Adventure of a lifetime!

Published on Dec, 2024

The hike through El Yunque was amazing! Our guides, Jason and Luis, were so friendly and helpful the entire trip. They were not kidding about the trails being muddy, rock scrambling, getting wet - the hike lived up to all expectations! The trails and water attractions were more crowded than we expected, but everyone was respectful of each other's groups. The bioluminescence was not as bright as hoped for, but we were able to see it. We were also able to see a bunch of satellites overhead! That part of the trip was also very crowded - it was like kayaking on a superhighway! But it was also very fun and well worth it.
