Meet a local family at a private gem house, creating unforgettable memories while supporting local businesses and guides.

We understand “your time is very valuable,” and you want to see and do as much as possible in your vacation. This is why we’ve created this tour that takes you directly to what you’ll enjoy in less time. Discover Puerto Rico by exploring these hidden, secret waterfalls tour outside of San Juan. These waterfalls are located in a different part of El Yunque in the countryside. (Note: this area is not covered under the federally-protected lands.)

We have no doubt that these waterfalls will become one of your favorite memories in Puerto Rico. We’ll also introduce you to a local family who built a secret gem house (private land) at the top of a majestic waterfall.

To give you easy access to these areas, we built a less-than-10-minute trail with stairs using ropes and recycled material. (We always need to respect nature!) To make the most of your time, you’ll go straight to see the waterfalls! For those more daring, we have places where you can cliff jump, and we’ll provide lifejackets.

Everyone will have the opportunity to swim and relax in the natural pools.

Note: We have the right to modify the tour for safety reasons in case of weather. As a local business, we always support other local businesses and hire local Puerto Rican tour guides.
