Ron Del Barrilito Visit - 2:15-4:30PM (adult only)

Ron del Barrilito is one of the oldest and most iconic rum brands in Puerto Rico, produced since 1880 at the historic Hacienda Santa Ana in Bayamón. Crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations, this premium rum is aged in Spanish sherry oak barrels, giving it rich notes of caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and spices. A visit to the distillery offers an immersive cultural experience where you can discover the history of Puerto Rican rum-making, tour the aging cellars, and enjoy guided tastings in a beautiful colonial setting. More than just a spirit, Ron del Barrilito represents the heritage, craftsmanship, and pride of Puerto Rican culture.

Chinchorreo Experience - 11AM-3-4PM (adult only)

A chinchorreo in Puerto Rico is a lively and authentic road-trip experience where friends travel from one small local bar or restaurant, called a “chinchorro,” to another while enjoying traditional food, music, and the island’s festive atmosphere. This excursion takes place along scenic routes, allowing  you to discover hidden gems, taste local specialties such as mofongo and lechón, and listen to Puerto Rican salsa and reggaeton. More than just a culinary outing, chinchorreo is a social tradition that reflects the warmth, hospitality, and joyful spirit of Puerto Rican culture.
