Overview

Take time to escape from the city and dare yourself to explore El Yunque Rainforest.  Hike, river trek, rock climb, spot its flora and fauna, and enjoy its gorgeous waterfalls, natural pools, and waterslides. Along with your knowledgeable certified tour guide, you will be immersed in a wild paradise and fully infused with the vibrating energy of El Yunque's rivers and fresh clean air, just like the indigenous Taino Indians did centuries ago.

Please make sure to read all details and additional information before booking.  This tour is a moderate to strenuous activity and may not be suitable for everybody.  For a lighter version please look for our El Yunque National Half-Day tour.

What To Expect

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.  Your guide will take the time to share interesting facts about this entire ecosystem and help you spot the native flora and fauna and answer all your questions.We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in its crystal clear waters and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall is great for picture opportunities!The adventure finishes in a 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, swing from a rope to the river, cliff jump, and enjoy the natural water slides.
