This property was once a religious shrine. It was purchased by an American Rock Star as a pet sanctuary. Once we bought this place we though it was appropriate to call it, “The Sanctuary.” We use a portion of the income at this property to help our nieces/nephew's with their schooling and college.

Camp Gongaga

1 site · Tent1 acre · Bartolo, PR

My property is located near El Yunque Rain Forest. Walking distance from several river spots. You have to park outside, in front of the house, go through the gate, and walk down to the site. Preferable to arrive at property before sun down. Also, be conscious and try to not arrive here late at night waiting to get help etc. https://goo.gl/maps/6bksfK8xtXopKecr8 At the end of the land there's a lil creek. Definitely good area to do bonfires or use the firepit. Back in the day, The Boys Scouts of America, used to come here to camp. I myself was a boy scout😁 so I think is a good place to come, camp in a quite surrounded area with many trees doing a natural fence. I got fruit trees planted that are ready to go as soon as the fruit is ready to grab. There's more to mention but I'll get better with this profile thing ☺️

The best camping near San Juan National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

Step into the past at this World Heritage Site in the heart of Old San Juan. Walls and fortresses built 400 years ago draw history lovers to this Caribbean treasure. Put on your walking shoes, and take a full day to explore the beautifully preserved fortresses.

The site's structures offer a glimpse of the centuries-long fight over the sought-after island. Here, you can explore tunnels, dungeons, and barracks spanning the 16th through the 20th centuries. Don't forget your camera. Few things are more photo-worthy than Puerto Rico's Spanish colonial architecture.

Visiting the two major forts is a must. Castillo San Felipe Del Morro, or simply "El Morro," draws the most visitors. The massive fortress includes six levels of fortifications. On the nearby grounds, locals fly kites and walk their pooches. While less flashy than El Morro, Castillo San Cristobal is the largest New World fortress. Visit with a tour guide to best absorb the fort's rich history.

Fortin San Juan de la Cruz, or "El Canuelo," is a little fortress on the Isla de Cabras. Since you'd have to drive all the way to Toa Baja to visit it, you might just want to snap some photos from El Morro. Before your day ends, take in the historic city walls that hug the shoreline. See them from Paseo del Morro National Recreation Trail and Paseo de la Princesa. Both walkways also offer views of the Atlantic and San Juan Bay.

Bust out your tank top and shorts as the weather here hovers in the 80s and 90s (Fahrenheit) year-round. However, you may want to avoid hurricane season from June to November. We recommend catching the short dry season in April to boost your chances of sunny weather. Whenever you visit, these historic forts are sure to capture your imagination.
