Overview

Experience the natural beauty of El Yunque National Forest on a guided adventure from San Juan. After pickup from our designated locations, journey into the rainforest and drive nearly 1,600 feet above sea level for breathtaking views of Puerto Rico’s east coast from the Yokahú Observation Tower.
Stop at the iconic La Coca Falls for photos before heading on a short 15-minute hike to the beautiful Mameyes river, where you can swim in refreshing natural pools (weather permitting).

After approximately two hours exploring the rainforest, we’ll continue to Luquillo Beach and the famous kiosk area, where you can relax on the beach, enjoy local food and drinks, or simply soak in the coastal atmosphere.
