What to Expect/Itinerary

• We will start early heading Northwest of San Juan for a less than an hour drive
• Get ready to get wet almost as soon as this adventure starts. Just a few minutes of walking downhill, we will encounter a nice trail taking us to a quiet part of the river where it forms small beautiful greenish blue pools and goes underground and downstream through stunning rock formations. There we will do some river trekking, jump and swim in the river and under a cave and later float lazily downstream. Here not only you will enjoy the natural surroundings, but also see and understand the effects of the Hurricane Maria and floods during the rainy season in the countryside area. This will be our first exploration.
• We will get back in the trail and continue to the second and most popular area. Here, we will see a small but amazing open cave or more like a small canyon carved by the passing of the river for thousands of years. The rock formations are amazing, unique looking and there you can just walk around the formations and flowstones, jump or just relax floating in the water between the canyon to admire this nature’s gift. This is a photo op for sure.
• After spending a couple of hours in both areas and working an appetite, we will stop in a no-frills local lunch spot for an authentic lunch.
• Finally, will head to a Nature Reserve to hike a short trail leading to a hidden small natural spring. Is a beautiful oasis in the middle of a forest where the water is just pristine and completely clear, for sure refreshing and a great way to end your day before heading back to San Juan
• Having already worked an appetite after hours of exploration, is time for an authentic lunch at the town center before heading back to your hotel.
