Absolute best hiking tour - no questions - This trip was far and away the highlight of our vacation. André was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable and made every detail about the trip fun. The hike itself is absolutely stunning - I still can't get over those waterfalls - and finishing with a delicious lunch of authentic Puerto Rican food was such a treat. If you're looking for a hiking tour, pick this one!!

Unforgettable Experience – A True Highlight of My Trip! - I had the absolute pleasure of joining the Central Mountain Range - Hiking, Waterfalls & Coffee Shop tour, and I can honestly say it was one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had while traveling. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. Andre is a true gem, friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He’s a proud local who doesn’t just show you the landscape, he shares his homeland with you in a way that’s heartfelt and deeply personal. You’re not just walking a trail, you’re being invited into the stories, culture, and hidden beauty of a place he clearly loves. The hike itself was breathtaking, with serene waterfalls, lush greenery, and quiet paths far from the usual tourist spots. And the coffee stop? A cozy, authentic touch that grounded the whole day in local charm. The guide also went above and beyond to take amazing photos and a beautiful video of me during the trip, memories I’ll treasure forever. I genuinely didn’t want the day to end. It was that special. I’ve already recommended this tour to so many friends and would return in a heartbeat just to do it again. Honestly, this experience is worth far more than what you pay. If you’re even thinking about booking, DO IT NOW. You won’t regret it for a second.

One of a kind adventure - We have visited many countries and taken a lot of tours. Andres tour is now at the top. Words can’t describe the beauty that we saw during our adventures. And his love for his culture and his amazing soul were just an added bonus. Highly recommended adding this to your list for a must do in Puerto Rico.

DO THIS HIKE! - LOVED this tour! Cannot recommend more. Andre is a gem: the breakfast, the fruit, the falls, the lunch were all incredible. He also took incredible photos of everyone we will cherish forever. I will note: while the hike is not too long or challenging, some of the spots on the hike might be harder for someone who is older or not too nimble (there are some steep spots and some traversing on rocks).

Book with Altura- highlight of our trip!!! - Our hike with Altura was honestly the highlight of our entire PR trip for me! It's so clear that Andre puts his heart and soul into his business. He designed our whole experience from the ground up, even cutting up fresh fruit for us and showing us all the flowers and trees he has personally planted on the path that he cleared through the rainforest! We didn't see a single other tour group on our trail, so it was the perfect way to get off the typical tourist track and have a more unique experience. Andre is a sweet and friendly tour guide, and also clearly knowledgable about the area and the plant life / ecosystems of the rainforest. He also clearly cared about the safety and comfort levels of our group- had there been any type of emergency during our hike, I would have felt completely safe trusting him to handle it. The views, swimming and entire experience were absolutely top tier, really couldn't recommend more highly that you book with Altura!!

We had a great time... - We had a great time swimming, hiking, and swimming with Andre on this tour! We greatly enjoyed the secluded and private nature of the tour, which brought the small group of people away from tourist traps and towards Andre’s secluded and incredibly beautiful section of El Yunque. His knowledge, appreciation, and love for his land come through in all of his explanations. He led us safely throughout our trip, culminating in delicious fruit by a beautiful waterfall. There were several opportunities to swim or relax throughout the hike, but we also really appreciated the opportunity to try delicious coffee at the beginning of the tour and a traditional Puerto Rican lunch at the end. We couldn’t recommend Andre and his tour enough!
