    Full description

    Feel like a true explorer and challenge yourself to an off-the-beaten-path adventure in the heart of the El Yunque Rainforest. Begin with a 25-30 minute journey up a rock and dirt path, along with some river wading. Enjoy being surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants as you hike into the refreshing natural pools. First, a visit to a collecting pool that forms at the base of a waterfall. Swim in its crystal clear waters and admire the colors of its deep pools. Enjoy the cascades of the waterfall and take the opportunity to snap pictures. Continue into the forest as you climb to another set of pools (more advanced). Arrive at a river where you can swim, swing from a rope into the water, and enjoy natural water slides.

    This was a great hike. The tour guides were fantastic and they took pictures which we got for free at the end of the trip. However, the starting time and end time for our trip did not match what was on the app. We also did not get any contact about pick up location until the night before. Overall the experience was great, but would have liked to know that the times were different earlier because we had other activities planned around it.

    This was an awesome experience, but is definitely for more fit individuals. The hike to the location is rough, and with the mud hiking boots are a must or you will be slipping the whole way. The main feature of this activity are the swimming activities, so come planning to get wet. The guides were great and had a ton of personality and took plenty of photos and videos for you so you can leave phones safe and sound on the bus. Overall this is a great excursion for adventurous individuals!
