Goat Island (Isla de Cabras)

West of Old San Juan, Goat Island, or Isla de Cabras, holds a somber history as a former leprosy colony. Remnants of the lodgings where people with leprosy were confined still stand, offering a glimpse into the island’s past. Today, the islet serves dual purposes: it functions as a police training area and a recreational spot. Visitors can explore the island and enjoy panoramic views of Old San Juan, blending a sense of history with modern-day leisure.
