After a 20 to 25 minute hike, you reach waterfalls, two natural slides, cliff jumps, and a rope swing. Guides such as Blu, Mike, Ramon, and Ray provide stories, snacks, water, photos, and videos.

Leave Condado with a local guide such as Sarah, Jesus, Jean Louis, or Edwin for a five-hour El Yunque adventure. Follow the Espiritu Santo River over wet rocks to natural pools and a large waterfall. This is a small-group outing for fit hikers, not a gentle trail walk.

We soaked in a swift running waterfall and climbed up rocks to the calm, clear pool where we swam and sunned. A thoroughly enjoyable trip and only an hour from San Juan.”
