About this experience
This is hands down the best hike on the entire island. From breathtaking views, to cool natural tropical pools, to cliff jumps that can satisfy even the most adventurous spirit, this tours has it all. Toro Negro State Park and River are some of the most gorgeous areas in all of Puerto Rico. An unknown gem to the tourists on this excursion - we are almost guaranteed to not see anybody else for the duration of the hike. Not even locals know much about this truly hidden gem. Truly off the beaten path, the area seems completely untouched. The clear, pristine pools of water will invite you in for a swim. The hike requires good physical condition, no injuries, and people who are comfortable swimming (we provide life vests for all but you must be ok with getting wet). The hike ends at Charco El Moron, a breathtaking pool surrounded by pure lush rainforest. Don't miss out on this completely unique adventure. This is a full day event that will take you deep into the jungle.

Toro Negro is home to Puerto Rico's must amazing river. A hidden paradise in the mountains of Ciales, this amazing river is guaranteed to take your breath away. The drive alone is scenic and gorgeous but when you get to the river valley is where you will really fall back in amazement. We will be here a while, swimming and cliff jumping (optional.)
