A JOURNEY THROUGH PUERTO RICAN HISTORY , CULTURE , & CUISINE
Draped in history , dappled with color , and drenched with natural beauty , Old San Juan is one of the most dazzling and unique gems the Caribbean has to offer . Located in the western corner of the beautiful San Juan Islet , Old San Juan is , on the one hand , a thriving tourist destination , and , on the other , the historic core of Puerto Rico ’ s capital city . Moreover , and perhaps most significantly , it is , in fact , a living testament to the melding of cultures that have shaped the territory as we know it today .
