What To Expect
El Yunque National Forest
Come and visit the only Tropical Rainforest in the U.S Forest System! We will begin this unique tour to the “El Yunque Rainforest”, by picking you up early at your hotel. From there we will embark in a drive through the historic “route 66” until our arrival to “Las tinajas trail”. This is where the adventure begins with a 20 minutes’ walk to our first stop in one of the most pristine water river and waterfall. During our hike, you will have the opportunity to learn about the history of el “ Yunque” linked to the Taino’s, but also explore the unique ecosystem of this forest that is home to multiple endemic species such as the Puertorican parrot. Be aware this a muddy tour, be prepared to get wet and dirty! But more than that be prepared to a real connecting experience with yourself, the nature and the best that Puerto Rico has to offer!

Awesome Time!

5.00Adri and Daniel were awesome Tour guides, I loved them. They explained what we would be doing and guided us along the way. When I or my young daughter needed help with climbing, they were right there! Please note: This tour is NOT for you if walking, or climbing is too much but if you can handle go experience, I loved it and it wasn't too long. This was my 2nd time in El Yunque and I loved that I was in a completely different area than when I visited my first time.
Excellent experience with Adri in El YUNQUE

5.00I highly recommend checking out tourstodopr for their rainforest and caves tours. Our tour guides picked us up at our hotel and we were instructed on what to bring/ not bring and a short itinerary of the day. The hike was fun and interesting! The water activities are optional, but trust me, just try them! You will love it! Afterwards, we headed to local restaurants for authentic PR food. It was amazing! They dropped us off right where we were picked up. It was SO convenient!
Experience was super fun!...

4.00Experience was super fun! I’m a non-swimmer but I got to step outside of my comfort zone to do waterslide and rope swing for the first time. The only issue is the communication… when I booked the trip I had to try multiple times to contact the details regarding pickup. The tour guide was amazing though! But we needed to wait for 30+ minutes after lunch break to be driven back to the city. Small hiccups. But overall fun!
It was amazing the tour...

Great time in waterfalls

5.00You will be wet for most of the day; the trek into the falls is beautiful and persons should be in decent shape; it requires a lot of rock scrambling and walking on muddy ground. Our guide Jean was friendly and helpful. He was able to give our small group much more attention. Our car had an issue going to the waterfalls and he helped get us back up and moving, which was unfortunate especially that we stated a bit late. The experience was amazing, Jean was fantastic and our small group “rocked”!

5.00We had so much fun hiking in El Yunque with our guide Enrique. He made it fun and safe for everyone to have a good time. He shared knowledge of the local plant species and the biodiversity of the rain forest.
Definitely do this

5.00Exhilarating experience with some wonderful hosts. Make sure to bring sneakers that can get soaked/muddy or water shoes (if you forget, there’s a roadside stand on route that sells water shoes for ~$20). Highly recommended!
