Natürliche Wasserrutsche Puerto Rico

Wow. How do I begin? Our guide was Francisco, who picked us up at our rental in San Juan. My husband and I ended up being the only 2 people on the trip that day, so Francisco was able to customize it to our needs and wants. We first went to a roadside stand for some tremendous smoothies. Then we parked at a local's home, which gave us the convenience of getting to our destination more quickly than those who start at the congested tourist/group tour parking. Francisco watched the much larger groups (Honestly, I have no idea how you enjoy being in a group of 30 people, waiting in line to do each activity. And how do the guides even begin to keep an eye on everyone!?!?) and timed each activity so we could best avoid the crowds. We hiked, rock climbed, went down natural water slides, jumped from cliffs, did some rope swinging, swam and even tried to do a bit of caverning. Francisco was attentive and friendly throughout, challenging us yet making sure we were also comfortable. Knowing he was well trained in water rescue made me feel safe, even when I was doing something quite adventurous and outside my comfort zone. And I am glad I did so! Francisco directed us not to bring ANYTHING that we would not want to get wet, so we opted just to go in with ourselves and nothing else. Boy, was he right on that one! I saw tourists from the larger tour groups bringing backpacks that they then had to sit out on the rocks while doing their activities. A) Expensive items like phones could fall in the water, B) backpacks were unattended and could have been taken at any point and C) this adventure is meant to be wet and muddy. Why would you want to have to worry about your possessions? Francisco took all our photos and videos on his own phone and then sent them to us. A perfect solution. After our wonderful trip, Francisco gave us each a beer to quench our thirst. Then, it was off to Luquillo Beach and the famous kiosks. Francisco went through every kiosk with us, explained what everything was and helped us to pick out some snacks. We even sat on Luquillo Beach for a little while as we were eating. We finished off the day discussing Puerto Rico and living on the island as we made our way back to San Juan. What a fantastic day! It was worth the price---and the tip that our guide richly deserved. I would recommend this adventure to anyone!
