Highlights
  • Charco Azul - This tour is rather an undiscovered area. Along the way you will see some of the most beautiful views the island has to offer as we weave our way thru the mountains deep in the heart of the island. Once we reach Vega Baja, our adventure begins hiking down to reach the jungle where the waters are clear, cool and pristine, and awesome cave views
    Once we reach the first cave we get to go under a waterfall that feels like hydrotherapy on your shoulders energizing your spirit. Also we reach a subterranean cave waterfall swimming through this caves!. After we exit the first cave we cross the river at various points. We will see Taino carvings on the stone, indicating the presence of our ancestors in the land before.
    The second cave is even cooler as we get to literally swim underground to cross it.
    After the second cave we continue our hike thru the lush tropical jungle. We are making our way to the third and favorite spot, Charco Azul Canyon. The place is absolutely other worldly, being the scene for various hollywood movies.
    Once there we swim and relax. Also there are many cliff jumps (optional).

Additional Information

Our meeting point is in a central location in Condado. The drive to the caves from this point is approximately an hour. This excursion leads us to a relatively unexplored territory on the island, distant from the bustling crowds and throngs of tourists in El Yunque. Wear tough footwear as we will be trekking through rivers, exploring an underground cave, and even have the opportunity to swim through. Million-year-old rivers have sculpted these mountains, resulting in a myriad of intriguing rock formations and caves. There’s also evidence indicating that indigenous people had visited this location earlier! We cap off our adventure with a soothing stopover at some natural pools. This will undoubtedly be a unique experience unlike any you have had before!

Once in a Lifetime Rainforest/ Cave Experience - We decided on a new family adventure last minute in Puerto Rico! First time here we and saw this opportunity to hike through a rainforest with waterfalls and caves and thought this may be fun. It was myself 47 years, my husband 47 years and our 2 boys, 14 and 11. This hike was definitely a workout for about 2.5-3 hours but worth every minute. We were climbing upward, downward through hills of the rainforest. Up and over rocks! Walked thru creeks and Swam through running rivers that took us thru a cave with flying bats! They provided lifejackets, snacks, water and guided us every step of the way. Edwin and Branden were very knowledgeable, they knew every step and route to take to be the safest, they made us feel like we can do this even though we reached points that looked scary and dangerous. They took us by the hand and showed us where to step to make it doable and safe even for someone like me who is very out of shape They went slow enough at our pace and helped our boys conquer this once in lifetime hike and jump into the water (not mandatory)! They also know about the plants and what not to touch, and found and showed us fossils and they caught a couple baby iguanas to show us how they change colors right in our hands. This was by far the most adventurous guided tour we've ever taken and highly recommend it! This tour is one we will never forget and it has left a mark for us to want to come back and explore more of Puerto Rico! Great job guys!

Exceeded Expectations - I researched for a long time for a tour and can say my friends and I couldn't be happier with the choice. I wanted to avoid what seemed like huge crowds in El Yunque and wanted to stick with a more intimate group. We ended up with a small group of 6 and we had a blast. It was definitely an intense, fairly independent adventure tour, which I would not recommend to anyone out of shape or afraid of heights. We came across only two other tour groups that were larger and seemed more laid back and didn't see any other tours during our final stop of the cliff jumping portion in which we only came across locals (not sure how common that is). You for sure need shoes with good grip as the whole tour could be considered kind of precarious (would expect to fall or stumble at least once, but nothing beyond some bumps and scrapes that we wore proudly) but our guide, John, was so helpful and encouraging during tricky passages of the trail. We had a full hour at the end for cliff jumping, exploring around, and ended up stopping for a great local street food lunch with our guide before heading back. The tour was easily the highlight of our trip and I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique exhilarating experience.

Beautiful, challenging, learned alot - This was a fantastic experience-the area you go to is so beautiful! You will swim thru caves, hike and climb, you will get wet from head to toe. You will need clothing or a bathing suit and something to change into for the drive home. If you have a small headlamp, bring it along, it will increase what you can see in the caves. Your guide will have to carry it in their waterproof pack until you use it. Bring a towel. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and makes sure you are safe and understand your footing as you make your way across more challenging terrain. You will not be able to do this tour if you have balance or stamina issues. The cliff jumping is optional, there is another way down, but it was so fun! It’s a 25 ft drop. Overall, loved every minute of this day!

Unforgettable experience! - Please do yourself a favor and book this tour. The views were absolutely incredible, and we got to swim through caves and even saw some bats! Our tour guide Kenyon was so knowledgeable and always made sure that we were getting the most out of our experience. This has honestly been one of the highlights of our Puerto Rico trip so far, and I would highly recommend if you’re looking for more adventurous things to do while in San Juan. We already wish we could go back. I would rate this tour more than 5 stars if I could.

So Worth It! - The guides were absolutely awesome! The adventure was a blast and I would highly recommend it to anyone! The water was a tad cold. The scenery, the caves, the waterfall, and the opportunity to jump into the water from different heights and areas was incredible.
