History and Culture of Old San Juan and Puerto Rico
We spent a remarkable afternoon with Francisco learning about Puerto Rico’s history as we toured Old San Juan. He expertly wove together how the geography, cultural history, and sociology of native Puerto Ricans, colonists, and invaders have shaped current times. Francisco was happy to answer questions as we strolled the streets, leaving us feeling like a friend was showing us around the home he loves, rather than a teacher imparting facts and figures. On our next visit, we’ll definitely plan to see Francisco again, taking in his nature tour, as he’s one of the best guides we’ve been lucky enough to meet anywhere we’ve traveled. Highly recommend!

Amazing guide, fantastic day of learning in the rainforest
We had a fantastic experience with Juan exploring El Yuenque and learning about Puerto Rican history, ecology, geography, culture, and politics!
We were a complex family of 7 that included two babies, two brave 73-year-old grandparents, and three 30-something-year-olds. Juan was responsible, knowledable, and engaging, and felt comfortable opening up to us and we really appreciated our conversations with him.
We are a family of bird lovers, and so we were super happy that Juan new SO MUCH about Puerto Rican flora and fauna and especially birds. Learning about the hurricane impacts and tension between conservation and development was fascinating.
All the logistics were perfect and the van was very comfortable.
Gracias to Juan and his team for an unforgettable day that brought our family closer. We will never forget the rainy day where we got to know El Yuenque.

A Must-Do for El Yunque
Great tour. Francisco was one of the best guides we have ever had. He was very knowledgeable about fauna, flora and forest creatures. He gave utmost attention to safety, assisting my wife when needed because it was raining hard during part of our tour.

A 5 Star Experience
This was an absolutely amazing tour, but even greater was our guide Francisco. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things PR, providing a lot of great historical context. We hiked up a mountain, with Francisco sharing his vast and passionate knowledge about ecology and environmental science. To close out the tour, we stopped at an amazing restaurant. All around a 5 star experience!
