About this experience
On this tour of Puerto Rico’s Hidden Waterfall 2.0, you get to go Bouldering, within the mountains and experience Puerto Rico. Travel comfortably into the mountains of Puerto Rico (approximately a 35-45 minute drive from San Juan).
The highlight of the day is a wonderful, feet in water, bouldering hike up 3 waterfalls to get to our swimming, cliff jumping location. The waterfall trail is on private land, only known by locals, if any. The trail is approximately 30 minutes long, depending on your fitness level. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER’S HIKE, but on the same note, its not super impossible either. This tour has everything that you look forward to on a real true hike in the woods. (Life jackets are available) please request upon booking tour.
Bathe under the waterfall, swim around, cliff jump or just sit and listen to the calming sound of running water. After having an unforgettable time, we will take you to an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant to enjoy lunch (at your own expense).
