Who we are

We are Sharely and Sebastian, a husband and wife team with roots that go deeper than a travel brochure.

Sharely grew up in Luquillo, Puerto Rico — not as a tourist, but as a local. She knows which beach is worth the drive, which lechonera is the real one, and which trail in El Yunque the crowds never reach. That insider knowledge is the foundation of every trip we design.

"Si quieres conocer más que solo San Juan — that's why we exist."

We founded Alma Boricua Travel with one belief: no guidebook, no algorithm, and no generic travel agency can show you Puerto Rico better than someone who was born there. We are here to show travelers the Puerto Rico locals know and love. Beyond the resorts. Beyond the tourist traps. The real island.

We work with a curated network of 15+ vetted local Puerto Rican operators to design trips that feel authentic, not packaged. We are based in Austin, Texas, affiliated with Fora Travel, and insured. We serve travelers across the United States who want more than just San Juan

A young couple stands in front of a colorful mural with the word 'GUAVATE' and a Puerto Rican flag design. The woman has long dark hair, is wearing sunglasses, a light-colored strapless top, and denim shorts, holding a pink tumbler. She has a flower in her hair. The man has short dark hair, a beard, is wearing a beige sleeveless shirt, brown shorts, and sneakers, holding a water bottle. They are smiling and hugging each other outdoors on a concrete surface.
