- El Yunque National Forest - Explore the Eastside of El Yunque Rainforest. The journey begins with a 30-minute hike (the trail may be muddy) to the first mineral water, natural pool. Here, you can admire the scenery, swim, and immerse yourself in nature. Along the path, discover the diverse ecosystem of the rainforest, touch bamboo, unique flora, guava trees, and 300-year-old trees. After a further 15-minute hike, slightly rocky, you’ll find another watering hole with natural waterfalls.
NOTE: Saturday tours follow a different route and require participants to be in good physical condition. This path is ideal for those who are fit and ready for a steeper and muddier adventure. If this isn’t suitable, consider booking on any other day of the week.

Great Tour For a Group - Alex was an amazing tour guide!! He was very patient with our big slow group and helped grandma make it all the way to the pool. Part of our group did the slide, cliff jumping and rope swing and the rest of us watched. The trail was easy, more difficult terrain going up to the water slide, but that part is optional.I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure in a beautiful rainforest!

This was the best... - This was the best excursion! Alex and Eliu were the most amazing guides, they were super fun, very informative of the plants in the rain forest and attentive to everyone's needs. Some of the rock scrambling was moderate to difficult for some and they made sure everyone felt safe and secure during the whole entire trip. They took pictures and video the whole time and at the end they sent them to our phones. Not to mention they picked us up right in front of our hotel! It was way more than we expected. Thank you Alex and Eliu!!!!!

10 out of 10, would recommend - Make sure you wear some footwear you're willing to throw away but still have decent grip as the rocks are slippery. Guides are super friendly and knowledgeable and the small group size was a plus. We left a little earlier and am glad we did. The groups that came behind us were quite large and back to back

Go early and enjoy! - Fantastic trip to El Yunque. We got picked up at 6am on New Years Eve day because our guide, Elieu, knew it was going to be crowded. He was right! So glad we went early and were able to experience the trails and water before all the people arrived. A half day tour was just enough time to do everything and Elieu was a very fun and knowledgeable guide. We had to wear life jackets which was a good idea. We saw other groups without any and I question the safety of those trips!

Recommended - Had a great time. Had an early pick up which is recommended. Later it got very crowded. You will get wet and muddy but the water was like warm and dried up fast. Our guide was Paul. Really nice and I felt safe all the way. A lot of knowledge underway .

I feel a little ashamed i... - I feel a little ashamed i had no clue there was a rainforest in the United States, so the minute I saw this tour I had to book it and it did not disappoint. First off the persons operating this tour was super accommodating because i accidentally canceled the tour but they was able to adjust the rebooking for me to be on the original date so my itinerary was not affected. Our Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and funny.. Perfect combination for any tour guide. would recommend..

I highly recommend this... - I highly recommend this excursion! It was so much fun. Patricia was SO FUN and cool, she made the experience so awesome. It was definitely a bit more active than I was anticipating - I was completely fine but when they say you need to have some level of physical fitness to enjoy this, please listen to them! Lots of climbing over rocks, uphill, etc. Overall a great value for the price and is seriously a can’t-miss thing to do when you’re in PR!
