Itinerary
At an elevation of 1, 476 feet (450 meters) above sea level, La Coca Falls is a spectacular waterfall! The waters of La Coca Falls drop 85 feet (26 meters) onto a huge rock formation at the bottom of the falls. This is an excellent spot to take photos.
This 69 foot tower was built by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (former Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF) in the early 1960’s. Four types of the forest can be viewed from Yokahú Tower: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular surrounding with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on the steep slopes) and Cloud Forest (on the ridges) are all visible along with the coastline and all the way to the Virgin Islands on a clear day (10 mile + view). The dense old forest of the Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in the upper Mameyes Valley to the east may also be viewed.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure at the Puente Roto, or "Broken Bridge," recreation site – a hidden gem nestled along the Rio Mameyes' recreation segment. Recognized by Congress as a Wild and Scenic River for its breathtaking natural beauty, this undiscovered haven promises an immersive experience in an undeveloped oasis. Features: Water Wonderland: Dive into the spacious water play area created by the river's width, offering the perfect setting for swimming, wading, and riverside picnics. ️ Location: Discover this pristine retreat at Road 988 km 2.7, where tranquility meets nature's splendor. Safety First: ⚠️ Weather Watch: Stay informed about changing weather conditions and potential flash floods to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit. Leave No Trace: Embrace environmental responsibility by packing out your trash, preserving the beauty of the river. Let's protect this natural haven together!
After the rainforest, we will board the bus again and head to the Luquillo Beach and Kiosks for two hours lunch break or playing in the sand, soaking in the sun's rays... Finally, we will end the day and drive guests back to their initial pick-up location.
