When I was a kid I went to the Fox movie theatre which is now that Fox hotel mentioned and another very very nice attraction in Ponce is the Ponce Museum Of Art which I highly recommend but be sure to call in advance to make sure of the hours of operation (it had suffered some damage during the earthquake and was temporarily closed for reparations).
Hey!! Thank you for the comment! Amazing that you had the experience to visit The Fox when it was a theater! Surely it was beautiful! I would have added the museum in this guide but it’s currently closed, unfortunately. Hopefully it will be open soon! 🙏🏼😄⚫️🔴🦁
Hola Roberto! Estoy muy de acuerdo! Ponce es hermoso! Espero pronto hacer un video completo de Aguadillas! Otro municipio encantador! Saludos desde Puerto Rico! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
I'm from Ponce as well but lives in Douglas, Arizona since 2005. Here's one of my drone videos of places visited in 🇵🇷 during my vacation visit on Christmas 2021-22. Watch "Puerto Rico Christmas 2021-22 in 4K" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/_c1EQRH79TE/w-d-xo.html I have a Puerto Rico playlist in my channel...I invite you to check out out and leave me a comment saying hi to me... I used to live in Calle Venus near Clausells and El Tamarindo... Have a great day! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
Bien hecho, another thorough and entertaining travel guide! Great to see Ponce highlighted, so many gems to see in this city like Castillo Serrallés and the Japanese Garden 👍
Is school there taught in English or Spanish? I want to leave and my body is being pulled to Puerto Rico. I want my grandkids to speak fluent Spanish and learn their history. I’m so tempted. But I got questions!
Thank you so much for this video!! It was so informative! We are planning a trip from our home in Ohio to San Juan but were very interested in spending a couple days in Ponce but knew very little about what to do there. Now we have a great idea of whats goin on and we can put some thing together to include our trip! Thank you for this!
Hey Terry!! Wow! Thank you for leaving a comment and for the support! That’s awesome that you were considering visiting Ponce! It is definitely a unique and historical municipality worth visiting. Not sure when you were planning on visiting but keep in mind that it was recently heavily affected by Hurricane Fiona, so it might still be struggling from no power, no electricity or even struggle opening attractions when you visit. Hopefully it can recover quickly! 😔🙏🏼🇵🇷
Museums, views, mall, theatre, Castillo Serrallés, The Guancha, places to eat (Try the dumplings fills with diferent stuffs)... many things... Also quenepas depending on the month... Maybe is open the Taíno ceremonial park.
@@normagonzalez7470 thank you so much! Sadly we had to alter our plans because the island sustained the Hurricane damage😱 so now we have to re-work our vacation times, but nothing is going to stop us from ultimately getting there! And if youre any indication of how helpful and friendly the people of Puerto Rico are, then theres no doubt we will have an amazing time!!
My wife and family are from there and im currently finally exploring this awesome island. Spent a few days in San Juan, now in Aguadilla and next is Ponce. I spoke with her uncle back in California who is the proudest ponce native ever and told him im out here getting to know all these parking structures and he was dying of laughter
Thank you for leaving so many comments! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my videos! 🙏🏼😊🇵🇷 Happy to have helped you connect a little bit with your mom’s home town. 🦁
SALUDOS, SOY DE MAYAGÜEZ PERO VIVO EN LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, ESTÁ BIEN BUENO TU VIDEO, PONCE UNA CIUDAD COMPLETA, LASTIMA QUE LAS TIENDAS DEL PASEO ATOCHA SE FUERON, PERO ME IMAGINO QUE LOS MALLS DE PONCE ESTAN BIEN Y ABIERTOS!!!!!!!!
Hola Wilfredo! Mil gracias por tu comentario! Espero, al igual que tu, que haya un movimiento nuevamente a tener mas comercio en los centros urbanos no tan solo en Ponce, pero en todos los centros urbanos de cada pueblo. Caminar a todos lados (como es posible en un centro urbano) y encontrar todo lo que necesitas no tiene precio. 🙏🏼🇵🇷
Hola, el paseo atocha trsitemente ya no es el nucleo del comercio en Ponce pero ahora se esta convirtiendo en un lugar perfecto para janguear de noche y pasar un buen rato por el dia
I have been to Ponce plenty of times. My mother lives there. When I went to La Guancha, it looked like the earthquake (as well as hurricanes) took a bite out of the beach. Masacre de Ponce (between Aurora & Marina) got trashed by the earthquake. When I saw that I stood there frozen.
The damage is definitely impressive and saddening. I’m hoping nothing else comes their way because they’ve been too strong after all of that. Hoping for better times for Ponce and the other southern municipalities affected. Thanks for your comment! 🙏🏼🇵🇷
You should expand your reviews and guides to the fiesta patronales in PR, specifically on a monthly basis tailored to the tourist industry, gives us something else to look forward to!
