Highlights
- Vega Baja - Get ready to get wet almost as soon as this adventure starts. Just a few minutes of walking downhill, we will encounter a nice trail taking us to a quiet part of the river where it forms small beautiful greenish blue pools and goes underground and downstream through stunning rock formations. There we will do some river trekking, jump and swim in the river and under a cave and later float lazily downstream. We will continue to the second and most popular area. Here, we will see a small but amazing open cave or more like a small canyon carved by the passing of the river for thousands of years. The rock formations are amazing, unique looking and there you can just walk around the formations and flowstones, jump or just relax floating in the water between the canyon to admire this nature’s gift.

Amazing your and deff must dooo - Yamile absolutely super entertaining and very fun to talk to! We had about 2 hours of total drive time and we all talked whole time, laughed off, got to meet everyone who was on the tour! Yamile is very knowledgeable about the caves, the forest and about PR! The food place she brought us to it was super good and good the wallet!! The caves were really fun to go thru and since PR had heavy rain falls so the caves had some trash that was left by the rain falls but Yamile and group of people and your guides who came in day off just to clean!! Very fun experience and def worth and next time we bringing whole family! Thanks to Yamile for her time and dedication to her work and thanks to her for adopting us into her beautiful family!!!!

Yamille’s Cave Tour 10/10 - Highlight of My Trip! - The full day cave tour with Yamille was incredible—highlight of my 9 day trip here in Puerto Rico! I appreciated how energetic and knowledgeable Yamille was throughout the entire day, while we swam, hiked, jumped off canyons, and explored waterfalls, caves, and spring. Yamille herself is a kind, fun, and motherly guide, making sure you have everything you need, including photos and videos. The fact that she feeds the local dogs and picks up trash on the trail is a testament to her character. Overall 10/10

Awesome tour!! - I really enjoyed this tour. Yamile was really nice and patient and made event feel like a nice happy family. She always made sure we were safe and all together as a group. I always felt safe with her even as a solo traveler. I had lots of fun with her. She took us to the river and through nice caves. After our adventures she took us to eat at this authentic Puerto Rican restaurant. She even explained what everything was and they also have vegan options. I really enjoyed the last stop which was a short hike and we all ended up in a spring pool or like a cenote. The water looked really blue and cute. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. Yamile is really knowledgeable and she takes her time explaining things and very friendly. She made me feel like one of her cousins.

Best thing we did in PR!! - Don’t skip this tour— book it now!! It was our favorite thing we did in all of Puerto Rico. We had such an incredible time floating the river, exploring the caves, and hiking through the forest. Yamile was the best. She called us the day before to go through what to bring and what to expect. I recommend wearing a bathing suit, leggings, and a sun shirt/water shirt. We did fine in Tevas but water shoes would have been better. Yamile took tons of amazing pictures. Thank you for everything, Yamile!

Cave experience - Yamile was wonderful, the experience is a once in a lifetime experience. We learned a lot about the culture, tasted great authentic foods for affordable prices! After hiking through the cave and climbing up waterfalls we got a chance to swim through a bat cave in completely darkness and complete silence for a few minutes! We ended our day with a 10 min hike to a beautiful clear spring. Yamile is a great host she knows her stuff, treated us like family and didn’t leave anyone behind.

Beautiful Puerto Rico - It is difficult to express how wonderful this tour was. My family of four (two parents, a 14 year old and a 26 year old) were each impressed for different reasons. Yamille is a terrific tour guide and lovely human being. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind, safe, funny, and warm. The experience was unlike any I have had before where we were able to explore caves, springs, wildlife, and eat a delicious lunch. All four of us are so grateful to Yamille for making our Puerto Rican vacation (our sixth) totally memorable and beyond amazing.

Amazing Indiana Jones experience!! - This Experience….was EVERYTHING. I couldn’t be happier with the whole event, climbing over rocks and along side steep hills, wading through the water and getting to jump in! And omg the caves! So amazing! What really made the tour so magical and fun was our AMAZING guide Yamile!! She was so incredibly informed and passionate about what she did and the beauty of Puerto Rico, she knew all the best spots and kept the energy high and everyone smiling! Truly unforgettable, I cannot recommend it enough! I will say it was a bit more challenging than I expected from the description, but my boyfriend and I absolutely loved that! It felt like an Indiana Jones movie! If you love adventure then THIS is the one for you! (Seriously ask for Yamile/her tour times!)
