5.00Don’t leave Puerto Rico without doing this. The rain forest is beautiful. Think of the river as a natural water park. On that note however I would suggest a one piece bathing suit and river shoes (not pool shoes or tennis shoes) the same ones you would wear for tubing, rafting, or noodling because the climb up the rocks is slippery. Also you need to be able to pull your own weight if you can’t you won’t be able to do the slide or jump. Our tour guides were Jean and Amauri. They were great and made sure everyone had a great time and stayed safe.
Great time 10/10 would recommend
