Amazing way to see Puerto Rico

5.00I had such a phenomenal day with Javier. If you’re interested in the history of Puerto Rico this man is really a one stop shop. His tour for me was the perfect blend of education, adventure, and beautiful sights. He was so professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. I cannot recommend his tour or him enough.
One of the best!

5.00The tour was great and Javier was amazing! It’s a bit of drive to the waterfall and the petroglyph rock so it was great to have such a great guide take us on this private tour. Javier is also an archeologist so his insights made the tour so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny.
Above and beyond

5.00Javier is extremely knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history of Puerto Rico and its indigenous people and their customs. We saw petraglyphics, waterfalls and more. Can’t recommend this enough!

5.00My husband and I spent two days with Javier exploring Puerto Rican culture, art, and topography. I suspect that there is no one on the island more passionate or knowledgable about it. We asked questions on so many topics that we got a real feel for Puerto Rico beyond the beaches and touristy areas. We highly recommend his tours.
A unique experience in Puerto Rico

5.00Javi picked us up at our hotel near the convention center. He took us on a journey to remember. He drove us through the center of the island stopping and showing us the native flora, shared stories about the Taino period/people, and took us on a hike to view the petroglyphs. We stopped for coffee, lunch, and dessert during our time together. We really connected with Javi and this was one of our top experiences during our week visit to Puerto Rico.

5.00Javier was a passionate intellectual with so much historical and botanical knowledge of the region. He showed us parts of Puerto Rico - the Taino petroglyphs in the mountains and the incredibly talented artists and Bomba dancers in Louisa - that we would never have seen/experienced on our own. He also provides a very different perspective than you might find on other tours. He was a joy to be with.

5.00I thought it couldn't get any better when I took Javier's New Taino Route Tour, but the Sacred Rainforest Tour blew the scale. Archaeologist and historian Javier will take you up to the top of Puerto Rico and show and tell you about the culture, history, archaeology, birds and current events. He has a passion about Puerto Rico and shares it freely. Driving the winding roads up to the rainforest hypnotizes and calms with paint store shades of green and ivory karst terrain. It seems that mostly local folks come up to the jeweled island heart. Javier is a fabulous driver, has a gorgeous comfy car, and of course is a superb teacher. If you want to learn about Puerto Rico , this is the tour. You couldn't do this on your own and learn how "rich" "Port Rich" really is.
A Highlight of our Visit to Puerto Rico

5.00We highly recommend spending the day with Javier's Sojourn Tours and learning more about the beauty of Puerto Rico. Comfortable car, safe driving through the mountains, great views and stops, fun lunch, and too many interesting conversations to count. Our group, including a teenager, enjoyed everything: waterfalls; meeting some Paso Fino horses; walking around the central mountain town of Jayuya and seeing its petroglyphs; a coffee plantation; and hearing about everything from wild fruit to Taíno face-painting to Puerto Rican history, language, culture, popular music, and more. Javier is a treasure and uses his background in archaeology to create a perfect experience. Try it!
Amazing Experience! A must for any first time visitors or people looking to get intimate knowledge of the island.

5.00Amazing experience with a local guide. We drove through the mountains, learned about different natural trees and vegetation, swam in a waterfall, visited many interesting places (too many to mention) included lunch and coffee on a coffee farm. The guide is a local archeologist and is an excellent guide to see the island with. Amazing experience!
