Resurgencia Cave, Camuy (1 day): The world underground, $90 p/p

If you are looking to disconnect from the daily grind, immerse yourself into the insides of the Earth and come out soaking wet in complete ecstasy, Resurgencia Cave is the place for you. Resurgencia Cave is located in Don Juan's farm, a happy troubadour whose pool table still costs 10 cents and whose cooler is always well stocked. Dressed for adventure, and with our backpacks on, we will begin our trek through haystack hills till we reach a beautiful limestone cliff. There we will rappel 60 feet to the river, which we will follow to the entrance of the cave. The cold water and the incredible feeling of being in the bottom of this canyon will enhance our excitement. We will walk, swim, and body raft till we come to the entrance of the underground world. In the cave, mystery and adventure are accentuated, and in complete darkness, you will be dreaming with open eyes. We will encounter clay slides, surreal pathways, and an immense hall created by the collapsing rocks. Then we head back to the thundering river, which will take us floating back to the beginning of this adventure. The magic of the Camuy River will baptize us over and over with the energy and happiness that we need in our daily lives. The gift that we will receive from nature is the confidence gained through your own effort and those of your partners.

The Tanamá River: The butterflies trail, price varies.

The island of Borikén is famous for its many natural beauties. The Tanamá River is the greatest proof of its magic and greatness. Born in the Caguana barrio in Utuado, and ending in Aguas Frías spring in Arecibo. This trip is of more than 13 km. of scenery that is very difficult to put into words. Maybe its 7 cavernous openings or its cliffs of melted limestone of more than 200' of height could be better captured by great metaphors of a poet. To me, the Tanamá river is more than all this: Its refreshing waters, its hyperbolic nature, its countless water springs, its gothic caves, its hallucinating valleys, its coquis at noon.... It is a place where adventure, surprise, and mystery never end. The spectrum of possibilities is immense, you may choose to explore all of it for 3 days, or go into details in 2 trips of one day each, which will make you want to go back and finish what you started.
Requirements: The complete route is 3 days and 2 nights. It has to be discussed depending on the number of participants.

Tanamá River, Utuado (1 day): Taino expedition, $90 p/p

Once we reach the barrio Caguana we will go into the remote lands of Don Juan. Where the road ends, our trip begins. Step by step we are swallowed by the forest, until we reach and impressive cathedral, the Arch Cave (Cueva del Arco). This cave takes its name because the Tanamá River runs through the haystack hill creating a giant natural arch. Our vertical descent (rappelling) begins inside the cave, at 150' of height, towards the river. It is a completely free drop from which both sides of this majestic arch can be seen. We will reach the water with an enormous amount of adrenaline that will take us up stream till the next amazing cave. The Tunnel Cave is literally a rocky tunnel of about 200' long, in which the river covers all of its margins. As a reward and with our bellies full, we will float downstream in a wonderful body rafting. Little by little to the rhythm of our steps, we will say goodbye to this fantastic environment, till next time...
Trip includes: Hiking, rappelling, body rafting, transportation, equipment, and guides, lunch is optional.
Requirements: A Minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 14. Rates for smaller groups can be arranged separately.

Tanamá River, Arecibo (1 day): Over the observatory, $90 p/p

Welcome to the trail of the butterflies and greenness, a magical place that will make us forget the concrete world. The trip begins in the parking lot of the Arecibo Observatory, then into the woods were we will disappear between the haystack hills until we get to the refreshing and energizing Nepo Valley. Within listening distance of the river, under a great breadfruit tree or in a dwarf forest next to a cavernous water spring, we will make our base or camp. In the river, with lifejackets and helmets buckled, waterfalls, swimming, water holes, and a cliff dive from 15' to 25' high await us. Don't worry, knowing how to swim is not a requirement and the jump is optional. The water excursion runs through cliffs and caves that show us the mystery and greatness of Mother Nature. Tired and in complete ecstasies we will say goodbye to the river with the joy and the satisfaction of having shared a 100% natural experience by the strength of our footsteps.
Trip Includes: hiking, body rafting, caves, rappelling (optional), transportation, and guides, lunch extra.
Requirements: A Minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 14. Rates for smaller groups can be arranged separately.

Reach for the Sky, climbing and more, Ciales (1 day): $85 p/p

Reach for the Sky is only for the strong at heart, who love the rush of being suspended in the air or stuck to a rock wall more than being on your feet as ordained by gravity. With the morning dew we will begin exercising our fingers and stirring our minds to reach well over 100' in a vertical rock wall. It will be a physical and mental challenge that will allow us to enjoy incredible scenery (you do not have to be a rock climber to participate). After taking our bodies to the limit, we will go to Mata de Plátano Bridge to experience flight. While tied to a rope and swinging like a pendulum from one side to the other under the bridge, with the river and the cliffs as our background, you will certainly fly. You could not inject more adrenaline into your body in one shot, again and again, tied African style (by your feet) you will jump into the air until your mind screams, stop! Afterwards we will cool our bodies in the Ciales River and stop by one of the local kiosks to sample the Puerto Rican mountain local cuisine.
Trip Includes: Rock climbing, rappelling, pendulum, equipment, transportation and guides.
Requirements: No previous rock climbing experience is needed but a good physical condition is required. Safety is the number 1,2 and 3 priority of this vertical trip. Minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 14. Rates for smaller groups can be arranged separately.
