Ready to visit El Yunque as locals do? Then come join us, and we will visit local water fun areas located at what is called the "greenbelt” or buffer zone around El Yunque Rainforest for a more adventurous and authentic experience (Off the Beaten Path). On this action-packed Adventure, we will visit natural rock waterslides, swim in natural water holes, and jump from rocks (disclaimer: the 30' foot jump, is not included on this tour, company safety policy). There is a little bit for everyone. If you are adventurous, you will have the option to jump from different rock formations, go for the rope swing, and after the activities, if you feel like just relaxing on the riverbank and going for a swim, there is that option too. 

In the end, we will go to a local beach to have lunch and relax with the sound of the waves.

 What to Expect/Itinerary

• We will visit the house of an Old Jibarito (countryside people from Puerto Rico – around a one-hour drive) from the mountains and get ready for the activities as we enjoy his private paradise in nature. As we explore the area, we will enjoy the breathtaking views of the foothills of El Yunque, hike through natural volcanic rock formations, see small waterfalls, go on natural waterslides, jump from rocks, and enjoy a natural swimming hole. The main attractions are natural waterslides, water jumps, and a rope swing (Disclaimer: waterslides, rope swings, and water jumps, due to their nature are not deemed safe activities. Please be certain and aware of your skill level before partaking in an activity such as this).

• Once we have enjoyed all the adventurous activities, we will hike down and make our way back to a beautiful big natural pool area where the group will be able to swim, relax or keep enjoying the rope swims.

• At the end, we will have our lunch break and get to relax at the Luquillo beach before heading back to the hotel. (note: there is a famous food spot that we can also go to for lunch. Is, basically, your typical blue-collar worker, hole wall, local food spot, which is cheap, famous by local and tourist alike, and serve tons of food)
