JungleQui Zipline Park: 9 Carbon-Fiber Ziplines and Rappels in El Yunque
Soar over El Yunque on nine carbon-fiber ziplines and two rappels in a compact, 90-minute canopy tour. This family-friendly experience combines rainforest views, certified guides, and easy logistics near Luquillo.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Platforms and short approaches can be slick; closed-toe sneakers or light hiking shoes provide traction and protect your feet during rappels.
Bring a lightweight rain jacket
Showers are common and the operators rarely cancel for rain; a packable rain shell keeps you comfortable between zips.
Know the weight and health limits
Maximum weight is 275 lb and minimum age is 8; travelers with heart conditions or pregnancy should not participate.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Bring a refillable water bottle and sunscreen — humidity hides sun exposure during gaps in canopy cover.
