About this activity

Discover the magic of Puerto Rico’s central mountains on our Coffee & Waterfalls Tour in Ciales — a full-sensory adventure that combines rich coffee culture with breathtaking nature.

Nicknamed the town of coffee, Ciales is home to some of the island’s finest single-origin coffee. On this tour, you’ll visit two small, family-owned coffee farms and two small coffee shops, where you’ll learn firsthand about the coffee-making process — from bean to cup — and enjoy fresh tastings along the way.

We’ll also explore two of the area’s hidden gems: Cascada Las Delicias, a picturesque accessible waterfall tucked deep in the forest, and Charco de Doña Juana.

Whether you’re a coffee lover, nature enthusiast, or just looking to experience authentic Puerto Rico, this tour offers the perfect mix of culture, flavor, and adventure.
