Highlights
- El Yunque National Forest - Our rendezvous point is in Condado, from where we’ll embark on a journey to the core of the island, leading us to El Yunque Rainforest. In approximately one hour, we’ll set foot in what is arguably the most untouched and mesmerizing woodland you’ll encounter. The Espiritu Santo River meanders through the lush valley, enveloped by the tropical forest. Our adventure includes a one-hour trek alongside this river. Along the path, we’ll encounter numerous natural pools where we can pause for a dip. At the culmination of our walk, you’ll be enveloped by the serenity of the wilderness. Our final destination is a breathtaking waterfall that cascades into a spacious basin. Participants should be in good physical shape to undertake this hike.

Additional Information
What makes us unique is the fact that we are the only tour guides that operate in this area of El Yunque. We only do small groups in small vehicles. No huge 14-28 passenger busses. This tour visits a hidden, remote and “secret” part of El Yunque. This tour DOES NOT go to the “slides.” This isn’t a touristy spot and you cannot find these places on your own. We almost certainly will be the only people in the area. This day trip is guaranteed to be the highlight of your entire stay in the island. Come with us to explore an off-the-beaten path trail. This hike is to areas in El Yunque that are quite virgin, meaning that human interaction in the area is minimal. El Yunque is a unique ecosystem, quite different from any other areas. The area is also rich in history, which you will learn on the drive. The drive is breathtakingly beautiful and the rainforest even more so. This tour includes river crossings, blue pools of pristine water, cliff jumping and adventure for all. Don’t miss out!

INCREDIBLE & THRILLING - This was a once in a lifetime tour, we ended up cling to another rainforest/river area as per our personal guide it was better based on the weather. We jumped off cliffs, climbed waterfalls and hiked through the jungle. Definitely a physically challenging experience.

Secluded Yunque Waterfalls - We had a great experience on our tour. We were the only family so it felt we were getting a VIP tour. We got to experience a remote water fall in the Yunque which was very beautiful but challenging. Recommend you are in good shape if you sign up for this one. Our guide was very informative, kept us safe and ensured we were having a great time. Definitely would recommend this tour for anyone wanting a challenge and to experience the beauty of PR. PS - Gracias por el Pitorro. That sh@% was good!

Great experience and liked the small group intimacy. Thank you Sarah!!! - It was definitely an "experience" We weren't quite sure what to expect. Sarah was great. She was experience and provided alot of the history. When we first met she explained what to expect for the day and how challenging it might be, but we had now idea. It was great and highly recommended. I would definitely encourage you all to have a disclaimer about what all is entailed and definitely the type of clothing and shoes to wear in preparation along with maybe a hiking experience level., ie beginner hiker, intermediate hiker, experience hiker). Although we were wearing tennis shoes the rocks were quite slippery after getting our shoes wet. Great experience overall. Thank you for your patience :-)

Amazing Time in El Yunque w/ Brandon and Alexis ! - Wow, what an excellent tour with Brandon and Alexis. My girlfriend and I could not have asked for a better tour of Yunque with a little bit of adventure. The waterfalls and rainforest were beautiful and we always felt well taken care/ safe of with our guides. If I come back to PR, I would book a tour with them again!

Highlight Experience Away from the Crowds! - This experience with Brendan and Sarah was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. Brendan was on time in picking us up, his car was clean and comfortable. They were both super fun to be with. The experience in the rainforest was very special. Brendan supported us as needed during the hike making us feel very comfortable. We had different levels of abilities and Brendan figured that out and accommodated the various needs of our group. Being in such a remote spot was amazing - we felt like the only ones in the rainforest! It was a challenging hike but Brendan and Sarah made everything go smoothly, and for those of us who could do a little more, they brought them to a very special part of the forest. We stopped at a very fun and local place for lunch on the way home. It was a day that we won't forget and Brendan and Sarah were the perfect hosts for it.

Challenging but so rewarding!!! - We wanted a challenging and rigorous hike and that is exactly what we got. Our guide, Jesus, was great at picking out the perfect spot to begin our adventure. We climbed on rocks, swam through waterfalls, and made our way through parts of the forest. The views were breathtaking and the adrenaline rush kept us going the entire three hours of the journey. This was definitely one of the coolest things we have ever experienced.

Difficult but worth it! - I had a great time!!!! I haven’t hiked in 3 years so I was struggling a little bit but it was so worth it! Airam did a great job making me feel safe. He even bought me ice cream afterwards - it was so sweet 🥲 my favorite part was the swimming.
