Do you want to know the REAL Puerto Rico? Join us as we go for a cool off-the-beaten-path rail and river Hike and Rappelling - Discover a Beautiful Rainforest Reserve in Puerto Rico.
On this adventure (Hiking and rappelling), we will venture into the Carite Rainforest of Puerto Rico. Will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view through the countryside before reaching base camp, visiting a beautiful countryside family. This breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path river hike is suitable for both regular and seasoned hikers. We will start the hike with a warm-up steep incline sections, then go up this beautiful river and in the process some entry-level climbing sections using ropes to pull yourself (Hiking Level Real Off The Beaten Path - Moderate to Challenging with some steep hiking and river trekking sections - Suitable for all Physically Fit People). Emotions come alive as we immerse ourselves in the subtropical rainforest and venture to make it to the top of the waterfall.

First Waterfall (80ft) would be an entry-level rappelling experience. Depending on the water level it could also be entry level/intermediate. Participants who are afraid of heights and suffer from aquaphobia are not recommended to partake in this adventure.
-
Second Waterfall (25 ft optional - entry level). If participants don't want to do the second rappel is optional. If the tour guide sees that is not recommended to a participant due to their skill level is not recommended.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: none of the rappels are obligatory but keep in mind the level and type of hiking involved. PLEASE, READ THE PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS.
At the bottom of the first rappel, we will stop in a natural pond surrounded by a lush landscape. You will get to sit down and unwind while enjoying freshly cut mangoes and pineapple.
After a great day, you get to enjoy a savory Puerto Rican meal in the countryside (made by Grandma and family) and at the same time enjoy an amazing panoramic view of the central mountain range of Puerto Rico.
