The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

Wear sturdy sneakers or hiking sandals (Teva/Chaco/Keens) for secure footing on platforms and small trail sections.

Bring a small dry bag

Keep your phone and camera secure—most guides allow photos but require a strap or dry storage for safety.

Hydrate before you go

The island heat and brief uphill walks between platforms make a full water bottle essential; refill at the meeting point if available.

Know the health limits

Check age, weight, and medical advisories (not recommended for pregnant guests or those with serious back/heart conditions).

Operators emphasize minimal disturbance—stay on marked paths, pack out trash, and follow guide instructions to protect fragile understory and bird habitat.

The property occupies land historically used for sugar and coffee production during colonial Puerto Rico; many plantations include original outbuildings or cleared terraces that hint at that agricultural past.
