Tours, Excursions, Adventure
If you are in Old San Juan it is best to reach the Bacardi Factory by taking the ferry from pier 2 to Cataño. Then it's a very short cab ride from there to the factory.
One of the more popular things to do in San Juan Puerto Rico is a visit to the Casa Bacardi Distillery in the San Juan Metro town of Cataño. This generally entertaining tour takes place in a new visitors center building located on the campus of the distillery with beautiful views of the harbor and Old San Juan. Learn about the history of sugar cane in the Caribbean and how rum making started on the islands. You will be treated to an enjoyable film about the history of Bacardi and the company's rum-making process.
