Description

Explore Puerto Rico’s Exotic Beaches, Stunning Waterfalls, & Tallest Statue!

A perfect experience for nature lovers and those looking to get off the beaten path in Puerto Rico. Your journey begins at the Birth of a New World monument, the tallest sculpture in North America, followed by a quick ten minute drive to a black sand beach in Barceloneta, one of only three in Puerto Rico! After that, you’ll head to Manatí to visit Mar Chiquita Beach, where you can either swim or hike to an incredible ocean-facing rock formation along a trail that even very few locals know exists.
Next, you’ll stop for lunch at one of the island’s top restaurants in the center of the island: Don Carlos. After lunch you’ll be driven through the narrow and twisted roads of our state tropical rainforest, the Toro Negro State Forest. During the drive you’ll be able to experience the rural countryside as it transitions into the island’s highest cloud forest, an area of greenery and dramatic landscapes. 
In Toro Negro Tropical Rainforest, you’ll visit what is perhaps the most beautiful waterfall setting on the island: Cascada Las Delicias. Here, you’ll have the chance to swim in the purest waters of Puerto Rico and breathe in the crisp, clean mountain air. To cap off your adventure, you’ll visit La Piedra Escrita in Adjuntas, a remarkable rock art site in the Saliente River, featuring dozens of Pre-Columbian Taíno petroglyphs.

Is this tour what I am looking for?

If you are looking for a professionally curated and proven Beach Tour and Tropical Rainforest tour with marvelous spots for instagram worthy pictures and be off the beaten path and make the most out of your time and money, look no further!

Where will I be picked and dropped?

You will be picked up and dropped off in Condado at 1055 Ashford Ave, in the Condado Vanderbilt Valet area, or behind Walgreens if coming in a cruise so you do not have to get a taxi or Uber to go to some spot in Old SJ and then guess where to find your guide or stand among hundreds of people coming off the ship trying to find your guide.

Will there be a language barrier between me and my guide?

No chance of that happening, you will get a fully bilingual professional guide during all the experience.

Will I see only a portion of the Rainforest and then be on my own?

The beauty of this tour is that it takes you through the Tropical Rainforest in a way you can't in el Yunque National Forest, seeing our countryside and discovering our central mountain range until we get to Las Delicias waterfall and La Piedra Escrita, our final destination in the Tropical Rainforest.

What makes this tour different from other Rainforest tours?

This tour gives you the 2 most impressive inland natural wonders among things to do in Puerto Rico Tropical Forests as a tourist: visit our best example of a Tropical Rainforest, Toro Negro and do Las Delicias waterfall and La Piedra Escrita, this tour you get an to see the Puerto Rico very few ever see, so it's designed to have a slow pace and have you learn about the history of the island but more so discover 5y places very few know and go under the radar when they are true must do places in our island.

One thing we have seen over and over is after visiting Toro Negro and El Yunque most people realize how amazing is to do Toro Negro Tropical Rainforest without the crowds El Yunque National Forest attracts and how better experience is to do a waterfall either by yourself or maybe 2 or 3 other people there vs 100s of people.
