Overview

Enjoy a unique full-day experience and immerse yourself into the lushness of the central mountain region of the island. Prepare for a scenic drive through the countryside roads, spectacular mountains, and panoramic views to find one of the most unique and mystical places on the island.

River trek to a serene and secluded water pool and be astounded by a hidden canyon leading to a beautiful waterfall. Marvel at the stunning towering volcanic rock cliffs uniquely sculpted by the passing of the river and admire a majestic mountain at a distance completing this picture-perfect setting. Finally, explore the area and find petroglyphs carved into rocks centuries ago by our Taino ancestors and sense the connection they had with nature.

This is a challenging tour that requires a certain degree of physical fitness, balance, river trekking skills and basic swimming skills. Closed sturdy water hiking shoes are required.

Utuado

We will head northwest San Juan to the heart of the mountains driving through limestone formations. You will notice the change in the island’s geology, and explore a beautiful, barely known, nature spot. There you will river trek, work out climbing up rocks, and enjoy a secluded water pool protected by rock walls. You will be amazed as you swim by a hidden canyon to a magnificent waterfall. It is truly a spectacular place, full of peace and surrounded by greenery.After this fantastic exploration, the next stop is a stunning canyon made of giant volcanic rocks carved by the passing river, and an impressive mountain at a distance acting as the custodian of this incredible place. Here you will learn about the history, beliefs, and legacy of our natives, the Tainos, and also why this area was sacred to them. Rock boulder and river trek as we explore dozens of petroglyphs carved on the rocks centuries ago, and let your imagination run wild with all the possible symbolisms. There is something mystical about this place; whether it is the feeling of becoming one with nature, the uniqueness of the scenery or the kindness of the neighbors. Utuado will, for sure, become one of your favorite places in Puerto Rico.

Q: Will I get seasick on Utuado Canyon, River & Waterfall Adventure in Puerto Rico?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