Fantastic idea! I’m going to do a video about around November about another municipality during their fiesta patronal. I could at some point do standalone videos of the fiestas. Hopefully with things opened up I’ll be able to make them. Thanks for the ideas! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
@@BriksTravelGuides and also las fiestas de la virgen de Guadalupe they are celebrate every year in December 12 they are beautiful they have been celebrating this for years they celebrate the mass in honor of the Guadalupe they bring mariachis beautiful music the celebration starts at 5 am and continues until 1 pm sometimes longer
this was very informative! loved seeing all the beautiful places to go, learning about the historical facts and landmarks, i look forward to traveling to PR one day and if im lucky ponce will be my destination!
Hey Jaslyn!! Yess!! Hopefully that trip becomes a reality soon! Stick around in the mean time to find out about other places to visit in Puerto Rico! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
You are the best thas the way to make a beautiful video you should make videos from the best resort and beaches in Puerto Rico don't forget a sony day Videos look amazing ❤
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the positive comment. That would be a great video! But also expensive haha unless I get free stays haha thank you again! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
Hey Michael! I’ll be honest, I spent a good amount of time in the plaza and I never saw ir open, not even on Sunday. It might be closed due to damage from the earthquakes. I’m not entirely sure, though. Hopefully people can visit it soon! 🙏🏼🇵🇷
Muchas gracias. Muy bonito e interesante video de Ponce, una ciudad muy bella y históricamente muy importante. Los Poceños siempre muy amables, buenos conversadores y con un buen corazón. Si haces una Parte 2 sería fenomenal que incluyas el Museo de Arte, la Ceiba y el Tuque.
Hola Yariani! Gracias por tu comentario! Estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que mencionaste! Solo tengo cosas bonitas que decir de Ponce y los Ponceños. Definitivo! Quería visitar el Museo de Arte pero estaba cerrado por daños ocurridos por los eventos naturales (huracan y terremotos). Lo he visitado y definitivamente tiene piezas impresionantes. En cuanto a la Ceiba, desafortunadamente lo ultimo que se es que se seco y no es lo que era antes. El Tuque definitivamente lo incluiría en la próxima! Gracias por tus recomendaciones! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
Glad you liked it!! I’m honestly not sure about snorkeling or diving. My guess, based on what I know, is that it’s not great maybe non existent. Ponce isn’t really known for its beaches. However, there is a small island near Ponce called Caja de Muerto that might be good for snorkeling and diving! Maybe I’ll go for a part 2 and share that with everyone! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
Sorry for the late response! What days did you end up going? I would maybe do Thursday and Friday so you get the best of both worlds. Small shops are open during the week, but bars and nightlife in general is lively during the weekend. Hopefully that helps others! Thank you for your comment! 😊🙏🏼🇵🇷
Awesome video on my city❤ thank you for sharing it in all its glory. I actually made a video similar to this one 😅 I also do local travel videos on PR. We should collab, I think it be fun😊
Hey Kenneth! Thank you so much! Means a lot coming from someone who’s actually from Ponce! 😄🙏🏼🦁 I’d love to see your video about it and PR in general as well!!
You can cover next time EL Panteon Nacional and natural attractions such as Lago Cerrillo, Caja De Muerto and Isla Cardona. La Hacienda La Mocha it is a very interesting place as well.
Hola Juan! Thank you for those suggestions! We were going to visit El Panteon, but the carnaval was passing through the plaza and we wanted to record that. By the time we went back to El Panteon, it was closed. Hopefully at some point we can go to Caja de Muerto and those other places! 🙌🏼😄🇵🇷
Hola Candida!! Genial!! Que bien que tengas tan buenos recuerdos de tu escuela en Ponce! 😄 Y me alegro que mis videos te ayuden a conectar con esos recuerdos 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
We just did our first visit to Puerto Rico and specifically went to Ponce to walk in the footsteps of my dad who just passed away. In late 1960's/early 1970's he took a 6-month break from college and worked in a Thom Mcan shoe factory in Ponce. We are trying to find out where it was and got an address right near Parque de Bombas, but that didn't seem quite right. If any of the commenters who are from Ponce have suggestions on how to look for it...
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that story. I wish I could give you more information on that factory. There’s a great company called Isla Caribe that has a ton of knowledge of Ponce and Puerto Rico in general. Maybe give them a follow on their socials and message them to see if they can help. Thank you so much for the comment! ☺️🙏🏼🇵🇷
We will be in Ponce on 1/3/25 and may need your help. We have been told that La Guancha beach, vendor area, etc. is still unrepaired from Hurricane Maria, true?
Me gustan como explicas,lo dices muy claro y educativo,me enferman personas de otros países que no se informan bien y dicen disparates de P.R. en you tube,estupidos!
