About

Our “Wild & Scenic Rainforest Nature Walk to River Adventure” is an easy to moderate nature walk through Angelito Trail into the interior of the only Tropical Rainforest in the U.S. Forestry system!  

Locally known as the “El Yunque National Forest” 28,000 acres of lush plants, hardwood trees, cloud forests, dwarf forest, rivers, waterfalls, birds, insects, lizards and beautiful flowers along with a rich culture and historical background make for an unforgettable rainforest nature walk adventure to Las Damas natural pool where we can enjoy the river, weather permitting.

Our guides will teach you about Puerto Rico rainforest facts, flora, fauna, history, culture and outdoor ethics, while you see, hear, smell, and experience the beautiful sights and sound of the rainforest!
