Fajardo
Fajardo Overlook – El Yunque National Forest The Fajardo Overlook rewards visitors with sweeping views of the rainforest canopy stretching all the way toward the coast. On clear days, you can see the town of Fajardo and the blue Caribbean beyond. The stop is quick and easy — there’s a small parking area and a short walk to the viewpoint — making it perfect for families, first-time visitors, or anyone looking for a photo opportunity without a long hike.
La Coca Waterfall is one of the most photographed spots in El Yunque — and one of the easiest to visit. Located right off the main road near the entrance to the forest, this 85-foot cascade tumbles over giant smooth rocks surrounded by lush tropical greenery.
Yokahú Tower is one of the most iconic viewpoints in El Yunque. After climbing the winding staircase inside this historic observation tower, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of the rainforest, coastline, and — on clear days — the islands off Puerto Rico’s eastern shore. The climb is short but steep, with several windows along the way where you can peek out at the scenery as you go. At the top, expect cool breezes, great photo opportunities, and a chance to really appreciate the scale of the rainforest below.
Tucked just off the main road in El Yunque, Juan Diego Waterfalls offers a more natural, “off-the-path” rainforest experience. A short, uneven trail leads through dense greenery to the first small cascade and pool — a peaceful spot that feels hidden away from the busier viewpoints.
Bano Grande
Baño Grande is a beautiful, historic stone pool built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s — and today it’s one of the most picturesque stops in El Yunque. Surrounded by towering trees and moss-covered bridges, the site feels like a hidden rainforest oasis. Although swimming is not allowed, visitors can walk around the edge of the pool, enjoy the views, and take great photos of the arched walkway and emerald-colored water. It’s an easy, short stop with a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for learning a bit of the forest’s history while soaking in the scenery.
Luquillo Beach
The Luquillo Kiosks are a lively stretch of more than 50 family-owned food stands and casual restaurants lining the beach just outside El Yunque. Here you can sample a little bit of everything Puerto Rico is famous for — from fresh seafood and mofongo to fritters, tacos, and tropical smoothies — all in a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Each kiosk has its own personality, with some offering ocean views and others playing music or selling local sweets and souvenirs. It’s an easy stop after a day of exploring the rainforest, with options for every taste and budget. Expect a relaxed vibe, occasional crowds on weekends, and delicious local flavors you’ll want to come back for.
El Portal is the welcoming gateway to El Yunque National Forest, offering an easy and engaging introduction to the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. The center features interactive exhibits, short films, and helpful rangers who share tips on trails, weather, and safety before you head deeper into the forest. A raised boardwalk winds through lush greenery, making it an accessible way to experience the jungle scenery — even for visitors who aren’t hiking.
San Juan
After all stops are completed, we will drive back to San Juan and drop off all guests at their original pick up point!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
