Ponce the Pearl City from San Juan

Ponce is Puerto Rico's second city and because of its unique beauty, it is known as the 'Pearl of the South'. You'll visit the Tibes Indian Ceremonial Park and Seralles Castle, with the city's stately plazas and mansions and its famous red and black firehouse.

After a short scenic drive from San Juan, you'll arrive in about an hour on a scenic expressway through the central mountain range and will see lovingly restored mansions, each a unique criollo interpretation of the Neo-classical architecture.

Then, visit the Tibes Indian Ceremonial Park, discovered in 1975. The first inhabitants of the area had constructed ceremonial parks where they used to celebrate festivals and important events. See burials, charms, idols, vessels and other artifacts used by Indians who had lived in the Ponce area.

The tour concludes with a visit to Seralles Castle. Take in the city's stately plazas and mansions and its famous red and black firehouse. A stop is made for lunch (not included in price) during this full day tour.
