You step out of a sun-warmed colonial street and into a different rhythm—car horns and café chatter fade as your air-conditioned van slides toward the eastern foothills. The tour threads Old San Juan’s blue‑stone plazas and the cannon-lined ramparts of Fort San Felipe del Morro into a coastal ribbon of beaches, caves and the broad green shoulders of El Yunque rainforest.
