Old San Juan: La Perla & Secret Sentry Tower Walk


Event Description:

🌊✨ Discover the soul of Old San Juan—off the beaten path.


Join us for a one-of-a-kind walking tour through Old San Juan’s most vibrant and lesser-known corners. This locally guided experience takes you into the colorful coastal neighborhood of La Perla, where murals, and ocean views come together in unforgettable ways.


Our journey begins at the famous oceanfront basketball court before we follow scenic, hidden trails along the city walls—leading to a secret sentry tower perched quietly beyond the crowds. Here, you’ll enjoy some of the best panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and El Morro fortress that few tourists ever find.

📍 The Bowl – a community hangout with a unique local vibe

📍 “I ❤️ La Perla” sign – a perfect photo stop full of neighborhood pride

📍 Hidden lookout points and colonial paths
