The adventure begins with a hike through a lush tropical forest, where you’ll encounter diverse plant life and experience the serenity of Puerto Rico’s natural landscape. Inside the cave, you’ll explore its fascinating features, including ancient Taíno petroglyphs carvings left by Puerto Rico's indigenous people, offering a glimpse into the island's rich pre-Columbian history.

Rio Tanama
Cool down and enjoy our hidden waterfalls while river trekking into one of the karstic zone canyons. Once we complete a 15-minute hike through the water and beautiful rock formations, we will reach one of the most impressive waterfalls in the northern region. Once there, you will be able to swim, go under the waterfalls, and do some cliff jumping (all optional at the second waterfall). You will get wet and enter the water up to chest level (we provide life jackets). Important: If the weather does not make it safe for us to enter the water, we will go to a natural spring instead.

4.00Our guide was amazing. He deserves 150% rating of this trip. We couldn’t hike waterfall due to rain and concern of flood and instructions on type of clothes required and shoes required was not very clear in the trip. I would not pay this much for this trip.

5.0010/10 experience! I went on the Cueva Ventana and Waterfall Adventure in Arecibo, Puerto Rico with my family, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, our guide Jose was incredibly attentive, informative, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, especially since we're not swimmers. He guided us safely through every part of the tour and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for all of us. Jose didn’t just guide us he also became our photographer, capturing amazing memories along the way. His knowledge of the area and warm personality made the whole day even more special. I’d recommend this tour to anyone. Whether you're adventurous or just want to soak in Puerto Rico’s natural beauty, this tour has something for everyone. Can’t recommend it enough!
Perfect Experience!

5.00This tour was excellent! The guide at the cave (Danny) was very knowledgable. The main attraction is the window but the other parts of the caves were great too, especially the bats, birds and petroglyphics. The hikes to and from the cave were not too strenuous.
10/10 experience
