March 26

While endlessly scrolling one evening, I came across a deal on airfare I couldn’t pass up. An affordable tropical vacation that was much long overdue. My girlfriend and I were astonished by almost every aspect of this beautiful destination, the people, the food, the music, literally everything was amazing.

This Enchanted Island offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes that feel both exotic and familiar. If you're into history check out Old San Juan. Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan) is a vibrant 500-year-old walled city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pastel colored buildings flank blue cobblestone streets. Old San Juan’s iconic, blue-tinted cobblestone streets, known as adoquines, are a defining feature of Puerto Ricos historic capital. Made from iron slag (furnace waste) transported from Spain and England as ship ballast, they gained their characteristic iridescent, blue-grey color from moisture and oxidation.

Cementerio Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis

A Spanish provincial-era cemetery located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The construction of the cemetery began in 1863 and is located on the outskirts of the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro.

After spending an entire day in Old San Juan, we decided to switch it up and do some exploring in the jungle. The luscious canopy hid many gems, Charco El Hippie being one of them. Charco El Hippie is a beautiful set of waterfalls that is relatively easy destination to reach as long as your adventurous. Deep inside El Yunque National Forest your transported to a different world.
