Guided by the charismatic Jean Perales, this tour offers an immersive experience into one of the world’s most beautiful tropical rainforests. Here’s a detailed account of what awaits you on this exhilarating journey.

A Bright and Early Start: Pickup at 7 AM

The day begins bright and early at 7 AM. Our friendly team picks you up directly from your hotel, ensuring a hassle-free start to your adventure. As you board the comfortable van, you’ll receive a warm welcome and an overview of the day’s exciting activities.

First Stop: Fruit Stand “Frutera Flores” in Luquillo

Our first stop is the charming Fruit Stand “Frutera Flores” located in the picturesque town of Luquillo. Here, you can purchase refreshing beverages and snacks to fuel your adventure. It’s also a great opportunity to mingle with fellow travelers and soak in the local ambiance.

Journey to El Yunque Rainforest

After regrouping, we embark on a scenic 25-minute drive to the heart of the El Yunque Rainforest. Upon arrival, you’ll be provided with life vests and a thorough safety briefing. Your safety is our top priority, ensuring you can enjoy the rainforest’s wonders without any worries.

The Hike Begins: Into the Lush Wilderness

With gear in hand, we set off on a 25-minute hike through verdant trails teeming with exotic flora and fauna. The air is filled with the sounds of nature, and the canopy overhead provides a refreshing shade as we make our way to the first highlight of the tour.

“Homebase” – The Enchanting Natural Pool

Our hike leads us to what we affectionately call “Homebase”—a stunning natural pool that looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. The crystal-clear waters beckon you for a swim, but we’ll return here later. For now, the adventure continues!

The Natural Water Slide: A Thrilling Experience

A 15-minute trek brings us to a hidden gem of El Yunque—a Natural Water Slide formed by centuries of flowing water over smooth rock. Here, we spend about 30 minutes laughing and sliding, fully embracing the joy that only nature can provide.

Return to the Natural Pool: Swimming and Rope Swings

We then make our way back to the natural pool at “Homebase.” This time, you’re free to dive in! Enjoy swimming, test your bravery on the rope swings, or simply relax by the waterfalls. The serene environment offers the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories.

Tropical Fruit Refreshments: A Taste of Puerto Rico

No Puerto Rican adventure is complete without indulging in some local flavors. We serve a delightful assortment of tropical fruits like oranges (chinas), mangoes, and papayas. It’s a refreshing treat that replenishes your energy and gives you a taste of the island’s rich agriculture.

Wrapping Up: Time to Head Back

After a fun-filled time at the natural pool, we begin our journey back to our starting point. You’ll have the opportunity to change into dry clothes and prepare for the next leg of the tour.

Lunch at Fruit Stand “Frutera Flores”: Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine

We return to Frutera Flores, where you’ll have an hour to enjoy a delicious lunch. Choose from authentic comida criolla, savor freshly made smoothies, or sip on fresh coconut water. It’s the perfect way to relax and refuel after an adventurous morning.
