About us
We’re Bo and Sarah Flores, and we’re so excited to share Ground Truth with you!
Living in El Yunque, surrounded by the beauty of Puerto Rico, we’ve fallen in love with every corner of this island. Over the years, we’ve heard countless stories from visitors who’ve had their plans disrupted by outdated information, and we wanted to create a solution. That’s why we started Ground Truth.
Our mission is simple: to help you plan your trip with confidence. Whether you’re checking in on a favorite restaurant, a secluded beach, or a new place you’ve heard of, we’re here to provide accurate, up-to-date information. We visit locations ourselves, snap fresh photos, and give you the real story—because we believe you deserve the best experience possible.
Puerto Rico is more than a destination to us; it’s home. We’re passionate about sharing its magic with you, one verified spot at a time. So let us take the guesswork out of your trip planning and help make your visit to Puerto Rico unforgettable!
