About Old San Juan
Old San Juan is the historic heart of Puerto Rico — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 500 years of colonial history. Cobblestone streets, pastel-colored buildings, Spanish forts, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time.
For X-CURSIONS IN MOTION, Old San Juan is a cornerstone of every Puerto Rico experience. From the forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal to the nightlife of Calle San Sebastián and La Factoría — this is where the island's soul lives.
