Unique things to do in San Juan

No visit to PR is complete without experiencing its gorgeous green mountains, lush trails, and natural river pools; specially, feasting on mouth-watering roasted pork at the roadside eateries of the celebrated Guavate Pork Route, acclaimed by Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmerman. You’ve been to El Yunque, want to know a more genuine side of our Island, be the only small group enjoying the spectacular nature, instead of stuck in hordes of tourists? Look no further. Ride a private vehicle from San Juan on a scenic drive up to the Island’s central mountains, thru stunning landscapes. Stop to sample tropical fruit smoothies, homemade pastries, or delicious Puerto Rican coffee. Continue up the famous Pork Highway, thru a Forest located over 2,500 ft above sea level. Take an easy walk through a verdant trail and be awed by the 204 species of tropical trees, flowers and palms. After 10 min reach the famous Swimming Hole, where you can enjoy the pristine water. Continue thru breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, to a little-known spot where we’ll hike 15 min to incredible waterfalls and river pools. Swim, float and bask in the jungle atmosphere at leisure. Finally, stop for lunch at the world-famous “lechoneras”, savor the delicious roast pork, and other tasty local specialties. After an amazing day in the authentic Puerto Rican countryside, ride back to our meeting place in SJU.

Hi! This tour takes you thru the center mountain range of Puerto Rico to one of it's highest peaks, under the famed Tetas de Cayey, for a photo op in one of the most spectacular views Puerto Rico has to offer - swing and PR flag included. Then we head to the original Fountain of Youth of lore - yes, from conquistador Juan Ponce de León - which is in Coamo, the only hot springs on the Island. Magical waterfalls await in the jungles of northern Juana Díaz. Finishing off with Guánica's beach mangroves, with perfect white sand beaches, lots of wildlife for snorkeling. Pickup location is in San Juan, but 99% of the time I'll pick you up where you are, unless there's different groups and the locations don't match - then we'll all meet in a central place. Don't have breakfast - do it with me! We'll eat like locals do in panaderías. Also, I *love* eating in tasty restaurants, so I try to fit one in always if we have time. If not, we'll get quick roadside food. Locations can vary depending on weather. If it's rainy or hazardous, we'll switch locations and go someplace else where we'll have a better time. Food and activity costs not included ($5pp springs, $10 car access to waterfall, $2pp parking at beach). What are you waiting for? Hit that reserve button! If you have any questions, I'll gladly respond to those in a private message.

The outdoors in Puerto Rico have something to offer to everyone, but sometimes the idea of “fun” ends up getting lost when you have to be in a bus with 15 other people doing touristy stuff. As a traveler, you want to see what the locals see. You want to go to those spots where you can only hear the sounds of the whooshing trees and the running fresh water. You want to swim in refreshing crystal clear rivers, and even hike mountain tops the very same day. In this experience, you will see a side of Puerto Rico that will leave you wanting more. You will experience the raw and unfiltered beauty of the island, and make the best out of the day while exploring with me, a born and raised local explorer. We will meet at the established meeting location, and start our adventure from there. Our first stop will be at a secret river in the center of the island. After a short 10-15 minute hike, you will be able to relax in nature, take a refreshing dip in the water, & put all your worries away under a waterfall. After enjoying our time in the river, we will make our way to the nearest mountain top in town, and start our 25-45 minute hike to the peak (depending on the guests speed). After enjoying the scenery & taking pictures (I will be taking lots of photos/videos & sending them to you at the end!) We will start our hike back down, and return to the original meeting point in the city.
