Cave, Waterfall and River Adventure in Charco Azul from San Juan
Description
This is an absolutely unforgettable experience. This day trip has it all: adventure, pristine tropical rivers, waterfalls, cave swimming, beautiful scenery, adrenaline, fun and even some archeology/history along the day. We will swim through caves, go under cool waterfalls, and even cliff jump from cliffs ranging from 8 to 27 feet (optional of course.) The place is almost undiscovered, not like El Yunque where you can easily encounter hundreds of people in a single day. Mostly just locals here or people who come with us! The drive from the meeting point to the rainforest caves is about one hour. Along the way you will see the real Puerto Rico, quite removed from the tourist area. You will see a more rural way of life where the locals are connected with nature. The scenery along the drive and hike is absolutely incredible. Once the adventure begins, we will take you through the jungle. We grew up doing this and know the area like the back of our hands, so you are safe with us.

Edgar was absolutely incredible. He felt like family immediately and my teenage daughters felt so safe hiking and jumping off really tall rocks. We would definitely do this again. The beautiful and entire experience was perfect.
Roy was our guide and he was so amazing. Learning the PR heritage and about the area was great. Caves were so breathtaking and water was refreshing. We met wonderful people and had a great experience. Also loved Roy’s Spider-Man abilities climbing rocks to the 25 foot dive. You can feel the passion in his work and life. Thank you and definitely recommend.
Amazing experience and a must do if you are in Puerto Rico. Location is incredibly beautiful. Our guides Shmuel, Jean and Kashe were so knowledgeable, professional and kind. They helped us feel comfortable and confident to make the cliff jumps and were patient with all guests abilities and confidence levels. This is a physical excursion! You are hiking, climbing, and swimming! Please be prepared and bring appropriate footwear and clothing to enjoy this trip! Loved, 10/10 would do again. Xo, Tania
This was such a great experience. Our guides were so informative, encouraging, fun and kind. You will need a waterproof container for your phone because you do not want to miss out on taking photos! Be prepared and bring shoes to hike in that you can also swim in. Be ready to sweat- and be prepared to experience natural beauty and see ancient markings. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience!
Started with a smoothie at Crush Juice Bar—very good. And a bakery right across the street well worth a stop too. Parking was a bit stressful for a couple minutes, but there is a lot right across the street. The drive too and from the location was an adventure in itself. We arrived alive both ways. Our guides were amazing. Jon was adventurous, patient, and really wanted to ensure everyone had a safe and great time. The hike up and down the hill was strenuous, but you can do it. The caves, water, and cliff jumping was simply amazing. This is a must see for sure. To top it off, the group quickly came out of their shells and we all had a great time together. To top it off, Jon had us stop at a local taco spot on the way back. It was delicious and the perfect time for a quick bite to eat.
Edward was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Puerto Rican history, and culture. He made the experience feel safe and fun! I 1000% recommend booking a tour with him and this company.
Kasha and the whole was awesome! It was such a great experience and had so much fun! I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone. Thank you so much for a memorable day!
My 19 and 16 year old daughters and I went on this hike with Fabs. She was an amazing tour guide! All along the trip she shared history and information about the plants and scenery. The hike was not bad at all. A very good workout! The waterfall, caves and everything was beautiful and my girls loved the cliff jumping. I highly recommend this tour if you are into these things! Gracias Fabs!!!
Edgardo was a great tour guide, safe driver, and even brought us back to our hotel rather than the meeting point so we wouldn’t have to uber. Amazing experience, would definitely do it again in a heartbeat!
We had the best time. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a little adventure.
