Things To Do

2026 World Baseball Calssics- Hiram Bithorn Stadium

Baseball Classics will be held from March 6 - 11, 2026

El Yunque National Forest

El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest included in the U.S. National Forest Service. Within the park’s 28,000 acres you can find more than 240 species of plants — most of them endemic — spread across valleys, rivers, streams, waterfalls, and hiking trails. The forest is also home to a handful of rare creatures; as you meander through this enchanting forest, look for endangered species like the Puerto Rican parrot (or iguaca) and the coquí (a small native tree frog), both symbols of Puerto Rico

Carabalí Rainforest Park Adventure

Nested in the foothills of El Yunque is the Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park, an action-packed ranch where the whole family is invited to join the fun. Choose from riding horses along a peaceful Puerto Rican beach, racing along ATV trails, competing in crazy go-kart races, enjoying a side-by-side UTV adventure, and taking smaller children on a fun hayride.

Cayo Icacos

Now it’s time to explore the east region’s other famous attraction – the beach! Known for its aqua-blue waters, beautiful natural reserves, and great marinas, Fajardo is a perfect home base for exploring the small, uninhabited islands that lie just offshore. Icacos Island, the biggest in a chain of cays called the Cordillera Nature Reserve, is accessible by water taxi or group charter. The crystal waters and vibrant coral reefs are home to schools of fish and other marine life that your group will get to observe up close while swimming or snorkeling.

Laguna Grande Bioluminescent

Laguna Grande is located to the east of San Juan in the town of Fajardo and it's one of three bio-bays found in Puerto Rico. The blueish glowing effect in the waters is caused by dinoflagellates— microscopic organisms that react to any movement in the water by activating their glowing defense mechanism. When planning your visit to this natural wonder, keep in mind that the glowing effect is better appreciated on moonless nights, the darker the better! To visit the Laguna Grande, coordinate a boat or kayak tour with a local tour provider.
