Old San Juan is like a museum of living history, where your clients can explore the impressive San Felipe del Morro and San Cristóbal castles or just wander through the cobblestone streets and soak up the unique architecture of the city.
In this region, they will also find attractions such as the Casa Bacardí distillery in Cataño, where they will learn about the history of rum and enjoy tasting different varieties.
Another rum distillery visit is just 15 minutes outside San Juan; in the town of Bayamón, Ron del Barrilito boasts the oldest distillery in Puerto Rico, which has been manufactured since 1880.
They’ll find a wide variety of shopping in Puerto Rico. Plaza Las Américas in San Juan is the largest shopping center in the Caribbean and offers everything from food courts to movie theaters and more than 300 different stores. For a more luxurious shopping experience with name brands, they should get to The Mall of San Juan in Carolina.
The metro area also has museums for adults and children, picture-perfect beaches, and large hotels with casinos, such as the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino.
