PRICE: See Booking Site

 

Begin your day surrounded by the scent of freshly roasted coffee at a family-run café in a historic building. Sip rich, locally grown coffee paired with a powdered-sugar pastry, and hear how beans from the Puerto Rican countryside make their way into your cup.
Wander deeper into the old city to a popular street vendor, where you’ll taste a crispy empanadilla stuffed with savory fillings. It’s emblematic of Puerto Rican fritturas and a favorite on-the-go snack for locals.

Next, skip the long lines at the birthplace of the piña colada. In the very place this iconic cocktail was created, raise a glass to its tropical blend of pineapple, coconut, and rum.

Then, step into a secluded patio at a local restaurant and learn how to make mofongo, Puerto Rico’s quintessential comfort dish. Mash fried plantains using mortar and pestle, fill them with your choice of meat or vegetables, and savor the result.

Afterwards, pause at a fruit vendor for a taste of the island’s sweetest treasures—seasonal tropical fruit at its peak, from mango to guayaba.
Finally, end at a woman-owned, bean-to-bar chocolate shop. This decadent chocolate is made with locally grown cacao. Sip hot cocoa and try a slice of their homemade cake.

With a small group size of max 12 people and a local guide, you’ll not only eat well but connect with the stories, history, and people that make Old San Juan unforgettable.
