Itinerary
To begin our amazing adventure, our guide will personally pick up the travelers at their accommodations in the metro area. Pickups can be at hotels, resorts, residences, or airbnbs anywhere in San Juan, Carolina, Loiza, Canovanas, Luquillo, Rio Grande, or Fajardo. The day before the excursion, the tour guide will be communicating with the travelers for the exact pick-up time and other details. This schedule goes from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The earlier we start, the better, to avoid bigger tour groups that arrive from other companies.
Our certified tour guide will lead you through this beautiful hidden gem in the rainforest of "El Yunque." In this area, you will explore through the muddy clay trails and the lush greenery of the rainforest. We will arrive at Las Tinajas Falls depending on previously scheduled pick-up times by your personal tour guide. The hike is about 1.5 miles in total and will take about half an hour to arrive at the first bathing area. The guide will talk about the Taino life in the rainforest, the beautiful plants that grow around, and the incredible bathing areas hidden in paradise. In these bathing areas, you will be able to spend 1-2 hours swimming around, rope swinging into the deep rainwaters, sliding through a natural waterslide, and/or jumping from a 30-foot cliff! All these things are in one incredible area in Puerto Rico. We will stay here until 1-2 p.m. and then stop around at some of the nearby restaurants to grab a bite to eat!
After our amazing hike, it's time for some food! If the group and the tour guide wish, a stop will be made at this beautiful beach that is home to some 25 kiosks that are all located in the best restaurants in Puerto Rico. In this strip, you will have the opportunity to try authentic Puerto Rican dishes and drinks like our famous mojitos or "piña colada (lunch costs not included). In turn, you can enjoy the beautiful view provided by one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and have the opportunity to bathe on one of the most iconic beaches on our beautiful island. We will usually arrive by 2–3 p.m. and leave by 4–5 p.m.
Back to your accommodations! Once the experience is over, each member of the group will be taken back to their accommodation directly by the tour guide.
