Oh and if you have snorkeling gear take it. Take it everywhere you go. The drive it to waterfalls is a bit scary. So make sure to drive slow and cautious.

AMAZING! This deserves way more than 5 stars, it was the…read moreabsolute best! This was my favorite part about my vacation. The adventure is challenging but extremely fun! You'll be hiking, body rafting, cliff jumping, rock sliding, and everything in between! I cannot stress enough how unforgettable this experience was. Ricardo and his team are beyond incredible. They definitely made this adventure even more exhilarating. They are very welcoming and very fun to be around. The tour even includes food before and after the adventure, which was awesome. I definitely recommend doing this tour if you go to Puerto Rico! Definitely worth my time and money. Amazing experience of a lifetime! *Take hiking shoes and if you don't have any, RENT some from them. You will be sorry if you don't! Also take long sleeve shirt and leggings if possible, you'll get tons of scratches if your arms and legs are uncovered!

I booked a private outing with Ricardo and his team in December 2014…read more After arriving at the teams base camp I observed how prepared these guys were for the day, from all angles, including safety as well as fun. The entire tour from the maintenance of the private trails to the coordination of activities was expertly handled. Throughout the day I did things not experienced for decades like jumping off 40ft waterfalls, repelling down rock faces, and body sliding down natural water slides. I brought my young son along for the adventure and here again these guys shined in a big way, Fernando specifically paid extra special attention to his safety but also making sure he had a great time. The expertise in safety and the detailed oriented planning put into this adventure allowed me to do what I came to do - have fun, without fearing injury or harm to my young Son. These caliber of activities (some might call them "extreme") would not usually instill such a feeling of calm and safety in me - or most people in general. This was the best tour of any kind that I've ever been on. If you love nature, hiking, andwater do it. It's the best money you'll spend on a tour.

If you are this type of thrill seeker, a trip to PR would be wasted without booking a tour with these guys. Everyone can hike in El Yunque, but you can't repel down the waterfalls... you can with Altura on their private mountain! If you love adventure, water hiking, climbing/scrambling and repelling, don't leave PR without this tour.

Bottom line: 100% worth the hike. I'd say it's a low level, but that's sort of age dependent, do…read moreexpect some difficult areas and mud. Length is about 10-15 mins. There might be a line. Long line: stopped at La Bellota to park. This seems to be the norm and as long as you get a Medalla from the bar no one will complain. You have to go around a gate, and from there the hike is like 70% downhill (so more fun coming back). Expect a decent amount of mud and slippery areas. For reference, my 70ish in laws made it with minor balance assistance. The spot has gotten really popular so if you notice in the first picture there was already a line forming behind us..... on a Wednesday. Make sure to get a tetanus shot before coming; rust everywhere.

El estacionamiento lo están arreglando bien bonito abajo antes de entrar a La Marquesa, en donde te llevan en guaguita con aire hasta allá arriba.

Pregunté si puede traer su propia silla de rueda! _______________________________________________________ As I stated above in Spanish, I went to "La Marquesa" in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico with my grandma yesterday around noon! The sun was shinning and everything looked beautiful (pictures attached from nature!) We had a great evening my grandmother and I! We ate and we soaked up the sun, surrounded by nature! We saw the butterflies and all of the different birds they had! They were super taken care of. Their habitat was beautiful! We then got on the cable car to go up the mountains and the view was amazing! We then went down the mountain on a fun tractor, good for kids, families, and the elderly (if able to walk with minimal assistance). They took us back to the parking lot, which they are fixing very nicely! Overall, the experience was GREAT! Good for adventurous families, single, or couples, wanting to do something nice and spend some time with family! Like I did with my 82 year old grandmother. Thank you! - PS.

From the pickup to the drop-off, everything was seamless and well organized. But what really made this experience unforgettable was our tour guide, Orlando. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the rainforest, its history, wildlife, and ecosystem, and he made the entire adventure both fun and safe. Orlando guided us through natural water slides, cliff jumping, rope swings, and swimming spots, making sure everyone felt comfortable and secure every step of the way. The day was packed with adventure, laughter, and amazing memories. He also did a fantastic job bringing the group together--we all connected, mingled, and had a great time as if we'd known each other for much longer than a few hours. If you're visiting Puerto Rico and considering a trip to El Yunque, I cannot recommend Spot In Tours enough. And if you have the chance to tour with Orlando, take it--you won't regret it. I'll absolutely be booking this tour again the next time I'm back in Puerto Rico.

Here was our experience. EXPERIENCE: Parking: As usually advised, come early. This is no hidden gem so this picks up fast. Other alternatives is carpooling or arrange a tour. Depends on where you stop, but parking fills up FAST. Come early if you want the better trail access and less stress. Visitor access is managed largely because of parking limitations Vibes: The feelings from the temperature and energy changes. One night we were partying the streets of Santurce, next we we're in this chill and calm quiet area. There are paved scenic stops, short walking trails, and engaging areas such as waterfalls and river areas. You really can make it as adventurous as you want. OVERALL: 5 Stars. What's there to hate about this place? Maybe it can get super crowded but aside from that, it's a beautiful Puerto Rico experience. Whether you want waterfalls, hikes, scenic drives, or just to disconnect for a few hours, this place delivers. After that, you're not too far away from Luquillo Beach! Tips: * Go EARLY for parking and lighter crowds * Bring water shoes or shoes you don't mind getting muddy

We rented a car but some other people on our tour group were picked up by Verdeazul for the adventures. Adrian even helped us get connected to a vet when we found a sato (Puerto Rican slang for a street mutt)! We have the most memorable memories from this trip thanks to the guys at Verdeazul! We strongly suggest booking something through them and would recommend it to all our friends and family. They take all the photos for you and email them to you so you don't have to worry about trying to capture the moment and enjoy it at the same time. Not to be missed!
