Explore The Mountains - Hiking and Waterfalls Puerto Rico
What to Expect
The perfect choice if you want a cool ’Nature Off The Beaten Path Hike, Panoramic Views, History, & Countryside Food. This is a different version of another experience called "INTO THE MOUNTAINS HIKING, WATERFALLS & COFFEE". On this tour, we focus mainly on the hiking portion of the tour and not on the coffee part.
An authentic off-the-beaten-path hiking experience, we will venture into the Central Mountain Range of Puerto Rico, enjoying a beautiful panoramic view through the countryside before reaching our EXCLUSIVE AND PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE (Yes!, we are the only ones at the location).
This breathtaking off-the-beaten-path hike, suitable for both beginners and seasoned hikers alike (Hiking Level - Off The Beaten Path - Moderate with some Challenging sections - some steep hiking and river trekking sections - Suitable for all Physically Fit People) will lead us through a beautiful nature reserve. Emotions come alive as we immerse ourselves in the subtropical humid forest and venture our way to meet an old centenary native tree at the top of the mountain, more than 300 years old. After that, we will continue our journey, visiting beautiful and unique waterfalls, one of which is 150 feet tall. Before reaching the trail's end, we will stop in a natural pond surrounded by a lush landscape where we will serve Freshly Cut Tropical Fruits.
After a great day, you will get to enjoy a savory Puerto Rican meal
(This hike is tucked away close to the Highest Rainforest Reserve in Puerto Rico, Toro Negro Reserve, Bosque Estatal Tres Pichachos, and the Highest Peak in Puerto Rico Cerro Punta in Jayuya.)
After a great day, you get to enjoy a savory Puerto Rican meal in the countryside (with an amazing panoramic view of the central mountain range of Puerto Rico) and you will want to come back all over again...
