Highlights
  • Unnamed Road - Get adventurous.

Your initial hike is an approximate 30-minute journey on a river-wading and rock-scaling path to the river. This area is surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall by the river. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in its crystal clear waters or jump from a rope and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall is great for picture opportunities!

The adventure finishes in another pool area, its best-kept secret. After a few minutes of hiking and rock climbing (more advanced), arrive at a natural river where you can swim, cliff jump, and enjoy the natural water slides as many times as you would like!

After the tour ends we will stop at a local restaurant for a late lunch (food cost not included), before returning to San Juan or your initial meeting point. This stop will take from 1 to 1.5 hours.

Amazing trip and amazing tour guide (Zoè) - It was sooooo fun. Our tour guide was Zoè and she was absolutely amazing. She gave us history about the rainforest, the trees, plants, and the wildlife. She made sure we were all okay because we kept slipping and falling. She help us up and down the rocks. She even took videos for all of us and sent it to our phones. She was very engaging. When I come back, I hope to have her again. She was an amazing tour guide and she made the experience worth while. Thank you Zoè :) -Jenai

Great trip, terrific guides - Julian and Elias were great guides! They know the rainforest and the surrounding area so well. They are funny, helpful, informative, and kind. We had a lot of fun hiking, scrambling, swimming, cliff-jumping, and sliding down a natural water slide.

Fantastic time! - This was our second trip to El Yunque with Bespoke. The whole family had a fantastic time hiking and getting into the water. The guides were great and when my water shoes fell apart along the hike, Hector took his shoes off and gave them to me for the rest of the tour.
