Discover Puerto Rico has upped its selection of virtual activities for at-home wanderlusters with three Facebook Live tours through Google Earth, hosted during National Travel and Tourism Week May 3 through 9 by Jorge Montalvo from San Juan-based Patria Tours.
The first tour, on May 5 at 5 p.m., covers the natural wonders of Puerto Rico, including El Yunque, the bioluminescent bays in Vieques, the black sand Playa Negra beach, and Cueva Ventana historical cave, among other attractions.
Off the Beaten Track, the second tour in the series, on May 8 at 5 p.m., offers an overview of Ponce, as well as views of Culebra and Flamenco Beach and the crystal waters off Gilligan's Island.
On May 13 at 5 p.m. Montalvo takes his viewers road-tripping across the island with stops at historic lighthouses and colonial buildings like Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristobal, the Guajataca Tunnel built in 1904 and the Cara del Indio rock sculpture.
Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico, said that these tours, as well as other virtual offerings from the destination, "keep Puerto Rico top of mind."
He added, "It also is an opportunity to highlight valued members of the local tourism industry.
