About this experience
This is El Yunque and Luquillo Beach the way locals do it. A guide born and raised in Puerto Rico leads a small group to two hidden natural waterslides and river pools that most visitors never find. You'll hear the stories behind the rainforest's plants, rivers and history along the way. The day ends at the famous Luquillo Kiosks, where your guide shows you where locals actually eat.
Your local tour guide leads an easy, beginner-friendly hike through lush trails to two natural waterslides and cool river pools. Slide over smooth rock, swim beneath a waterfall, or simply relax by the water at your own pace. Sliding is always optional, and your guide explains every step so you feel safe and comfortable.
Next, head to Luquillo Beach for free time on the sand and a stop at the Luquillo Kiosks. Your guide will point you to authentic local favorites like alcapurrias, bacalaítos and fresh tropical drinks.
