Why Puerto Rico? The history of Puerto Rico predates the landing of the Mayflower on Plymouth Rock by over 100 years. When the Spanish settled the island in the early 1500s, they realized that Puerto Rico’s value lay not in gold or silver, but in its strategic location and deep natural harbor.
The conquistadors converted the city of San Juan into a military outpost, building massive fortifications over three centuries to protect Spanish interests in the New World.
The legacy of the conquistadors can be seen and felt in the very walls that encircle Old San Juan; in the mighty forts that have been meticulously preserved to showcase the ingenuity of military architecture; and in the elegant colonial buildings of San Juan and Ponce, Puerto Rico’s most picturesque cities.
When you explore this island, you step back in time to an era when the Old World reshaped the New. We invite you to join us in reliving its history, discovering its legends, and sharing its fascinating story.
