Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    10 min

    We meet our clients at Parque de Pelota Los Naranjos in Fajardo. Here, you can park for free and wait comfortably for our guide in the parking lot. It is very important to arrive 15 minutes early to ensure you don't miss the opportunity to join the activity. Once the guide arrives, they will meet you in the parking lot so you can follow them in your vehicle to El Yunque.

  2. El Yunque Hiking Area

    3 hours

    Upon arrival, our certified tour guide will lead you through this amazing secret spot of "El Yunque". In this area you will explore through the mud trails and lush green of the rainforest. The hike will take approximately 1.5 miles in total and will take approximately twenty minutes to reach the first bathing area and another fifteen minutes hiking on rocks to get to the water slide. We’ll spend around 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes inside the rainforest where we’ll be swimming, swinging from the rope like Tarzan, sliding down a natural waterslide, cooling off under the waterfall and jumping from different cliffs.
