What you'll do
Prepare yourselves to immerse into parts of the Rainforest that you won't see up in the touristy area! You will have the opportunity to sumerge in crystal clear waters, admire the most colorful of sceneries, enjoy beautiful waterfalls, natural springs and swimming areas. We will explore around 2 rivers and ravines that are not usually overcrowded by tourists, filled with magical spots and views where we will spend the afternoon. This experience it's full of adventure and adrenaline: We will climb some rocks, hike, get muddy feet, soak up a lot of sun, and be one with nature for a couple of hours, for which I strongly recommend having some basic hiking experience.
Remember that this experience takes place in a Rainforest, so the weather may sometimes not be on our side.
Other things to note:
Remember that having a good physical condition would be ideal.
Bring extra clothing!
Using sunblock it's highly recommended.
Boots, water shoes or hiking shoes are highly recommended also.
Make sure to bring towels!

Where you'll be
We will visit a couple of rivers in the forest, not very known or frecuented by regular tourists. This part of the forest it's mostly visited by locals and explorers, since it's not in the touristy zone.

BOOK THIS EXCURSION!
The forest and all the sights were absolutely breath taking! Shirley took us on the adventure of a lifetime. The experience was amazing but having such a knowledgeable host like Shirley, really was the cherry on top! I was super impressed by everything about this woman! As we were walking “the unbeaten path” (literally no other tourists in the area! A real “locals only” type of cool vibes) she pointed out a wasps nest and made sure we were careful not to disturb it as we walked past. Felt super safe the whole entire time! *Bonus* Shirley had us cracking up and smiling the whole time! Wonderful personality. I’m booking whatever you’re offering on my future trips! Xoxo

I booked this experience with the hopes to gain an authentic exploration of the rainforest as opposed to a tourist trap. That is exactly what we got and more! Shirley is extremely knowledgable, personable, and her passion for providing these experiences is unmatched! We had such an amazing time with Shirley that we decided last minute to go on another experience with her. We are grateful to have met Shirley, made such incredible memories, and witness breathtaking scenery that she has discovered throughout her life. I will definitely be in touch with Shirley on my next trip to PR!!

This is definitely better than the touristy way to explore el yunque. The locations are beautiful and the hike is rewarding. Shirley knows a lot about the area of the forest and is very knowledgeable about the flaura and fauna. She also takes amazing pictures and videos of you during the hike. Definitely very very worth it!

The highlight of my trip! Shirley is an awesome, experienced guide. You can tell that she loves being in nature, and she leads you with confidence. I can see her being an excellent guide for people who may be less experienced with hiking, as she is able to tailor the experience based on your preferences. She also takes great photos for you. I highly recommend this experience!
