Join us for a one-of-a-kind Caribbean adventure in Puerto Plata, centered around one of its most iconic cocktails, the legendary piña colada!

Our journey begins at the vibrant HANDMADE THE BRAND shop, located at Calle Duarte, 37. From there, you’ll dive into an unforgettable hands-on experience: cutting, blending, toasting, and laughing as you craft your very own all-natural piña colada, served right inside a fresh pineapple.

Along the way, we’ll dance, chat, and sip on exclusive, homemade tropical rums. What starts as a cocktail workshop quickly turns into a mini tropical party, with great music and delicious drinks, all included in the price.

Bring your best smile, your good vibes, and maybe a fun story or two to share. It’s local, it’s authentic, and it’s a memory you’ll take home with flavor!

Participating in the Piña Colada workshop was an absolute delight from start to finish. Learning how to craft this iconic cocktail created pure enjoyment. The entire group was enthralled by the hands-on experience of creating our own Piña Coladas from scratch. It was a fantastic bonding activity, and sipping on our creations only added to the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone felt welcome and accommodated, even when I arrived late to the workshop. Their warmth and professionalism truly enhanced the experience. After the workshop, visiting their shop in Old San Juan was an unexpected treat. The surprise they had in store for us was the cherry on top of an already wonderful experience. Overall, I can't recommend this workshop enough. It's the perfect blend of fun, education, and relaxation, set against a stunning backdrop of ocean views. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a good time, this workshop is sure to exceed your expectations.

The tour was super special and fun! It was my first time in San Juan and I didn’t know if I could go to La Perla or not, but with this tour it was the perfect approach. The tour was very unique, interesting, authentic and very very local😍 Something worth mentioning is that I felt super safe all the time. I will definitely come back. Thank you so much!

This experience in Old San Juan, was an absolute delight! The tour through La Perla was fascinating, offering a glimpse into its vibrant culture. Learning to make Pina Colada added a fun twist, making it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a unique and immersive adventure in San Juan! And the store Handmade Avarcas and Expadrilles made this experience a whole different level, when you can be the designer of your own shoes.

Such a fun and exciting experience. Is a MUST do when you travel to Puerto Rico. La perla is very iconic and entering with locals is a huge plus. Ocena view, Piña colada 🍍 and shots . What else do you need? Will do it again.

Loved it. So much fun. I would not have dared to go to La Perla by myself. This was unique, local, safe and authentic. Totally recommended.
