Caribbean Outdoors operates in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, offering adventure-focused outdoor trips that highlight the island's rainforest and canyon terrain. The company leads distinct experiences that combine waterfall exploration, technical rappelling, natural swimming pools, and locally prepared meals. The San Salvador Rainforest Adventure is a 5-hour excursion that guides participants through lush rainforest trails, up a 600-foot climb to hidden falls, and includes a 65-foot waterfall rappel and time for swimming. The Canyoning Adventure centers on descending canyons by rope with seven rappels, including a 170-foot waterfall, plus opportunities to swim in deep pools and view the surrounding mountains.
Both itineraries include a local lunch component: the rainforest adventure shares a meal with the community, while the canyoning trip serves lunch made from fresh, farm-harvested ingredients. These elements connect outdoor activity with local culture and food. Caribbean Outdoors is based in Orocovis and focuses on delivering organized outdoor outings that showcase Puerto Rico's interior landscapes. Information about specific trip durations, equipment, or booking procedures is provided with each listed experience.
