San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, is historic, mysterious and alluring. There is plenty to keep you occupied on this Caribbean nirvana. Casinos dot the landscape waiting to take your money. The Bacardi factory will beckon you with free samples. El Castillo San Felipe del Morro (“El Morro”) with its famous garitas, is a must have photo opportunity. Exotic wildlife awaits you an hour outside of town at El Yunque, the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest System.
Located across from of the cruise ship terminal is the general aviation Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport / Isla Grande Airport (SIG – TJIG). Isla Grande Flying School, located on the north side of the field, is ready to check out any US aviator. Their rental fleet of Cessna 152s and numerous variations of Cessna 172s are perfect for seeing the island from the air. The north River or the south Tango transitions will easily take you through the neighboring Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport’s (SJU – TJSJ) Charlie airspace.
