Hike to The Clouds & Forest Bathing in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Hike & Forest Bathe in El Yunque.

Partake in an activity that differs from most. Our guides are willing and spend more time within the forest, accompanying you every step of the way. We provide you with a totally encompassing experience. You've found who to make your outing enthralling. Now let's get out there!

What we’ll do

We pick-up at Plaza Colon, Marriott Stellaris, and at Mare St. Clair.

Rainforest Hiking to Mt. Britton Tower 45 minutes (1st leg)

During this leg of the hike you will receive interpretation and interactions along the trail. We also provide information on the several forest types found within El Yunque. This is a steep and slippery paved narrow trail.

Forest Bathing to Los Picachos 30 minutes (2nd leg)

Shinrin Yoku – Forest Bathing, we use this as silent therapy, as on this leg there are usually less hikers. We also ground ourselves at Los Picachos, offloading all that’s unwanted. This portion is not steep and there’s more room too, as the trail widens. Stones here, small and large; are of a loose variety.

Panoramic vista 15 minutes (3rd leg)

This leg is our chance to give thanks, thanks for all we have. With a little luck, we’re rewarded with an amazing panoramic vista. As with the 2nd leg expect loose stones, but the trail narrows.

On with the return leg of the hike, back down the mountain. Once at our transportation we’ll visit La Coca Waterfall, stop at a local place for lunch and finish the experience with swimming at the Mameyes River, Rio Grande.

Where we’ll be

We’ll visit Mt. Britton Tower, Los Picachos (another mountain peak), and our favorite lookout. This last place is a fantastic picture opportunity. Algo with these three main spots, we also make stops at La Coca Waterfall, at La Muralla (for lunch) and we finish with a swim at the Mameyes River.

What we’ll provide

We bring a cooler with ice to provide chilled bottled water or room temperature bottled water. We will provide hydration for the duration of the tour.
