Castillo San Felipe del Morro & Castillo de San Cristobal
These two castles were built with the main purpose of protecting the city San Juan from colonies attacks. Castillo San Felipe del Morro was prepared to secure the city against the assaults coming from the sea and Castillo de San Cristobal against those coming from the land.
These are at the base two fortification. The first one was finished in 1787 after several attacks held in the XVI century and the second in 1790, being the biggest fort ever built by Spanish in the world. The constructions offer an unbelievable landscape over sea and land and it’s the perfect destination in Puerto Rico if you want to teleport yourself in the past.

The El Yunque Rain Forest
The National Rainforest is located on the top of Sierra de Luquillo Mountains, in the northeastern part of Puerto Rico. The highest peak (El Toro) reaches the height of 3.494 feet. The forest is unique due to its characteristics. Because of the high density of humidity, you have the opportunity to see an amazing natural landscape. The forest is being a real tropical jungle which consists of numerous rivers and small waterfalls.
