Utuado, Utuado, Caribbean We will head northwest San Juan to the heart of the mountains driving through limestone formations. You will notice the change in the island’s geology, and explore a beautiful, barely known, nature spot. There you will river trek, work out climbing up rocks, and enjoy a secluded water pool protected by rock walls. You will be amazed as you swim by a hidden canyon to a magnificent waterfall. It is truly a spectacular place, full of peace and surrounded by greenery.
After this fantastic exploration, the next stop is a stunning canyon made of giant volcanic rocks carved by the passing river, and an impressive mountain at a distance acting as the custodian of this incredible place. Here you will learn about the history, beliefs, and legacy of our natives, the Tainos, and also why this area was sacred to them. Rock boulder and river trek as we explore dozens of petroglyphs carved on the rocks centuries ago, and let your imagination run wild with all the possible symbolisms. There is something mystical about this place; whether it is the feeling of becoming one with nature, the uniqueness of the scenery or the kindness of the neighbors.

This is exactly what I was looking for - I learned so much about the central region of Puerto Rico and saw the beautiful canyon and breathtaking petroglyphs. Yamile our guide gave us a rich history of the Taino community and answered all of our many questions about culture and nature. I love how she blends adventure with a tour that’s tailored to the group. After some swimming, cliff jumping, waterfall sightseeing, and climbing, we wrapped the day with some delicious food.
Definitely do not miss out on seeing Utuado, and especially not this tour with Yamile!

This was the highlight of our trip! Yamile was a fantastic guide, she treats everyone like family and keeps you engaged and safe. Her knowledge of the island and its history and culture are extraordinary.
The canyon, waterfall and the rock cravings with the mountains in the background are breathtaking.
If you are looking for an adventure this is the tour for you.
We came last year and did a tour with Yamile and booked two this trip.
No need for a camera she takes wonderful videos and pictures and airdrops them while you are having lunch.
Thank you again Yamile for a great day.

We went for the Utuado Canyon tour with Yamile. It was the best tour I have ever had. Yamile was very kind, knowledgeable and kept our safety at the highest priority. We learnt a lot about PR history and also enjoyed the nature side of the tour. I would highly recommend the Utuado Canyon tour with Yamile.
