Puerto Rican for a Day

Calles & Culture: Full Day Itinerary is the ultimate, Native-curated, culturally-immersive travel guide to 📍Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico

While the whole word is traveling to the island this summer to see Bad Bunny — See, taste, and embrace el Viejo San Juan like you were born there (because I was!)

LFG!

What is Calles & Culture: Day-Trip Itinerary ?

Calles & Culture: Day-Trip Itinerary is an immersive, full-day and night, self-guided tour of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. But this is not your typical “point A to point B” guide. This carefully curated day trip itinerary is a strategically mapped, independent walking tour of strictly authentic Puerto Rican establishments and sites. Created by a native (thats me!) this insider’s approach to the city empowers you to explore it like a local ensuring that your visit is genuinely authentic and gringo-proof.

A record breaking number of people are expected to travel to Puerto Rico this summer for Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Mas Fotos residency and having a culturally-insightful guide to the heart of the island is crucial “si te quieres divertir.“

Whether you are here for Benito or here for the Bomba y Plena, Calles and Culture: Day Trip Itinerary to OSJ will transform the way you experience the island by traveling better, traveling deeper, traveling like you belong in Puerto Rico.

Take me to PR

Who is “her”?

Hola! I’m Sheyla, the Puerto Rican native and founder of Travel by SMP.

As a two-time-migrant and avid world traveler, I’ve spent the majority of my life in places that weren’t “mine.”

Whether I was:

✈️ migrating to the U.S at a young age

🗺️ solo-backpacking to over 40 countries

💃🏽 leaving a 15 year career to study abroad or

📍moving to Germany and starting a family

building a home away from home is my lived experience.

Navigating languages, customs, street signs, and side-eyes (looking at you, Germany) while staying rooted in culture, connection, and belonging is my blueprint.

That’s why Calles & Culture: Day Trip Itinerary is more than just a check-list travel guide.

It is my invitation for you to travel better, to travel deeply, to Travel by SMP

“How will I receive my itinerary?”

When you purchase Calles & Culture: Day-Trip Itinerary, you’ll receive an email within 24 hours with your downloadable link, Private Google Map, and details! Save the map to your mobile device, print your beautiful itinerary, and ditch the research!

It’s that easy

This native-curated, locally-informed, culturally-immersive itinerary is NOT for you if…

  • You love spending hours googling, Reddit-ing, and ChatGPT-ing your way through trip planning

  • You enjoy travel that is commercial and disconnected from real local life

  • You’re here for the ‘gram and dismiss the community

  • Your pace is speed walking past cultural sites

  • You bring home a keychain that names a place but holds no meaning

This self-led, strategically-mapped, full day-to-night itinerary IS for you if…

✔️ You ‘Te Quieres Divertir‘ — pero respectfully.

TL;DR:

This is not your basic b**** itinerary.
