What to do and see in Carolina, Puerto Rico: The Best Tours

December 21, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Once an important center for sugar production, Puerto Rico's fourth largest city's current fortunes come from its factories. Intriguing nicknames for the city of nearly 200,000 include The Land of Giants and Arm Hackers Town. Situated on the island's north shore, this Atlantic city is considered part of the metropolitan San Juan area. Popular attractions include Carolina Beach, Casa Escute art gallery, Caribbean Raceway Park and Isla Verde Mall. To make the most of your visit, consider renting a car.

Rafael was highly knowledgeable and a true expert! He was even teaching other tour guides on the trail. Very professional and a true bespoke experience. I would not have done this on my own, or even with a group with more than 6 people. We had some beginners in our group and having Rafael in the group gave them confidence in traversing some of the more difficult terrain.
