What To Expect
From your hotel in San Juan, Condado or Isla Verde, your guides will pick you up in a club wagon van and take you on a 45 minute drive to your destination, located atop a beautiful mountain range near the city of Caguas. After a quick restroom stop, where you will also have the opportunity to buy any last minute snacks, you will continue on your drive to your tour site as you enjoy the mountain scenery and lifestyle. Once you arrive, your guides will provide you with a helmet and harness and provide you with a brief introduction. You will then start hiking uphill to reach the river trail, where the actual nature adventure begins. Before entering the forest, the guides will give the group a detailed safety talk to prepare you for the upcoming activities. The first part of the adventure consists of an upriver hike through a spring water river and forest, where you will get to also climb up river waterfalls and hills using secured ropes until you reach the top of the El Salto Waterfall. Once you arrive at the rappel station, your guides will give you detailed instruction on how to rappel down the waterfall using secure specialized rappelling equipment. After the group has descended the waterfall you will hike down river until you reach the ziplines, a total of 5, which will take you back to where you started the forest hike. Once the group is back at base camp, you will be given the opportunity to change into your dry clothes. From here it is just a short walk to “Grandma’s” house, where you will get to sit down and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal. You are usually back in San Juan between 3 and 4pm, depending on the group size, speed and traffic conditions.

5.00They have genuinely earned their 5 star review. This tour was our favorite tour that we have done in Puerto Rico by far. The rappelling was extremely safe yet still super cool and fun for anyone seeking adventure. The hiking was also not strenuous but a genuine hike in the rainforest. The tour guides were knowledgeable and extremely nice and friendly. The homemade meal was delicious. I would STRONGLY recommend this tour if you’re seeking adventure in Puerto Rico!

5.00This was my wife’s and mine favorite tour on our whole trip. The tour guides were amazing a so nice! If you are looking for a little adventure this is your tour! Scrambling up rocks along the river, repelling down a 80 foot waterfall, and ziplining over the jungle was a blast. The smaller groups was definitely well appreciated compared to some of the other tours we have done. And who cannot forget grandmas famous cooking!
One of a kind experience!

5.00We have done this excursion twice now and it is an absolutely unforgettable and unique experience unlike any other. This time we had fantastic guides (shout out to Patricia, Sally, and Sammy) who helped us safely navigate the day while sharing their knowledge about the flora and fauna as well as Puerto Rican history and culture. Incredible people! And the surroundings are breathtaking capped off by repelling down through a stunning waterfall. Once in a lifetime experience! We will do this on every visit to Puerto Rico!
An amazing experience

5.00Went last week with our kick ass guide Patricia! My wife and I are both 52 and this is a workout, bending and climbing up rocky streams and rock walls. Of course the highlight is rappelling down the 80 foot waterfall. We loved this tour so much, we can't wait to bring our kids back to Puerto Rico to do this tour! This was one of the highlights of our trip!
Best tour we have ever taken

5.00The trip far exceeded our expectations. The entire trip was engaging and fun. The guides are informative, fun, and provide a challenging yet safe safe experience. It combines hiking, ziplining, and repelling into one tour through the tropical forest. The food was a hot, homemade chicken dinner that hit the spot. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure to remember.
Amazing adventure with a great local crew

5.00This was an amazing adventure. The hike is a real hike so be prepared. The operators do a great job of giving you little tests along the way to make sure you are able to keep up with the hike. It starts with the hill from Grandmas house at the beginning of the tour. They say if you can’t do that you have to stay behind and cook (and drink :) with Grandma…lol. Honestly it was maybe the hardest part of the tour. There were some other places as well if you are not used to steep inclines (I am not) but they would stop for a moment here and there and take those opportunities to tell you about the rainforest and to point out plants with unique properties. It really is amazing to drink directly from the waterfall as the water is so clean and delicious! The repel was fun and went by way too fast. I wish there had been more time to savor that part! The zip lining was just zip lining but in an amazing location so 5 stars :). Lunch at Grandmas was great but honestly you are HUNGRY at the end. I tried to overlook the fact that the chicken we were eating might have been running around the yard the day before. Nice people and perfectly bilingual if that is a concern for you.
Best way to end my trip to Puerto Rico, everything is so beautiful and I love everything outdoors that they have there

5.00My name is Alexis and I had a great time, I went October 15th, 2025 it was definitely the best way to end my trip to Puerto Rico and I luckily was able to last minute have a private tour with just me and my boyfriend. It was so beautiful. It was worth the price I paid because you definitely work for it and it’s an amazing view in the end. Our tour guides Patricia and Diego were the best. The food at the end of the tour at abuelita house was amazing. If you’re not someone who likes to get dirty on a hike maybe it’s not for you but I’d say still try it out it’s so beautiful.
Amazing experience amazing views.
