsJ477FO - San Jose, United States

I highly recommend the tour of Sandra Farms. Until this tour, I had no idea that quality coffee is actually produced in the US, and I've been roasting my own coffee at home for years. I've always wanted to visit an active coffee farm and Israel's tour did not disappoint! I learned a bunch and thoroughly enjoyed the coffee, chocolate and the views. Hearing Israel talk, you can really feel his passion for producing top grade coffee and you gain an appreciation for this unique place. Sure, the road in is a bit of an adventure, but that's just part of the fun! (and it's really not that bad) :-P And for other coffee geeks out there: After getting their green coffee home and trying different roast levels, my favorite is right around City+. It's bright and nutty with hints of fruit (to my palate). It compares well to other premium gourmet and boutique coffees. [Sandra Farms, Wet Process, Medium Coffee.

Old San Juan

Consisting of 400 restored buildings from the 16th- and 17th-century Spanish colonial period, this area in San Juan is steeped in history with an old-world and romantic European charm.

Reviewed By MaryannL521 - Fair Oaks, United States

Old San Juan is beyond charming. There is so much history here, great architecture, landmarks, cobblestone streets, wonderful food, great museums, El Morro and San Cristobol, beautiful parks and plazas and lovely residential streets. We walked everywhere but also rode the free trolley. There are three trolley lines that will take you almost anywhere in the old city. A good place to begin is to stop at one of the many Tourist Information Centers. We found the one directly across from Pier One to be the most helpful. Here we got a list of museums and their hours as well as a self guided walking tour and directions to take the ferry to Casa Bacardi. Don't miss the San Juan Gate, Fortaleza Street, the cathedral, the San Juan Historic Cemetery and the Paseo de la Princesa. Enjoy!

Puerto Rico as an island has a lot of history because every other country tried to invade it because of its beauty, strategic position on the map and of course it’s amazing variety of biodiversity (plants and animals)! For more information of where these places are at just like my photo and or review, ask a question or just Follow Me!! ????????????????????

Laguna Grande

A seasonally phosphorescent lagoon in the Cabezas Nature Reserve.

Reviewed By Abeachmann

Booked thru "KayakingTours" for 65 bucks a person. Guide was late. But... Peter was great. Was just me and a buddy. No one else in the lagoon. The plankton were not very luminescent until the paddles dipped into the water. Flat out magical. I think this was a once in a lifetime tour. Five stars all the way.

Yokahu Observation Tower

A tower in El Yunque offering a sweeping view of the rainforest.

Reviewed By kevwoh - Forney, United States

The parking lot was right there and you didnt have to walk very far to the entrance. There was no charge to walk up and see the ocean from the top of the tower, there is rain forest between you and the ocean. Plus there was a small gift shop at the base of the tower, on the inside. Dont forget your camera, the view was pretty remarkable

Faro de Punta Higuera

Find a maritime museum and dolphin-spotting platform at this lighthouse in Rincon.

Reviewed By Christine2335 - Hinsdale, United States

After a day of visiting 3 different beaches in Rincon, we wanted to catch the sunset and get pictures of the El Faro lighthouse. It was not difficult to find using google maps and there's plenty of free parking. Near the lighthouse entrance was a lady selling jewelry for good prices so I bought a few gifts there. The landscaping around the lighthouse and park area is beautiful and there are benches, gazebos and photo ops all around. The bar area overlooks Domes beach below. The prices are decent and it was nice to enjoy a mojito and watch the sunset and the waves below. On this particular night there was live music. We enjoyed out stop here. Check it out and enjoy.

Cabo Rojo Lighthouse

A landmark Spanish-colonial style structure, this picturesque lighthouse sits perched atop a high cliff providing nearly 360-degree views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

This was breath-less view of the ocean! Words cannot describe how beautiful it but it is must-see experience! When driving to the location, be careful of all the pot-holes though!
