Vega Baja
Get ready to be amazed, get wet and enjoy some adrenaline almost as soon as this adventure starts. After a few minutes of walking downhill, we will encounter the river where it forms beautiful greenish blue pools and start swimming through a breathtaking small canyon carved by the passing of the river for thousands of years. The rock formations are amazing, unique looking and there will lazily float through the canyon admiring this nature’s gift and later do some river trekking. The more adventurous will have a chance of some optional cliff jumping in areas ranging to 8 to 20 feet and rock boulder to access the upper part of the canyon. Afterwards we will hike through an off the beaten path trail to access some incredible caves where we will swim through them surrounded by stunning flowstone rock formations, bats and a beautiful waterfall. Good physical condition and basic swimming skills are required to complete these activities.

This is a MUST if you are in Puerto Rico!!! Yamile is the perfect guide. The caves were amazing and there were opportunities to jump off cliffs into the water. Yamile brought us to a local lunch spot to enjoy authentic PR cuisine. This was followed by a nature walk to a beautiful spring! I cannot give this excursion enough stars!!!!

This was an amazing trip! The caves and rocks were so beautiful and other-worldly. Floating down the river was pleasant and jumping off the rocks/cliff side was thrilling! Yamile is the best tour operator. She is so knowledgeable, responsible, and kind. She made everyone feel special and welcome, and our whole group (of several families and me solo) all got along so well. She can answer any question about PR, knows all the best places to explore and take photos, and made sure we were all safe while hiking, telling us exactly where to step and place your hands if things get slippery. Her responsibility towards the environment was showcased as she collected others' roadside trash as we hiked out-- just as a public service to keep PR clean & beautiful. I highly recommend taking a tour with Yamile and Puerto Rico as Local! She is the best!

Yamille was such a great guide - so friendly, informative, and fun! She handled all the logistics (including an early start - which is a must to beat the crowds and other tours), showed us some awesome things and some great (optional) jumps! The spring at the end was a nice touch also - and we would have never found that on our own. She picked a great authentic lunch place and explained a lot about Puerto Rican food and culture. In all, I highly recommend this tour.

Yamille was such a fun guide! She was so informative and fun. I highly recommend this tour. Absolutely great value, and she starts early to avoid the crowds and other tour groups. She also picked a great authentic place for lunch that we wouldn't have found on our own, and even gave us some great recommendations of places to stop on our drive to Rincon later in the week. What a great experience!

This is the best tour I’ve ever had in PR. Yamile took really great care of us. We had hiking, swimming, climbing, water-jumping. We had so much fun with her. And she is a good “paparazzi”, capture so many great moments during the tour. And the restaurant she brought us to was delicious. If anybody ask me for advice in Puerto Rico, this is my first thing to recommend. Words can’t express the experience, you have to do it yourself.

Puerto Rico As a Local offers some of the most amazing excursions we’ve ever experienced! We did the Arenales River Caving adventure, and it was hands down the best excursion we have ever done on any vacation. Yamile, the owner and tour guide, is by far the best guide we’ve ever had. I love supporting a woman-owned business, and it was clear from the moment she picked us up that she takes great pride in what she does. She arrived in a beautiful, comfortable, spotless, newer van, and her English is excellent. She was easy to understand and spent the drive sharing fascinating Puerto Rican history, culture, and local information. One thing that really stood out was how she brought the group together. She encouraged everyone to introduce themselves, share a little about who they were, and learn each other’s names. Within minutes, complete strangers felt like friends, and by the end of the day, it felt like we were one big family. Every detail of this excursion was planned and executed perfectly. This is not an easy tour—it requires a good level of physical fitness. There is a lot of hiking over steep, uneven terrain, climbing over rocks, and navigating through the river. Yamile carefully guided us through every challenging section. She demonstrated exactly how to climb or descend, pointed out where to place each hand and foot, and made sure everyone understood before moving on. There was never any guessing involved, which made the experience much less intimidating. I felt completely safe the entire day because I knew she was watching out for every single person in the group. I highly recommend wearing quality hiking water shoes, such as Keen sandals or shoes designed for rugged water adventures. I also recommend wearing biker shorts and a long-sleeve sun shirt over your swimsuit for added comfort and protection. Another bonus is that Yamile is also an excellent photographer. Although I brought my phone and took plenty of pictures, she captured incredible group photos and action shots from angles that none of us could have gotten ourselves. Cliff jumping is optional. I chose not to do it, but several people in our group did and had a blast. Life jackets are provided, which adds another level of safety and comfort. The excursion includes two different river locations with a lunch stop in between. The food was absolutely delicious. Yamile explained the menu, helped everyone order, and made recommendations. I definitely suggest saving room for dessert—they were fantastic! The restaurant accepts credit cards. I cannot recommend Puerto Rico As a Local highly enough for anyone visiting the San Juan area. Whether you choose this adventure or another one of their tours, you’re in excellent hands. I will absolutely book with Yamile again on my next trip. In fact, I would happily do this Arenales River Caving adventure all over again—it truly was that incredible

Yamile picked us up from an agreed location. Once in her van, we could feel her energy until she dropped us off; great positive energy! She kept us entertained, informed, and made us feel at home as a part of her family. The tour was guided entirely by Yamile. She made sure to give us all the details and guidance we needed to truly enjoy the tour... and boy oh boy she did great to tell you that she knew the exact locations of where to grab and hold yourself when climbing over rocks, she knew how to present an entertaining and safe adventure, and was very confident. I felt really at peace with her and absolutely recommend her. At the end, she took us for lunch and had delicious local food and at a very good price too. Before ending the review, don´t worry if you don´t bring a camera on the tour - she is your personal photographer.

Unforgettable experience. Lots of climbing so I would suggest being physically able to climb and swim. Yamile was great super friendly and informative.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend doing any tours in Puerto Rico with Yamile. She has such a vibrant energy, passion for her work, and a way of bringing people together that will make your experience truly unforgettable. I went with a small group of about 9 people (including Yamile herself), and it felt like we entered as strangers and left as friends.
