Arrive before the Congress: San Juan

Thursday, July 4, is Independence Day

July 4, 2024, lands on a Thursday, if you're not working or working remotely why not arrive before the congress and take in all that San Juan has to offer.  Some will remain on a beach, others will explore the local sites and still others will travel into Puerto Rico to unveil the inner island's culinary delights and sights.
Stay within your budget by using an AirBnB in Isla Verde, San Juan which you can book on your own or we can help you.
There will be pre-parties every night in San Juan as of July 3, our group is encouraged to stay close to better communication once we head to eat, sightsee, or just hang out.

What to do in San Juan?  Attend every party leading up to the Congress

We will discuss this more in detail in the Whats App Chat

The fun begins as early as July 3!  Here is a complete list of daily evening dance events for everyone arriving early to San Juan.  Piel Canela Dance Company will be out in force, performing, social dancing and having a great time.  Make sure to keep us updated of your arrival so we can include you in our plans.

For the locals: Passes Only

Only recommended for guests living in Puerto Rico

We strongly recommend staying at the Ponce Plaza the official Hotel of the Salsa Congress. Airbnb is good for San Juan but last year we noticed a few of our guests were not happy with the Ponce Airbnbs so best to stay in the luxury of Ponce Plaza - besides it's your vacation.
If you decide not to stay at the Ponce Plaza and prefer an Airbnb in Ponce or if you live in Puerto Rico then you can just buy a full pass without the hotel for $199 per person

Frequently Asked Questions

About the StaY

Why should I go early?

Yes, last year some guests went only to Ponce, and missed out on beaches, eatery and comraderie with the group.  So if your budget allows join us early in San Juan.

Should I stay at Hotel or Airbnb?

In San Juan (a major city) an Airbnb meets expectations and can stretch your budget vs a hotel.  In Ponce it's best to stay at Hotel

Should I rent a car?

We can make that decision once we're there but it will be discussed further in the Whats App chat so we can coordinate everyone pending interests in Puerto Rico - last year majority just wanted to stay on beach

Do I need a passport?

US Citizens do not but are encouraged to bring, a Driver's License will suffice.  For all others please check with your country's regulations, PR is a territory of the US but you don't want to get stuck down there - so triple check
