OLD SAN JUAN 101
Why a walk and not a tour? This is not
the traditional walking tour of Old
San Juan. Trust me. This historic
guided walk narrates the most
relevant events before the arrival of
Christopher Columbus in 1493 through
the end of the eighteen century. This
is the basic guided walk you should
take if you plan to explore the old city
on your own.
Short of time or slow mobility? A
sightseeing version of this activity is
available in a regular or wheelchair
accessible van with capacity for two
wheelchairs and 6 to 8 seats.
OLD SAN JUAN ON WHEELS
How hard it was to live in the
Isleta? Who were the landlords?
Extramuros, infidelity, plagues,
entierros, cobblestone streets,
faroleros, and much more that you will
not learn in any other sightseeing tour
of the old city for slow mobility or
wheelchair. Stop at the plazas and
monuments along Constitution Avenue.

TWILIGHT ZONE
Explore, learn, and have fun while
you walk Old San Juan at twilight.
The walk starts just one hour
before sunset when the Golden
Hour warms the buildings of the
old city and the real "neighbors" of
the Old San Juan awake. Is the
year 1881.
Ask the Guide if there are any
ghosts at the Old San Juan?
Moonless nights are the best for
ghost tales!
Wait, is the Guide dead or
alive?

THE MONKS
Created originally in 2001, our
Catholic Heritage of the Old San
Juan, was adapted to Ruta San Juan
Bautista established a few years ago
by the Puerto Rico Tourism Board.
But, our walk is more than that. We
have improved it and changed the
name to just The Monks, historic
journey through time based on the
chronicles written by Pané, Bartolomé
de Las Casas and Iñigo Abbad.
More than a simple walk through the
old city, you will also learn about the
architecture of the temples, history
behind the walls, and how the
Spaniards imposed their beliefs
within the Taínos and African slaves.
1846
1846 is the first of The Neighbor
Next Door Series, a story telling
guided walk based on a real story
that took place in 1846 at what we
know now as the Old San Juan. The
walk starts at Plaza de Dársenas and
ends at Museo del Mar.
