Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Cobblestone streets and colorful colonial buildings create a postcard-perfect setting that feels like stepping back into the 16th century. A mighty fortress stands guard, once protecting the harbor from pirates and colonial powers alike.

Destaques: Look for the blue cobblestones imported from Sweden, a unique feature that sets the streets apart from others in the Americas. At dusk, the warm glow from lanterns along the walls of Castillo San Felipe del Morro casts enchanting shadows over the ocean.
