Tucked away on a dirt road roughly a half-hour drive from San Juan, Frutos del Guacabo is a farm-to-fork experience that celebrates Puerto Rico’s biodiversity. Opened in 2010, allows visitors to visit the different growing areas of the island farm, from greenhouse to animal pastures, and experience native fruits, herbs and vegetables in a bucolic setting with various options for tastings.

Visitors can opt for a one- or two-hour tour through the grounds, during which you’ll feed goats and sample edible flowers. The highlight of any visit is the tasting menu at the end, which features produce grown right on the premises.

Know Before You Go

Plan ahead since this is a good drive from downtown Puerto Rico. Arrange for a shuttle or transportation before scheduled tour. Ask the booking agent for transportation options if needed. The farm is free to visit, but reservations are essential for tours; email guacabo.tours@gmail.com to schedule.
