Brief Tour Description:


A licensed tourist guide by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company with a certified driver will pick up the group in a 12-passengers air-conditioned van at the airport, San Juan's pier, Condado or Isla Verde hotel area.  The tour commences when departing from the meeting location. A knowledgeable guide fluent in English will provide general information about Puerto Rico and the forest.

Our walking tour begins at a boardwalk that will lead you into the largest mangrove forest in Puerto Rico.  This trail is rated as very easy in difficulty.  You will be inside one of Mother Nature's oxygen producers.  Surrounded by the "guardians of the coastal terrain and coral reefs" you will relax when listening to birds singing and hear the sounds of the trade winds blowing through the branches.
