Overview

We may be a little biased, but we can confidently say this is one of the most authentic, raw expressions of Puerto Rico you can have in one day,
If you were to search for "Off the beaten path" in the dictionary, this excursion would be displayed next to it!
Journey into Puerto Rico's Cordillera Central to learn about four different chapters of indigenous history, relax in nature, and dive into different sustainable living practices.
This is a unique experience for those looking to appreciate Puerto Rico without tourists around, long lines, away from repetitive tour sites
- Visiting the largest ceremonial grounds in the Caribbean,
- Relax along a serene river
- Indulge in Puerto Rico's "Jíbaro" identity.
- Exclusive access to a completely “off the grid,” permaculture farm for a fresh farm-to-table meal (4 person minimum) to end our day. *groups less than 4 people, farm stop is included but we will eat lunch elsewhere*
