About this experience
This is the most authentic Hike in all of Puerto Rico. This tour is for fit people who arent afraid of a good hike. This tour has it all, amazing views, great adventure, lots of adrenaline, fun and delicious food all in one amazing day. You will be completely off the beaten path and will likely be the only other tourists there as the cities we will visit are in the heartland of the country. Your first stop is in Orocovis, a beautiful quiet little town in the center of the island. There we will hike up Cerro Mime. It is a short but very intense hike. What makes it hard is the steep terrain and hard sun beating down so sunscreen is recommended. After the hike we get to cool off in the most amazing river on the island: Toro Negro River. There we have the opportunity to cliff jump and have even more adrenaline or simply cool off and relax in the nice water. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. If you are fit and healthy this is an adventure you wont want to miss. Guaranteed!

Itinerary and highlights
This is a quick bathroom break before we begin the hike. Also here I recommend you try a local pastry as they are very fresh and delicious. My favorites are the “Quesito”
Our guide will meet you at 1374 Ashford Ave and from there we will drive into the heart of Puerto Rico, to a small town called Orocovis. No tourists come here this is very authentic and off the beaten path. The drive takes us thru the Panoramic Route of Puerto Rico where you will see some of the most beautiful views in all the island. When we begin our hike it is important that everyone is fit enough for a short yet very strenous hike. It takes about 40-60 minutes to summit. Sounds short but it is very intense and under the hot sun at all times. Good fitness is required. During the hike and once you get to the summit you will be blessed by some of the most spectacular views in this country. Cerro Mime is a magical place located in the center of the island. This is a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
After the hike we drive a bit deeper into the island to a town called Ciales. Its a short yet beautiful drive. There we get to a locals favorite: Rio Puente del Cacao. Its a bridge that goes off into one of the most beautiful rivers on the island: Toro Negro River. From the bridge itself we can jump down into the river or simply hike down a set of homemade steps the locals have made. Again, this is a very local and different adventure from anything else that is being offered right now. This is quite easily the most fantastic tour or experience in the entire island without exaggeration. In the river we will spend about 90 minutes. 90 minutes of fun adrenaline or blissful peace. All depends on your personal preference.
The drive In and Out the adventure will be thru the famous “Panoramic Route” of Puerto Rico. This road, although tricky and narrow, offers the most magnificent views of the entire island.
After the whole day of fun we stop at a local restaurant. A true hidden Gem. I would bring about $10-$20 for food depending on your appetite
