This amazing tour starts with a relaxing drive through the picturesque area of Canovanas to the top of the El Yunque National Forest Park from your San Juan hotel. At El Yunque National Forest Park you will see and experience various rivers, waterfalls and walk through natural trails. This trip takes place on the heart of El Yunque rain-forest which has a path to one of the coolest spots in the park.
The initial hike/walk is a fairly easy 15 to- 25-minute journey up a dirt/rock path. This trail is surrounded by bamboo trees, rain-forest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. The first stop on this hike will be at a collecting pool that forms at the base of a waterfall! People usually take their time here and cool off in the refreshing waters. The 2nd stop will be the Yokahu Observation Tower were we will enjoy a 360 breathtaking view of the forest. In this stop we will have a bathroom stop and a place to get some souvenirs in a little gift shop in the entrance of the tower.
the 3rd stop is the natural water slides, this stop requires more moderate hiking over rocky uneven surfaces. After the hike, you will reach the destination at an amazing natural water slide! The water slide itself is about 20 feet long and it concludes with about a 10 foot drop into a collecting pool! The 4th and last stop is at Casa Boricuba Restaurant in Luquillo. This is a amazing restaurant with delicious and authentic Puerto Rican style cooking. After your Lunch, you will be returned to your San Juan hotel.
