red1der1 Posted August 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2009 We are doing the canopy tour and are scheduled to be back by 11:30. The ship leaves at 3:30. Do you think this is enough time between to make it to El Morro for a quick tour or am I pushing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted August 4, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2009 No worrries- You should be able to explore the fort in that amount of time and probably get in a few other sights on the way back to the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red1der1 Posted August 4, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks so much!! How long of a walk would it be from the fort back to the ship?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted August 4, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2009 You are talking less than 1 mile from fort to ship, down hill. I would say it takes about 20-25 mins without stopping (as long as you know the route)- get a map from the PR Tourism booth across the street from the pier. There are a few routes you can go, I have a few favorite stops or quick picture spots, but to see them all you would have to do a little back tracking. Here is a route I would take back from El Morro so you will be able to see most of the great sights (most of these are just picture opportunities, not long visits): Rogativa, the Cathedral, Fortaleza, the chapel at the end of Cristo, back up a few blocks through the City Gate, Paseo de la Princesa and Raices fountain, and of course, Don Q for free drinks after your walk! This walk may take you about 1 hr with no shopping stops! I would grab a quick snack from a ships cafe (or get a to-go box lunch if they offer it). Walk to fort or if the trolley is there, hop on one going to the fort. Get to fort about 12:30p. Explore for about 1 - 1.5 hrs, then walk back making the stops and you are back on the ship on time and happy from the rum stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
