Best adventure hike- leave grandma at home
Ryan aka Papi Chulo made this trip amazing. We had people of all different hiking abilities, he made this kids excited to climb & try new things. This was definitely worth the trip- but maybe next time abuela will sit this out since the hike down is tough for Gmom. Bring water shoes you will need them- forget the towels; it’s a waste to carry them from the hotel. All places that he recommended was perfect for the family.

We had such a great time...
We had such a great time on our El Yunque Rainforest tour! Nathan and the rest of the team were amazing—they made the experience fun, welcoming, and memorable. The rainforest views were beautiful, and getting to explore Puerto Rico this way was a highlight of our trip. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Juan!
