About
We head West to the northern town of Arecibo. First we will visit the beatiful Tanamá river, located on the Limestone region of Puerto Rico. Once there we will see the first waterfall in La Planta ward, then we will hike upstream to the impressive second waterfall for some swimming and lots of 'Instagramable' moments.
We will have lunch in a local restaurant (not included). In the afternoon we will visit Cueva del Indio. An impressive geological feature and archeological site in front of the Atlantic Ocean. This huge rock structure was formed millions of years ago along Arecibo's coastline. Some of its walls have petroglyphs of the Taíno culture, the original inhabitants of the islands of Puerto Rico.
