About this experience

If you are looking for a tour to put the icing on the cake before you leave Puerto Rico, I have the tour for you! Hike with us on a 20 to 30 minute trail on Private land, up a stream of natural water and volcanic rocks, to a location that will blow your mind. The tombstoning or cliff jumps of this place are anywhere between 5' to 30' feet. You will jump off into a pool of fresh, refreshing, natural water, approximately 15' feet deep. If you are strong and like to hike, but do not know how to swim, LIFE JACKETS ARE PROVIDED for everyone. No one will lose out on the fun. After we are done with our Exhilarating day, we will end up at a local restaurant in the mountains. At this restaurant we will teach you what our traditional food is all about. This meal is the one of the highlights of this tour. Amazing local food at a local price, nothing touristy (this meal is not part of the price of the tour).
