Highlights
  • Las Tinajas Falls - Looking for an adventure that will take you off the beaten path and into the heart of PR’s lush rainforest? La Tinajas is a hidden gem that few visitors to PR ever get to experience. Its crystal-clear waters, stunning natural beauty, and thrilling activities adding an extra dose of adrenaline to your adventure.

Please note that reaching the river involves a moderate to challenging hike through the rainforest, with some sections requiring organic moderate rock climbing and rappelling. While our guides will be with you every step of the way to ensure your safety and share with you, historical facts, and information about the ecosystem.

Once you reach the river, the real fun begins! You’ll have the chance to cool off in the refreshing waters of the Rio La Tinajas, diving into natural pools and exploring the river’s twists and turns. And if you’re feeling particularly daring, why not try your hand at cliff jump or swing and launch yourself into the river like a true adventurer from the 3 different diving levels.

After the river, we will stop by a local restaurant that serves authentic Puerto Rican (grandma-style) food, at a very reasonably priced and available for purchase.

Additional Information

This exclusive journey takes travellers on a unique exploration to an unspoiled Puerto Rican treasure that most holidaymakers never discover. The La Tinajas trip leads you away from common routes and deep into the core of the rainforest. You’ll trek over difficult landscapes, scale rocks, and abseil to find the pristine waters of the Rio La Tinajas.

Upon your arrival at the river, you’ll be welcomed by the opportunity to refresh in the revitalising waters, dive into natural bodies of water, navigate the winding pathways of the river, and even have a go at cliff diving or swinging. Designed to provide an extra thrill for the adventurous spirits, our tour guides will ensure your wellbeing and impart their expertise of the ecological system throughout the journey.

Post-adventure, look forward to savoring an authentic and flavoursome Puerto Rican dish at a neighbourhood eatery, offering a cultural encounter and a sample of traditional home-cooking.

Our favorite part of the trip to San Juan - A beautiful day in nature exploring the rainforest with great guidance by salsa tours “Rei” and much adventure! We climbed rocks, went through shallow rivers, down natural water slides, and jumped off cliff and ropes (by choice!) Highly recommend it for the adventurous spirits!
