Wonderful day
Great place to spend some time, has two water falls with easy access, the smallest falls has a rope swing. You can swim at either fall. Kid friendly, full bar with great local food and great service. Prices are very cheap.

El Mina is currently closed due to Covid
Unfortunately, El Mina is currently closed. I’m guessing it’s due to covid 19. The other hikes and falls were open in El yunque however. The park ranger was saying that it would open some time in 2021…. 😟

Don’t miss this natural wonder!
One of the highlights of our trip! This is not easy to find but worth the effort! I read plenty of reviews and followed the advice of others. Us google maps to get there and slow down at mile marker 5.2. There is a guy on his front porch that will direct you on where to park for $5 and then will show you the path to get down. Once into the rainforest, it is wet and slippery. The walk is short but steep and when it opens up to the waterfalls and boulders, it is absolutely beautiful! I suggest you watch people go down the slide and if you’re lucky enough to have a local explain how to go down, it helps. The rocks are slippery and the slide is scary the first time so proceed with caution. I only did it once but my kids went multiple times. There is a lot to explore above the waterfall slide as well as below. We spent about 3 hours here and enjoyed every minute!

Big falls at the top of a steep climb
Only big waterfall open in the park as of end of August 2022. Go past all the small ones and keep climbing to get to the big one at the top where few people go. The path is the right and then at the “Y” go left where you will see a rope protecting the edge. Just over that hill, is the big falls.

Amazing river experience!
This was a highlight of our week in Puerto Rico! We were among very few tourists, mostly locals. There is a man offering $5 parking at his house just two minutes downhill from the entrance to the water, but from what I could tell, the limited parking at the top was free. There was an older, local man who is clearly passionate about the area showing everyone different ways to get closer to the waterfalls, where to jump, how to get to the petroglyphs (just very carefully climb the boulders down for a while on the left side and you’ll run into them. We were here for HOURS and loved it so much.

“Great experience”
The trip started by meeting up at a central location to meet with our guides Christian and Che. (great guys, informative and pleasant). From there we followed them in our car to the forest Guajataca where we hiked for about 45 minutes. On our way we encountered a Puerto Rican Boa( not poisonous by the way). We arrived at the viento cave and descended some stairs into the cave. The cave had beautiful formations of stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones. There was even some Quartz! There were able to see a Coqui, Crab, and spider. We heard the bats but were not able to see them. After that we were treated to a wonderful Puertorican lunch before heading back for a ride to a pretty river and waterfall. Bring plenty of water and good walking shoes. Water shoes are a good idea for the river.

Adventure is out there!
Go to the spot google takes you. Park on side of rd and look for trail thru woods just past the cat house. It is a bit challenging but well worth it. You may swim in the top pool under damn, a small ‘hot tub’ area is there as well. Use caution swimming in this pool, as the current is strong and could take you over falls. Hike along makeshift trail to the bottom. It is safe to jump off rocks, but you must know what is under the water. Try swimming to the falls. Fun to do. This place is beutiful!

Cascadas más hermosas de Puerto Rico

Hay mucha diversión y aventura en las cascadas de Puerto Rico.

Camina al aire libre y relájate a la orilla del río.

Cuando piensas en una isla del Caribe, lo primero que te viene a la mente son playas impresionantes, tomar cócteles de frutas y relajarte bajo el sol. Pero, más allá de las costas de Puerto Rico, puedes encontrar algunos de los paisajes naturales más espectaculares que esta Isla tropical tiene para ofrecer.

Si tienes un alma aventurera y una mente atrevida, la Cordillera Central y la Sierra de Luquillo deben estar en tu itinerario de lugares para visitar. La cadena de montañas que atraviesa el centro de Puerto Rico y la costa este, respectivamente, está repleta de arroyos, cuevas y sí, ¡cascadas!

Camina hasta el río para desconectarte del resto del mundo… ¡al menos por un rato! Respira la frescura de las montañas y disfruta de las vistas panorámicas del Caribe. ¡Disfruta de una agradable caminata a través del bosque tropical o conduce por la Ruta Panorámica y termina tu viaje bajo una refrescante cascada!

¡Los toboganes naturales son muy divertidos! Asegúrate de usar zapatos resistentes. En la foto, Charco El Hippie en Naguabo.

Aviso: Ten en cuenta las condiciones climáticas al planificar un día en el río o las cascadas. Las fuertes lluvias en los arroyos superiores pueden causar inundaciones repentinas. Discover Puerto Rico no recomienda saltar desde rocas altas o columpiarse de enredaderas y cuerdas cuando visites ríos y cascadas.

Nota: Caminar río arriba para llegar a las cascadas puede ser resbaladizo, rocoso y fangoso, así que asegúrate de usar zapatos resistentes, llevar agua potable y empacar liviano.

Cuanto más alto subes en la Cascada Juan Diego, más grande se vuelve la cascada.

