What To Expect

Plaza Las Delicias

Begin with pickup from your San Juan location and travel in the company of your guide and small group to Ponce, roughly 1.5 hours heading South. During this traveling time you will have the opportunity to admire how Puerto Rico’s diverse geography goes from city/urban, to the lush tropical mountain areas, reaching then the dry zone of the South.

You will visit the Ponce’s Historic Zone, known for its unique architecture and downtown plaza. Here you will see historical landmarks such as Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral, the century-old red-and-black wooden firehouse Parque de Bombas, and the neoclassical and Spanish Revival facades as you go. All while receive interesting and educational facts from your professional certified guide.

During the course of the tour we will stop at a Puerto Rican restaurant to enjoy from an authentic lunch (food cost not included).

Museo de Arte de Ponce

You will also pay a visit to the Ponce Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the Caribbean. Peruse more than 5,000 European and Latin American works — some dating back 500 years, as well as a growing collection of contemporary art. Admire iconic pieces such as Fredrick Lord Leighton’s gorgeous Flaming June, and Brushstrokes in Flight, a 28-foot-high painted metal sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein that marks the main entrance.
