El Yunque National Forest

Your initial hike is an approximate 30-minute journey on a river-wading and rock-scaling path to the river. This area is surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall by the river. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in its crystal clear waters or jump from a rope and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall is great for picture opportunities!The adventure finishes in another pool area, its best-kept secret. After a few minutes of hiking and rock climbing (more advanced), arrive at a natural river where you can swim, cliff jump, and enjoy the natural water slides as many times as you would like!After the tour ends we will stop at a local restaurant for a late lunch (food cost not included), before returning to San Juan or your initial meeting point. This stop will take from 1 to 1.5 hours.
