Visiting the fort on your own is easy and at certain times, the rangers offer a small briefing but we took a tour with Victor balbinpr@yahoo.com and found him to be very imformative

show

Canary moon, just want you to know that on Tuesdays at 5 pm for the same $3 entrance fee at fort San Cristobal you can see a fokloric show. This will go on until about may 2007

How neat!
I saw a folkloric show in Cozumel once, and it was wonderful. I'll bet the one in San Juan would be, too!
These's got to be a LOT of material THERE to feed such a show!

Has anyone been to San Juan recently who can tell us what you did there and maybe offer a suggestion or two for those planning to go there soon?

I did this one time - they also have a daytime walking tour.

San Juan: April 3, 2006 - Night Tales in Old San Juan

If it is too hot/humid, you can sit in one of the casinos and get better odds than on the cruise ship.

The biobay tours are best when there is no moon or with a day or two, or if it is overcast.
