About

The phrase "Vamos Pa’ La Isla" comes from an old Puerto Rican saying, rooted in the era of the Spanish cabildos (colonial town councils). Back then, leaving the capital of San Juan meant “going to the island”—a journey into the heartland, where culture, resistance, and beauty flourished beyond colonial walls.

This full-day tour invites you to experience Puerto Rico’s south-southwest—a region rich history, culture, Taino history, vibrant street art, and breathtaking coastal views. Join us as we explore iconic towns, local landmarks, and hidden gems that reveal the island’s soul.

🌄 PONCE – The Pearl of the South

Tibes Indigenous Ceremonial Center: One of the oldest and most important pre-Columbian archaeological sites in the Caribbean. This sacred space was used by the Igneri and later the Taíno people for ceremonies, burials, and astronomy.

Plaza Las Delicias: The main square of Ponce, surrounded by colonial architecture, fountains, and shaded trees—a perfect gathering place in the heart of the city.

Parque de Bombas: A striking red-and-black wooden firehouse built in 1883. It is one of Puerto Rico’s most iconic buildings and a symbol of Poncean pride.
