Castillo San Cristóbal…read more First time I saw it was from a cruise ship cutting into San Juan and that's the way to do it. From the water, it doesn't look like a tourist stop... it looks like it's still on duty. Up close, it's a different story. This isn't just a fort it's the largest Spanish-built fortress in the New World, layered with tunnels, lookout points, and defenses built to stop invasions before they even got started. The history is wild too this place helped fend off a full British attack back in the 1700s. Walking it feels like stepping into a giant, strategic maze with ocean views. It's impressive, a little eerie, and way more intense than you'd expect just looking at it from the outside.

Castillo San Felipe del Morro is easily one of the most incredible places I've ever visited. The…read moremoment you walk up and see the massive fortress overlooking the ocean, it honestly feels like you've stepped into another era. The scale of the place is unbelievable -- huge stone walls, tunnels, lookout towers, and cannons pointed straight out toward the Atlantic. Walking through the fortress was an experience in itself. Every level had something new to explore, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. You can see the ocean stretching forever on one side and the colorful buildings of Old San Juan on the other. It's the kind of place where you just want to stop every few minutes to take photos. At one point it actually started raining briefly, but it almost made the experience better. The rain cooled everything down and gave the whole fortress this dramatic, cinematic atmosphere with the clouds rolling over the ocean. Within minutes the sun came back out and the stone walls looked even more amazing. The history here is incredible too. Knowing that this fortress defended the island for centuries while you're literally walking along those same walls is just surreal. If you're visiting Puerto Rico, this place is an absolute must-see. Between the views, the history, and the sheer size of the fortress, Castillo San Felipe del Morro completely lives up to the hype. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Everything was as it's always been, with the difference that this time around the roof of the lighthouse was inaccessible. Unfortunately, it is still closed for repairs from damages caused bu Maria. That's where the four stars come in. This is not something they warn you about at the time of the reservation. The grounds are well taken care of and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. This is a great place to visit and one of the few in the island were the resources are protected. Even with the top deck closed, the view itself it's worth the visit. They also do night tours of the bio-bay. Paths and tour are kid friendly.

Faro de las Cabezas de San Juan, or Fajardo Lighthouse, is located in north-eastern Puerto Rico,…read more just north of the port of Fajardo. The lighthouse is within the Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve, and is managed by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico. The lighthouse was constructed by the Spanish in 1880, and officially lit on May 2, 1882. This location is on Cape San Juan, which was "the reference point of those who regularly navigate these islands" as described in 1782 by Fray Iñigo Abbad y Lasierra, writer of the first formal history of Puerto Rico. The original lantern had a range of up to 18 miles, and displayed a fixed white light which flashed red every three minutes. It was changed after the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 after the Spanish refused an offer of $160 million to purchase the territory. The building is of neo-classic architectural style and looks like a small castle. Inside the main entrance a corridor leads to a stairway ascending into the lighthouse tower, with an elaborate cast-iron stairway. They don't let you up to the lantern though, which is what I really wanted to see. The lighthouse is part of the tours run by the Conservation Trust, including the evening tour of the bio bay. (See separate review of Reserva Naturel Las Cabezas De San Juan). You go inside the building to see nature displays and watch a movie about the lighthouse and the bio bay. Then you go up to the deck and admire the view from the highest point of Cape San Juan. Day tours of the nature reserve and lighthouse are scheduled at 9:30am, 10:30am and 1:30pm. Our evening tour started around 7:00 pm. The nature reserve is open to the public during the day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but you need a reservation. Call the Conservation Trust at 787-722-5882 and 787-860-2560 on the weekends. Watch for the entrance gate with the guard building on the north end of a beach on the left side - its real easy to drive right by. In 1981 the lighthouse was listed in the U.S. National Register for Historic Places.

We were told it was the type of bed used during the times of Spanish Conquistadors. After all, the house was originally built (a wooden structure) for Juan Ponce de Leon. Although, he never got to live in it. His descendents lived in the rebuilt stone structure for 250 years until they sold it to the Spanish government. It was then transitioned to the US Military after the Treaty of Paris (1898). It became a museum in 1974. Today, it's also an event space for weddings and celebrations. I have to be honest. I was a little disappointed during this last visit. The garden and pathways are not being maintained regularly. I wanted to step down into the area overlooking the ocean, but there wasn't a clear enough pathway due to overgrown shrubs. I was fully prepared to pay the $5 admission fee to go inside, but decided not to after seeing the condition of the public garden in the front and back of the house. We visited on a Saturday, so it's not like it was some off day for lawn services. It's a highly anticipated touristy day. Looking back at it, we probably should have paid the fee and given an extra donation for a clearer path to the ocean view. I've read that the money is needed for restorations of this historical safe haven. Don't let this review discourage you. Just pick a day to visit before or after a wedding or garden event. Then you'll be sure to see it at its best. Because... why would you have your wedding here otherwise?
