OVERVIEW

Visit attractions so dramatic and visually beautiful that they were chosen as locations for some of the most well-known and award-winning films. Being the largest Spanish-built fort in the New World, Castillo San Cristóbal makes for an ideal historical setting and you may recognize it from the 2011 movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” El Morro may be an even more iconic fort, which is why parts of the 1997 Steven Spielberg-directed film “Amistad” were shot there. As you walk between these locations and others, the guide will describe their cinematic significance. You will also drop by the neighborhood La Perla, which was featured in the 2011 film “Fast Five,” and the Puerto Rico Cultural Institute, which served as a location for “Black Panther: Wakanada Forever.” You may recognize the Hotel El Convento – a former Carmelite convent built in 1646 – from the TV series “The Flying Nun,” starring Sally Field.
