Overview

This 5-hour adventure takes you off the typical tourist path to Charco Prieto, one of Puerto Rico’s hidden waterfall gems. Hike through lush tropical scenery, navigate natural terrain, cross streams, and make your way to a beautiful waterfall where you can cool off, take photos, and enjoy one of the island’s more secluded outdoor settings.

This is an active adventure, not a casual sightseeing stop. The trail may include steep, muddy, rocky, and slippery sections depending on recent weather. Participants should be physically fit, comfortable outdoors, and able to hike on uneven natural terrain. Guests should also be prepared to get wet and dirty along the way.

After the hike, enjoy a well-deserved local food stop where you can relax, refuel, and talk about the adventure you just conquered.

This tour is best for nature lovers, adventurous travelers, photographers, and guests who want a more rugged, authentic waterfall experience in Puerto Rico.
