Gorgeous island on so many levels 🙏🏼❤️💙
My dream is to visit Puerto Rico❤️
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤️❤️🤗
I agree with many people that say Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful Islands in the world. One thing that confuses me is the pronunciation of the name of the Island. Some people pronounce the name Puerto Rico, meaning rich port, the other is Porto Rico, which in Portuguese also means rich port, the other is Porro Rico, what does Porro stand for?
Thank you
Precioso legado y muy buena explicación.
Beautiful view great story
Museo de las Américas with its beautiful arched plaza should have been part of this video. Also Plaza de Armas simply translates to Army Plaza. Good video otherwise.
PR es muy bonito. Amo puerto rico
En mi viejo San Juan 🎶❤
The guy giving the tour where is his link!?!
I'm so excited I leave one week from today. It's my third trip, but I missed a lot. This video gave me more ideals and areas to go to. 🙂 Thank You!
You should show more of San Juan streets and less of your face.
Wrong, the first European settlement in the Western Hemisphere was Santo Domingo in 1498 by Christoper Columbus itself.
Very hot, humid, and a lot of poverty and crime, other than that it's fantastic.
The gard tower always smells like piss
Great place hope to go back one day
I've been there twice, during my first trip I explored one half, the second trip I did second half, loved it , best experience ever.
My Island Beautiful
Looks so much like southern Italian towns
Great video keep rocking.!
Great video!
Taking a vacation here later next month! My step father’s family lives in Old San Juan so I’m pretty excited to visit again!
Very unprofessional tour guy. At the beginning he were given personal misconception without historical fact, and that makes him unprofessional.
Gracias David Rodriguez por el video me encanta Dios siempre bendiga a mi PRESIOSA ISLA PUERTO RICO🕊⚘👑🇵🇷🕊
Buenísimo Video 👌🏻
Best part of going to old San Juan, look like i went back to Italy.

Old San Juan is as close to heaven as you can get paradise

I love the video man. I subscribed. I visited Puerto Rico in 2013 and it was absolutely gorgeous and charming.
what a beautiful state
Going in Jan 22, Can’t wait to compare to Oahu. We will do a vlog to see the differences. Aloha
Love Puerto Rico. So glad I found a Puerto Rican restaurant in Cerritos California. It’s so good
San Juan es pura chulada!
Wepaaaaaa!!! Extraño PR
Woww.. great explanations 👍🏻
Loved the video, hope to visit one day. Victoria🇵🇷🇺🇸 enjoying your videos from the sunshine state.
I am coming to Puerto Rico on a cruise and have limited time. I would like to find a small beach to collect a small sample of sand. Can you guide me to the closest beach area that I could walk to?
I can’t wait to go visit the enchantment island of USA, the magnificent island of Puerto Rico, I’m from Texas but Puerto Rico got my hart
Far too much jumping around from one shot to the next, amigos. Everytime I saw something I wanted to admire, poof, it was gone, and something else appeared. Slow down.
Great video
You get a shiver watching this strange video in
what appears to be an extremely strange
town on an extremely strange island.
You have an anything but good feeling and want
to leave as soon as possible.
Why do I feel this way?
Comentario por Carmencita: Frente a la Plaza Armas, había un pequeño ventanillo donde se compraban churros, los deliciosos churros!! Creo que ya desapareció.
Im here today with my family. Yo soy un piloto.
Over the years I’ve had 100’s of trips to this beautiful island.
