Enjoy a cold and refreshing passion fruit or coconut limber — a frozen Puerto Rican treat — on your walk along Old San Juan’s famed blue cobblestone streets. As you pass picturesque churches, statues and sculptures, your guide illuminates the history of this charming district. Along the way, stop for café con leche and Mallorca, a delicious sweet bread inherited from the Spanish.

After visiting a community center providing vital services to the underserved, you'll have the opportunity to participate in volunteer work such as gardening, packaging clothing for the homeless, or assisting in an arts and crafts workshop. Your cultural immersion concludes with a traditional Puerto Rican meal.
