Casa Bacardi Visitor Centre
Undoubtedly one of the top tourist attractions in Puerto Rico, a
trip to the Casa Bacardi Visitor Centre is a must for travellers to
San Juan. Following their exile from Cuba in the 1950s, the Bacardi
family moved to Puerto Rico and set up a small rum distillery on
the outskirts of San Juan. Today, that small distillery has grown
into the largest in the world - producing a jaw-dropping 100,000
gallons of rum per day, and 21 million cases per year. Tours of the
Casa Bacardi Visitor Centre last about an hour, as visitors are
shown around a variety of exhibits (including vintage rum stills)
and informed about the history of Bacardi rum (including a short
movie). The tour culminates in a visit to an on-site,
classically-styled bar, where a bartender will show you the
'proper' methods of preparing Cuba libres and mojitos. The best
part? All visitors receive two complimentary drink tickets, which
they can cash in on ice-cold Bacardi-based drinks. There is also a
gift shop located on the premises, a perfect place to pick up some
rum or Bacardi apparel for friends back home.
