Explore the rainforest on a journey full of history and natural gems. Drive yourself to meet your guide in Fajardo, where you'll follow your guide into El Yunque Rainforest.

Visit the East side of El Yunque Rainforest and enjoy a 30-minute hike to the first waterfall. Admire the landscape, swim, rope swing, or free dive from multiple heights.

Further up after a 15-minute hike, there is another watering hole with a waterslide and cliff jump into the river. Learn about the rainforest’s history, iguanas, guava trees, bamboo, and century-old trees.
