Highlights
  • Canovanas - Traveling East of San Juan we will encounter the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains. Also known to locals as El Yunque. We will visit an area just outside the land managed by the United States Forest Service.

We will begin our hike on an easy slant for the first 10 minutes or so, then we will encounter a more challenging terrain, on a steeper incline, for the next 15 minutes.

You will be asked to wear a life jacket during the hike into and out-of the activity.

Reaching our destination will afford you the opportunity to take beautiful pictures of a pretty waterfall. You can then swim in the pool at the foot of falls. Some may even approach the waterfall and set foot at its base.

The return leg being uphill should take anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes depending on your physical condition. We will make several stops for breathers.

Also included in the experience is a lunch stop at a local family restaurant. Authentic, fairly priced foodstuffs will be served. (Food cost not included.)

10/10 unforgettable experience - Narayan truly went above and beyond all expectations. As someone who has experienced several tours, I truly believe that this is Puerto Rico’s best river tour. This excursion features beauty that can be admired by all, yet posses the ability to test limits. Narayan was born in the Puerto Rican mountains and has spent his entire life exploring them. Narayan is a man who posses true passion for exploring Puerto Rico’s beautiful forests as well as educating others about them. For those who choose to book this tour expect an unforgettable waterfall experience.

Wonderful nature tour with expert guide + stunning views! - Had an excellent tour with Narayan, with stunning views of waterfalls in El Yunque, an invigorating nature hike and wonderful swimming near the waterfall. He was a very knowledgeable guide (nature, history + politics) and took us to less touristy places and vistas, with a great Puerto Rican lunch at the end of the tour. Highly recommend!

Amazing hike/waterfall/swim - For my very first ever airbnb/tour experience with my kids, this exceeded all our expectations! Our guide was friendly, personable, and patient. We had an amazing time with Narayan! The location is magical, I don't know when we will ever get to see a sight like this waterfall again. I am so glad I found a guide that offered to pick us up and take us to this special place.

Amazing time - Amazing experience. Our tour guide Naryan was the best. Hike in was easy pretty much all down hill was about 1/2 mile to get to water fall with three different cliff jumping points. My kids 13 and 15 loved it it. Hike back was little tougher but very manageable the kids blew by it. You will make memories that will last lifetime.

Spectacular Experience - Wow wow wow.! This is my second time booking with Seeing Puerto Rico. This experience was amazing. I was with my family and my brother’s family ages 13 to 48 — 9 total in our group. Door to door it was perfect. The waterfalls were so special and allowed all of to experience the wonder and joy of the rainforest at our respective risk levels. Narayan was an incredible guide.

Puerto Rico 6/24 - This experience was a 10/10! Narayan picked us up from where we were staying and while on the way to El Yunque, gave us the background of Puerto Rico and its famous history. He gave us perfect instructions to ensure we didn’t get hurt and was patient with each and every one of us, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any potential fear. The views were amazing and peaceful as we began our hike and at the end we rewarded ourselves with a nice big jump into the river that refreshed us all. This was my first time in Puerto Rico so i’m grateful that we were able to meet Narayan to give us the best experience of the true island life. Will definitely be returning !
