Adventure Tips

Stay hydrated throughout the rainforest hike

Puerto Rico’s humid tropical climate means you’ll sweat more; bring plenty of water and take breaks in shaded areas.

Wear sturdy shoes for karstic terrain

The sinkholes and mogotes feature uneven limestone surfaces—solid hiking shoes will prevent slips and provide ankle support.

Bring insect repellent for the forest and caves

Mosquitoes and other bugs are common, especially near water and in caves—repellent helps keep bites manageable.

Carry cash for local food and souvenirs

Markets in Loíza and Old San Juan often prefer cash payments; small bills are helpful for purchases along the tours.
