Highlights
  • Canovanas - Traveling East of San Juan we will encounter the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains. Also known to locals as El Yunque. We will visit an area just outside the land managed by the United States Forest Service.

We will begin our hike on an easy slant for the first 10 minutes or so, then we will encounter a more challenging terrain, on a steeper incline, for the next 15 minutes.

You will be asked to wear a life jacket during the hike into and out-of the activity.

Reaching our destination will afford you the opportunity to take beautiful pictures of a pretty waterfall. You can then swim in the pool at the foot of falls. Some may even approach the waterfall and set foot at its base.

The return leg being uphill should take anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes depending on your physical condition. We will make several stops for breathers.

Also included in the experience is a lunch stop at a local family restaurant. Authentic, fairly priced foodstuffs will be served. (Food cost not included.)

With over two decades of exploration, we have uncovered this magical spot that offers both swimming and cliff-jumping thrills. Experience a day like no other!

Upon reaching the river’s edge, you’ll be greeted by pools and a towering cliff. A spectacular waterfall greets you upon emerging from the forest’s shade into the clearing. A paradise for photographers! Feel free to take a dip, and we’ll point out several spots that are perfect for leaping into the water.

The pathway to the waterfall includes a short, mild slope (10 minutes) followed by a steeper descent (20 minutes).

BEST tour guide in PR - Narayan is the best tour guide you could possibly get in PR!! I traveled with three other girls and we all enjoyed the tour greatly. He is very knowledgeable of PR and extremely friendly. He introduced us to local music and businesses that created an overall authentic experience for us. He explained to us many aspects of Puerto Rican and indigenous culture and history, as well as the plants and animals we encountered in PR. He has an amazing sense of humor and our trip was filled with as much laughter as we had enrichment/learning. Narayan clearly loves what he does, and he is very open minded and eager to learn from his tourists as well. He also takes great photos of the scenery. We got to see not only beautiful parts of El Yunque but also the Mayor’s house, statues, local food, etc. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone — from families to a group of friends, etc.!!!

'The world is a book, and those who don't travel only read one page'/DO THIS TOUR! - I gotta be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this tour and how it was going to play out, but our guide Narayan was sensational/exceptional/FABULOSO. He was informative as to all things PR related (history, weather, terrain, culture, etc.), funny (I mean, I chuckled!), took great care of all of us during the entirety of the day (at the waterfall, through el yunque and back again, AND bringing us to an amazing Puerto Rican restaurant afterwards) and went the extra mile (literally!) to make sure all of us had a good time in the wild. THIS TOUR IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WE WOULD DO THIS AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT (....you know, that thing that kept skipping for our friend in the front seat as we drove up and down the mountain).

Fun & informative tour with Seeing Puerto Rico - Fun morning with Lismar from Seeing PR. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest. Tour lasted 4 hours including 30-40 drive to the rainforest from PR. Flexible pick up and drop off. We saw pretty much everything we wanted to in that time. Would 100% recommend their tours. Thanks Lismar for a great morning 💚🇵🇷😎

Best Rainforest Tour In Puerto Rico - This was one of the best excursions I have ever experienced. I was picked up from my hotel along with 2 others who booked this tour. Our guide, Narayan, lead us to a remote waterfall along one of El Yunque's rivers. Once there, we walked underneath the waterfall before jumping into the river below. After swimming in the river, we were treated to my favorite part of the adventure, cliff jumping. Narayan lead everyone to 3 different jump points. He gave instruction to everyone prior to each jump and ensured each jumper was ready for the next one. The cliff jumping was thoroughly incredible and exciting. After the cliff jumping, he brought us to a local restaurant for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine before driving us back to our hotels. If I ever go on another tour in Puerto Rico it will be with Seeing Puerto Rico.

Highly recommend this adventure! - Our tour guide was excellent. He took us to a remote area that nobody goes to. He was very informative about Puerto Rico and the rainforest. He was very interesting and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed. he took us to a waterfall where we got to swim and jump off a rock if we wanted. He was patient with people who were nervous. He took us to an absolutely delicious lunch and helped us pick from the menu. I highly recommend. The walk back from the waterfall was pretty steep, but I’m 56 and I was able to do it. He won’t rush you.
