More About Ponce
Ponce is nicknamed “The Pearl of the South” and has a vibe that feels part colonial charm, part cultural heartbeat. It was founded in the late 1600s by descendants of Ponce de León, and the town’s historic core is lined with grand plazas, ornate firehouses, and stately homes.
It’s also a festival town: from late January into February you’ve got the Vejigantes Carnival with wild masks and street dancing, and in mid-May the Danza Festival fills the plaza with music and traditional dance. Foodies, take note—it’s the birthplace of Don Q rum and home to the echt-Puerto Rican fruit, the quenepa, celebrated annually with songs, crafts, and big flavor.
Ponce uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Puerto Rico.
