Loíza Heritage Tour

What your day looks like

Travel back in time and experience one of Puerto Rico's heritage during this cultural tour of Loíza! Discover Puerto Rico’s heritage, African roots, and natural beauty on a private tour that highlights local culture, and nature attractions. Learn about the Afro-culinary influence, and learn the traditional bomba dance and music. The experience begins with a leisure drive through the Piñones coastal area, where your certified guide will share interesting and valuable information about the history and current role this area plays. We will then venture further into Loíza, to enjoy the artistic creations and mysticism of local plastic artist Samuel Lind. Here you will have an up close and personal tour led by the artist himself. The journey continues with the rhythms and sensual movements of the Bomba, one of the traditional musical styles of Puerto Rico. Experience a unique and private* "bomba" class by the beach, where you will be transported, and the rhythm will take control. Bomba is the encounter and creative relationship between dancers, percussionists, and singers. Immerse yourself in this historic communal activity, passed from generation to generation, that still thrives in the town of Loíza. The experience finishes with a taste of Loiza’s unique gastronomic delicacies. You will have an opportunity for a quick bite of Piñones’ famous local fritters, like an “alcapurria”, "pastel illo" or “bacalaíto”, or seafood salads (food cost not included). ** In the event the bomba instructor does not have availability to accommodate a private lesson, this portion of the tour may be shared with other participants. This is very unusual to happen, in the event of occurring you will be notified prior to the tour date. FAQS • Are car seats provided?
