Founded in 1509 by the first Spanish colonial governor, Juan Ponce de León at the location of Caparra south of the bay, San Juan has over 500 years of history! Did you know it was first called Caparra, then Puerto Rico when the residents solicited to move it to the islet where it is now located right on the mouth of the bay? Ride with me in ultimate comfort on my Audi Q7 SUV to see the ruins of Ponce De León's house in Caparra, where the first settlement was created in 1509 close to the gold mines of the Bayamón and Toa River. Then, we will ride to the old city and begin our walking tour where we'll visit the most emblematic buildings and streets of the walled city like; the SJ Cathedral, El Morro Fort, San Jose Church, etc. We will also stop for lunch at El Jibarito Rest. We will also ride out of the city to the modern part of SJ, Santurce where we visit la Plaza del Mercado and San Mateo Church. We will then head to Boca Cangrejos to learn all about the SJ estuary and its importance to history.
