About this activity

Venture into El Yunque's eastern reaches on a guided 4-hour rainforest immersion combining two waterfall pools with swimming, rope swings, cliff jumps, and a natural waterslide. Learn the ecosystem's history and ecology—from 100-year-old trees to native wildlife—while experiencing an unpolished, mud-and-water adventure few tourists reach.

Explore the rainforest on a journey full of history and different natural gems. We visit the East side of El Yunque Rainforest to enjoy a 30-minute hike to the first waterfall. There you can enjoy the landscape, swim in the water, rope swing, or free dive from multiple heights. Further up after a 15-minute hike, there is another watering hole with a waterslide and cliff jump into the river. Learn about the history of the rainforest, iguanas, guava trees, bamboo, and 100-year-old trees. This adventure is good for those looking to enjoy nature and an authentic Puerto Rican rainforest experience. Good physical condition required as the hike is in pure nature, very muddy, and fun. We meet in Fajardo, where you will follow the guide driving your own vehicle from the meeting point until we reach the rainforest. Transportation not included. Uber and taxis are not allowed. Good physical condition required. No flip flops. Enjoy a real adventure full of nature and waterslides in the rainforest.