Hola Rita! Mil gracias por tu comentario! A mi también, por eso empecé el canal, porque vi que la mayoría de los videos en TH-cam de PR eran de turistas visitando o personas que no eran de PR. Quería dar la perspectiva y contexto que solo alguien de Puerto Rico pudiese dar, para que los visitantes puedan ser visitantes consientes. Gracias de nuevo por tu comentario! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
SALUDOS NUEVAMENTE YA TÉ AVIA COMENTADO ANTES PERO TENGO UNA PREGUNTA, EL HOTEL PONCE INTERCONTINENTAL QUÉ ESTA CERRADO CREO QUE LO PIENSAN ABRIR CON OTRA CADENA BIEN IMPORTANTE PORTFOLIO DE MARRIOTT HOTELES ES VERDAD ESO?? PORQUE ESO LE DARÍA UNA INYECCIÓN A PONCE COMO CIUDAD, ME GUSTARÍA VISITAR A PONCE SÍ ABRIERAN ESE HOTEL, SOY DE MAYAGÜEZ PERO VIVO EN ORLANDO FLORIDA, SALUDOS PARA TÍ, SÍ TU PUEDES AVERIGUAR ESO POR FAVOR, ENTERARTE DE ALGO SOBRE ESE HOTEL PONCE INTERCONTINENTAL, GRACIAS UN BUEN DÍA!!!!!!!!
Hola! Gracias por comentar y por el apoyo! Si, entiendo que ese era el plan, pero no se para que año desean abrirlo. Espero que pronto también. Ese lugar tiene una vista hermosisima. 😍🇵🇷🙌🏼
Hey Billy! That would be very interesting and I would totally be open to doing something like that. I’d need to give it some though since there are many different “realities” (for lack of a better word), that people live in PR so I wouldn’t like to cover just one. Thanks for the idea! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
Hey! Thank you for your comment and for the feedback! I’ll try to lower the music on my future videos so it’s not that distracting. Thanks again for the support! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
HELLO!BRIK’S🖖”,I ❤️LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ,I AM FROM PONCE,I HAVE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES,I AM NOT A PROSER, NOR A POET, BUT I AM PART OF THAT STORY , MAYNLY BECAUSE I GRADUATED AT PONCE HIGH ,CRISTINA STREET IN FRONT.

Hey Arcell! Thanks for leaving a comment! On my latest video of the 50 things to know before coming to PR I talk about why I wouldn’t make a video of the Naguabo Infinity Pool. In short, it is extremely dangerous and even with a detailed guide, people are at risk when visiting it. Thank you for your suggestion anyways! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
Caballero, su comentario es extremadamente ofensivo y machista. Le sugiero que busque otro canal para ver, quizás alguno que toque temas de educación en ámbitos sociales y probablemente algún video del machismo y los efectos negativos que tiene esto en nuestra sociedad. Espero no haga otro comentario similar. Si tiene alguna critica de mis videos, espero que sea constructiva, no despectiva.
That sounds personal. Stop being such a miserable hater. The woman in the video isn’t bothering anyone. You chose to focus on her and not the beautiful scenery.

Hey! Thank you for your comment and for the feedback! I’ll try to lower the music on my future videos so it’s not that distracting. Thanks again for the support! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

El yunque infinity pool
Hey Arcell! Thanks for leaving a comment! On my latest video of the 50 things to know before coming to PR I talk about why I wouldn’t make a video of the Naguabo Infinity Pool. In short, it is extremely dangerous and even with a detailed guide, people are at risk when visiting it. Thank you for your suggestion anyways! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
las mascaras cuando yo chico te daban y bien duro con estomagos de vacas, eran malos y todo los chicos corrriamos para escondernos de ellos…😢😢😂
😂😂😂 yo creo que puedes tener una experiencia similar a esa en el festival de las mascaras en Hatillo 😂😅 Se pone bien intensa la cosa haha
My Moms family*is from Ponce*
That’s great! I hope you were able to reconnect to your heritage through my video! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷
If you want to fight the hot hit from Ponce don’t forget to visit the ice cream of down town know as los helados chinos the best
Hey Nicole! Yes, currently called King’s Cream! I included that in the video. Thank you for reinforcing it haha 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
@@BriksTravelGuides always welcome like ponceños say they are masa 😂
You forgot tibes and hacienda Buena Vista.... Those are wayyyy better then that acueducto...
Muy bonita la presentación, la única sugerencia, en el futuro usa una modelo atractiva ya que la que sale no lo es.
Caballero, su comentario es extremadamente ofensivo y machista. Le sugiero que busque otro canal para ver, quizás alguno que toque temas de educación en ámbitos sociales y probablemente algún video del machismo y los efectos negativos que tiene esto en nuestra sociedad. Espero no haga otro comentario similar. Si tiene alguna critica de mis videos, espero que sea constructiva, no despectiva.
Elimina la mujer,molesta la vista,ay bendito!
Hola Rita. No estoy seguro a que se refieres.
That sounds personal. Stop being such a miserable hater. The woman in the video isn’t bothering anyone. You chose to focus on her and not the beautiful scenery.
Nope... Las casa del 25 de mayo... Fueron casas que SE que aron en ese Fuego... No fueron casa de los bomberos.... De donde rayos sacastes ESO...
