? Full Description

Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in San Juan, followed by a scenic drive to the coastal town of Loíza. Discover the Cueva María de la Cruz, a sacred cave rich with stories from Puerto Rico’s Indigenous Taíno people and enslaved Africans who once found refuge there.
Next, visit Samuel Lind’s art studio, where you’ll witness beautiful paintings and sculptures inspired by Loíza’s vibrant traditions. You’ll also meet local artisans and watch the creation of Vejigante masks, famous for their bright colors and cultural symbolism.
Finally, head to the beach for an exciting Bomba dance class! Feel the rhythm of the drums, learn the basic steps, and move with the energy of the island’s Afro-Caribbean roots — all while surrounded by ocean breeze and sunshine.
