Description

Hike the Angelito Trail in El Yunque & Discover the Charm of Old San Juan!

Experience the best of Puerto Rico in one unforgettable day with our 6-hour tour that combines the historic charm of Old San Juan with the natural wonders of El Yunque National Forest. Begin your journey in the heart of Old San Juan, America’s oldest city, where cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings, and centuries of history come to life. Relax in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle as your guide shares fascinating stories about the city’s iconic landmarks, from the imposing forts to the stunning San Juan Cathedral. With six photo stops along the way, you’ll capture memories to treasure forever while avoiding the heat and hassle of exploring on foot.

After exploring Old San Juan, the tour shifts gears as you head east to the lush landscapes of El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system. Here, you’ll head on an easy hike along the Angelito Trail, a path that winds through verdant greenery and leads to a picturesque creek and natural pond. Surrounded by the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves, you'll have a chance to marvel at the incredible biodiversity of the rainforest, from towering ferns to delicate tropical flowers. Whether you take a refreshing dip in the creek or simply soak in the serene beauty, this stop offers a peaceful escape into nature.

This well-organized tour gives you the rare opportunity to experience Puerto Rico’s top two attractions in just a day. From the rich cultural history of Old San Juan to the breathtaking natural beauty of El Yunque, you’ll see two completely different sides of the island without feeling rushed. With expert guidance, seamless transportation, and plenty of time to explore and take photos, this tour is the perfect way to make the most of your time in Puerto Rico.
