Team-Building Activities In Puerto Rico
March 11, 2021
According to Destination Analysts’ most recent survey, Americans remain highly open to travel inspiration, hitting another pandemic record as 63.9% are in a travel readiness state-of-mind. As the vaccine is becoming more widely available, planners are beginning to think of safe destinations for their next group meeting and how they will take advantage of that face time to build (or rebuild) and strengthen relationships after a year of virtual conference calls.
Puerto Rico offers the ease of a domestic location with no passport requirement for U.S. citizens, the use of the U.S. dollar, no roaming fee concerns, and common pharmacies like CVS/Walgreens available Island-wide. Yet it still holds the allure of a Caribbean destination to get attendees excited.
Discover Puerto Rico’s DMC Partners offer a variety of team-building activities and can create custom programs to help groups bond as a team. Below are just a few of the many team-building activities they can help arrange:
- Pick coffee at a beautiful hacienda: Groups will enjoy a competitive experience at a coffee hacienda where teams will handpick as many coffee beans as possible in a specific timeframe. Here’s the catch: each team’s basket holder will be blindfolded and guided by the coffee pickers to collect the beans and arrive at the finish line.
- The amazing rainforest hunt: Guests will immerse themselves fully in nature by driving their 4×4 Jeep along with guides and GPS coordinates into the rainforest. They will follow expert guides along the trails, finding clues, learning about Puerto Rican culture, flora, and fauna, and discover hidden waterfalls.
- Signature Old San Juan food tour: Groups will amble along the streets of Old San Juan hearing stories and learning about its history. Along the way, they will enjoy tastings at various restaurants) and get hands-on involvement creating a signature Puerto Rican dish.
- Community & nature experience: Groups can volunteer with a small farm, national reserve, or a non-profit focused on cleaning coastlines, followed by an outdoor lunch made by a local church or family restaurant. During this experience, attendees will learn about the history of the community including the recovery experience after Hurricane María and efforts to support the development of sustainable ecosystems in Puerto Rico.
