IF I ONLY HAD ONE DAY IN OLD SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, I WOULD DO THIS. EL MORRO AND SAN CRISTOBOL TOUR

[@teddysantos826]

Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is the best and beautifull island in all America

[@hectormaymi4059]

Thank you for your visit. San Juan is certainly one of the most beautiful cities in the world (although a little under appreciated) and one of the best cruise ports.

Thanks for the videos! We're heading there the last week of April 2024. I'm excited to get there!

When there, leave main-land ego behind, enjoy rich culture, military service, and how resilient these US Citizens are despite no right to vote for President. Beautiful place to live. 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏

I agree with you concerning the island of San Juan. Absolutely love that island!

Fantastic videos, we are doing a port stop Dec 4 with 6 ships in port unfortunately, however I feel you gave us an advantage with these well plotted vids so thankyou so much!👍

This is so helpful and good. We were in OSJ 5 years ago for 4 days. It was not enough. We are going back in July 2024, for 10 days. Thank you

[@thebestofpuertorico]

So many amazing places to visit. Thanks for watching!

We'll be visiting in September. I've been enjoying your videos as I walk the treadmill. Thank you for your steady camera work and clear pleasant voice. It makes my time on the treadmill fly by while I learn a little about this beautiful island. What would you say about visiting between christmas and new years? Is the water warm enough to play in? Or should we expect less of a beach vacay?

[@thebestofpuertorico]

Thank you so much for your amazing comment! The holidays are great on the island. The air temperature is typically in the low to mid 80s in late December, and the ocean never gets colder than 79°. The water is always warm. That being said, during winter the currents are stronger, and the waves are bigger, especially on the north coast. Escambron Beach right before you get to old San Juan, has a nice protected beach area, and is typically safer for swimming in the winter. You can see this beach on a video I have about the Marriott resort in Condado Beach (Condado Beach itself has a reputation for being dangerous in winter but Escambron is just across the bridge). Depending on the winds, and currents, you may be able to find calmer Waters near Luquillo on the East Coast, or on the West Coast. Playa Buye in Cabo Royo is notorious for having calm waters year-round. Thanks for watching! All the very best🙏

Great video. Gracias. I was born in NYC and was sent there to live with my grandmother to attend elementary school, and later returned to NYC. They were some of the best years of my Life. As an adult, I returned to live there, but the high cost of living, combined with the lack of jobs, made it difficult to stay. Sadly, this is the economic reality of many, that want to live there but can't. That building at 21;22, simply clashes with the surrounding architecture. But developers have their ways of getting them approved (wink...wink...). At the very least, it should be painted to match the area.

You have to go to the mountain

[@thebestofpuertorico]

I just visited Guavate in Cayey.. Amazing🙌 Thanks for watching my video and suggesting I go to the mountains!

It is not the island of San Juan It is Puerto Rico, and its capital is San Juan , and you are in the area of the old city, the Old San Juan.

A tour guide from the department of tourism told me that originally the Spanish called the island San Juan, and the port Puerto Rico. I also found this online. “On November 19, 1493, during his second voyage, Christopher Columbus arrived in Puerto Rico. The indigenous Taíno culture dominated the island.[1] The Taíno called the island Borikén (Spanish Boriquen), “the land of the brave lord.” Columbus named the island San Juan Bautista in honor of Saint John the Baptist. The settlement relocated to a nearby coastal islet, named Puerto Rico (Rich Port). Sometime during the 1520s, the island took the name of Puerto Rico and the port (Puerto Rico) became San Juan.” From gsp.Yale.edu gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/colonial-genocides-project/puerto-rico#:~:text=On%20November%2019%2C%201493%2C%20during,of%20Saint%20John%20the%20Baptist. Thank you so much for your comment!
