Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park in Luquillo offers guided outdoor adventures on a 600-acre ranch adjacent to El Yunque National Forest. The park operates ATV, UTV, and horseback tours designed for a range of skill levels, from first-time riders to experienced adventurers. ATV and UTV options include one- and two-hour rides across rugged trails, creek crossings, and hill climbs, with powerful 600cc–650cc vehicles and a scheduled swim in the Mameyes River. Horseback offerings range from one-hour rainforest rides to longer two- and two-and-a-half-hour excursions that reach foothills and coastal viewpoints, including a beach-oriented ride combining river and Caribbean scenery.
Guides assign horses and vehicles with attention to rider experience and safety, and provide instruction for riders who need it. The park emphasizes outdoor immersion and scenic highlights such as rainforest canopy, river swims, and panoramic views over Luquillo’s coastline. Families and groups can choose UTVs for shared four-seat experiences or individual ATVs for single riders.
Carabalí’s on-site facilities support departures and returns at the ranch, and routes are centered around the Mameyes River and El Yunque foothills. As a Luquillo-based adventure operator featured on The Adventure Collective, the park focuses on delivering memorable nature-based excursions that combine excitement, guided expertise, and access to Puerto Rico’s tropical landscapes.
Trip options include one-hour and two-hour ATV and UTV adventures, and one-, two-, and two-and-a-half-hour horseback rides. Some UTV excursions include a 30-minute swim in the crystal-clear Mameyes River. Tours accommodate families, groups, and individual riders seeking guided rainforest experiences and scenic river access.