Cascada Juan Diego

Una cascada escondida en el bosque tropical, ¡eso es lo que llamamos magia! No solo una sino tres cascadas conforman el Salto de Juan Diego o “Charca Juan Diego” en Río Grande. Una corta caminata por el lado de la carretera principal del Bosque Nacional El Yunque conduce a una impresionante piscina natural con una hermosa cascada en la que puedes zambullirte. Hay algunos conjuntos pequeños de cascadas a lo largo del sendero, pero cuanto más alto vas, más y más grandes se vuelven las cascadas. El lugar más popular de Juan Diego tiene un área de picnic natural adornada con una cascada de 20 pies de fondo, pero más arriba hay una cascada menos concurrida, incluso más grande.

No se pueden ver las cascadas de Juan Diego desde la carretera, y no son parte de ningún viaje guiado, por lo que hay un aire de misterio y secreto alrededor de Juan Diego. Para llegar, debes estacionar tu automóvil al costado de la carretera alrededor del kilómetro 10 de la PR 191 — presta atención a la rotulación.

Date un chapuzón en un río a lo largo de La Ruta Panorámica. El Chorro de Doña Juana en Orocovis.

Chorro de Doña Juana

Con su “lugar de nacimiento” localizado en el Bosque Estatal de Toro Negro, puedes ver esta hermosa cascada de tres niveles a lo largo de la Ruta 149 de La Ruta Panorámica a través de Orocovis, Ciales y Villalba. Doña Juana es un lugar ideal para tomar fotos y refrescarse con un chapuzón en el estanque de abajo. Para llegar al fondo de la cascada “parecido a una piscina”, debes caminar hacia abajo, o más probablemente, bajar por el costado del puente, así que ten mucho cuidado. No hay instalaciones alrededor de esta atracción natural, así que ten en cuenta tu entorno cuando pases por la cascada. Esta puede ser una parada rápida para respirar el aire fresco de la montaña antes de dirigirte al bosque para hacer senderismo y explorar.

Salto Curet es uno de los escenarios más llamativos de Maricao.

Salto Curet

Una cascada fuera de lo común pero accesible es Salto Curet, muy popular entre los lugareños y la gente de Maricao. Un ambiente único y etéreo rodeado de los sonidos de la naturaleza es lo que te espera al final de una caminata de 15 a 20 minutos río arriba. Las aguas cristalinas del río no son muy profundas, lo que hace que la caminata a la cascada sea muy placentera, ¡pero asegúrate de cuidar tus pasos! La cascada se divide en dos y mide unos 100 pies de alto de arriba a abajo. Algunos dicen que es una de las cascadas más mágicas de la Isla porque invita a detener la vida agitada y tomar el aire fresco… y además es un lugar apartado.

Las Tinajas

Es posible que conozcas la costa este de Puerto Rico por sus hermosos amaneceres y sus impresionantes playas. Pero, enclavado en las montañas de Fajardo se encuentra el amado río Charco Frío y dos cascadas naturales convertidas en toboganes llamadas Las Tinajas son parte de ese arroyo. Para llegar a Las Tinajas, se necesita un espíritu aventurero, ya que tendrás que caminar entremedio y alrededor, a veces por encima, de algunas rocas. Después de una caminata de 20 a 25 minutos, encontrarás el primer lugar de Las Tinajas, una piscina natural profunda y extensa donde puedes nadar y disfrutar de algunas pequeñas cascadas en el barranco. Si continúas río arriba, encontrarás una segunda piscina donde podrás nadar y deslizarte una y otra vez.

Cascada La Canoa

¡Aventúrate a un lado menos conocido de El Yunque! Evoca a los espíritus taínos y dirígete al río El Hippie en Naguabo, donde encontrarás cuevas, petroglifos y, sí, ¡una cascada! Accesible por vía pública, este río y cascada conocida como La Canoa son parte del único bosque subtropical en el Sistema Forestal de los Estados Unidos. Aún así, no se llega por la entrada principal de El Yunque en Río Grande. Enormes y suaves rocas rodean El Hippie o El Salto (como lo llaman los lugareños), y tiene una gran área de picnic. Hay un área de estacionamiento disponible para los visitantes, y se requiere un poco de caminata para encontrar las Cataratas de La Canoa. A lo largo de los años, la cascada abrió un desfiladero a través de las rocas y tiene la forma de una escalera en el fondo del estanque.

La Cascada Las Delicias está ubicada entre Ciales y Jayuya.

Las Delicias

Como sacado de una película llena de hadas y criaturas encantadas del bosque, Las Delicias entre Ciales y Jayuya es tan impresionante como mágica. La mejor parte es que se puede ver desde la carretera y el acceso es una caminata de cinco minutos sin esfuerzo. Esta cascada se encuentra dentro del Bosque Estatal Tres Picachos y tiene un pequeño estanque para sentarse y disfrutar de las frescas aguas del río. El agua cae en cascada sobre una pared de roca cubierta de musgo y helechos. Al igual que las cascadas de Juan Diego en El Yunque, es un lugar de múltiples cascadas, y cuanto más alto subes, más grandes se vuelven. ¡Asegúrate de traer tu cámara para capturar la magia!
