This place is very special. It’s a place to listen to music, enjoy art, eat, drink and relax. There are several rooms that are wonderfully decorated with tons of art on the wall. There is a Steinway every where you look. The live shows are diverse and incredible. The menu has several appetizers, cocktails and drinks. I only went in for appetizers and drinks so I cannot really fully comment on the menu, but my martini was full and the ceviche was plentiful

ocated in front of Castillo San Felipe del Morro, the Cuartel de Ballajá was built from 1854 to 1864 in order to house the Spanish and Puerto Rican regiments in Old San Juan. After the 1898 invasion by the US Army, the US infantry occupied the Cuartel de Ballajá until 1936. During the Second World War, this structure became a hospital, and in 1976 the Puerto Rican government bought the building. Eventually, this beautiful structure was abandoned and decayed quickly. In 1992, as part of the commemoration of the 5th Centenary of the exchange between Europeans and the native peoples of the Americas, Ricardo Alegría--a famed Puerto Rican archaeologist-- proposed to remodel the Cuartel de Ballajá and create a museum dedicated to the Americas. Nowadays, the Cuartel de Ballajá is perfectly functional and houses the following: a dance school, a music school, the Museo de las Américas, the Puerto Rico Academy of the Spanish Language, and the State Office of Historic Conservation.

Visit El Yunque National Rainforest Plan a soul-refreshing escape to an enchanted rainforest park. This natural treasure is an excellent destination if you want to be immersed in nature. You can visit for a hike on one of its many trails, bathe in natural pools beneath waterfalls, or just relax and enjoy the scenery. El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest Service and its name is a reference to Yuke, what the indigenous Taíno people defined as "white lands." With an average rainfall of 120 inches a year, El Yunque has a very diverse ecosystem, hosting hundreds of unique plant and animal species, including the island’s famous coquí frog. Explore the lush forest of El Yunque. Explore the lush forest of El Yunque. Things to Do Hikers’ Delight One of the most popular things to do in El Yunque is hiking to one of the natural pools to cool off with a swim. Head over to La Coca trail and hike down to one of several ponds along the route for the perfect way to cool off. For fun in the form of a rope swing, choose El Angelito trail, where a 4km hike can end with a dive into its lagoon. There are plenty of additional options for trail with varying levels of difficulty throughout the park. Unique Plants and Wildlife During your visit, learn about the 240 plant species endemic to the island. Enjoy the park’s pure air and some of the best birdwatching on the island. Hopefully, you’ll catch a view of woodpeckers, green mangos, and the Puerto Rican parrot. Beautiful Scenery Want more “wow” during your visit? Drive over to the Yokahú Observation Tower. With an elevation of 1,575 ft, the expansive view is worth the trip. The blue beauty of the ocean in the distance and the vast lush green mountains will have you reaching for your camera. These are some photos that will make your friends on social media jealous. The Puerto Rican flag waves from the top of the Yokahú Observation Tower Walk up the steps of El Yunque's Observation Tower and enjoy the scenic and serene views the rainforest has to offer. The Location Grab your hiking boots and an extra set of clothes (more on that later), and head to the Río Grande area, east of San Juan, via PR-66 to PR-3 and then following PR-191.

Charming rooftop offering fresh cocktails and gorgeous sunsets. Nestled in the heart of Old San Juan, in a restored 19th century colonial-style building, the excellent Decanter Hotel holds a prime location, and also offers a prime rooftop experience. Covering the top floor of the hotel, Bar Catedral Rooftop comes with a lush and quite casual setting, but the views on display are anything but casual. Here you get spectacular views of Old San Juan, including the majestic Catedral de San Juan Bautista, and stretching to the San Juan Harbor.
