Additional Information

Ponce, often referred to as ‘the pearl of the south’ or the ‘city of quenepas,’ holds the position as the second largest populous city in Puerto Rico. It’s settled along the southern coastline and bears the name of Juan Ponce de Leon y Loayza, the direct descendant of the prominent Spanish figure, Juan Ponce de Leon. While the city’s vibrant and lovely European-style architecture harks back to Old San Juan, the inhabitants will often assertively state, ‘ponce is ponce and everything else is simply parking.’

The remaining 4 hours will be applied to the travel time.

Rolando our amazing guide made us feel very special with his willingness to make a change to our itinerary! - Ponce is beautiful and everything we wanted. When I explained to our guide Rolando that I would love to go to Aibonito, since that is where my grandfather was from, he kindly offered to take us there! What a very beautiful place! My sister and I were so touched by his offer. We would use We Take You again!
