Itinerary
We meet our clients at Parque de Pelota Los Naranjos in Fajardo. Here, you can park for free and wait comfortably for our guide in the parking lot. It is very important to arrive 15 minutes early to ensure you don't miss the opportunity to join the activity. Once the guide arrives, they will meet you in the parking lot so you can follow them in your vehicle to El Yunque.
Upon arrival, our certified tour guide will lead you through this amazing secret spot of "El Yunque". In this area you will explore through the mud trails and lush green of the rainforest. The hike will take approximately 1.5 miles in total and will take approximately twenty minutes to reach the first bathing area and another fifteen minutes hiking on rocks to get to the water slide. We’ll spend around 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes inside the rainforest where we’ll be swimming, swinging from the rope like Tarzan, sliding down a natural waterslide, cooling off under the waterfall and jumping from different cliffs.

If you’re looking for an adventure that feels like stepping into an action movie, this is it. From launching yourself off cliffs to flying through the rainforest on rope swings and racing down natural water slides, every minute was unforgettable. The scenery alone is breathtaking, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Arnel. Arnel was the perfect guide for an adrenaline-filled day. He struck the ideal balance between keeping everyone safe and making sure we had the time of our lives. Before every jump, slide, and swing, he clearly explained what to do, gave us the confidence we needed, and never made anyone feel pressured. His knowledge of El Yunque, the rainforest’s history, wildlife, and hidden gems added another level to the experience that you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. What really stood out was Arnel’s energy. He was incredibly friendly, encouraging, and genuinely excited to see everyone having fun. It never felt like he was just doing a job—it felt like he was taking a group of friends on an unforgettable expedition through the jungle. His enthusiasm was contagious, and by the end of the tour everyone was smiling, laughing, and sharing stories. If you get the chance to book this tour, ask for Arnel. He turned an amazing rainforest adventure into an experience I’ll be talking about for years.
