Puerto Rico has some amazing hikes spread around the island. There’s adventure around every corner. One of the greatest viewpoints we saw in all of Puerto Rico was when we hiked Cerro de los Cielos near Cayey. Cayey is a mountain south of San Juan and about an hour’s drive from Ponce. We saw a…
When I think of Puerto Rico, I think of a tropical paradise with waterfalls around every corner. But the reality is that not many people get to see these natural wonders. Chances are that could be you, especially if you don’t travel to El Yunque National Forest. What if I told you there’s another waterfall…
I was searching Google Maps looking for cool activities to do while in Puerto Rico. Las Tinajas Falls came up, and it looked like a good time. There were talks of a rope swing and even a natural water slide! There’s nothing like a good rope swing at the end of a hike. Maybe I…
There are many swimming holes located all around the island of Puerto Rico. Some are better than others. One of the, shall I say, less intriguing swimming holes in Puerto Rico is situated at the end of Angelito Trail called Las Damas Pool. I don’t want to completely bash Las Damas pool just because my…
Puerto Rico is known for its biodiversity and its beaches (of course)! You’ll most likely visit El Yunque when traveling to Puerto Rico. There are many trails to go on in this fantastic park! One of the ones I suggest is hiking the Mount Britton Tower trail! There are a few towers you can visit…
Puerto Rico is full of special places all around you. I didn’t think there were many things to see in Fajardo until I arrived. Boy, was I wrong…visiting La Zanja was one of my highlights here. We stayed in Fajardo for two weeks and only scratched the surface. At first, it felt like just a…
When visiting El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, you’ll have many options for hikes to do. With the temporary closure of some trails (as of 2023), that list has shrunk. Juan Diego Falls is a short, beautiful trail to an epic can’t-miss waterfall. It can be a little difficult finding this trail. It isn’t…
When visiting Puerto Rico, there are some places you don’t want to miss. If you like adventure, then El Yunque National Forest is that place. Some trails in the park are great for the whole family. Others are more challenging that might not be suited for some. One of those hikes is called La Coca…
This is it. The main reason we and many others visit Huaraz in Peru. Besides a few multi-day treks, the Laguna 69 hike is the most popular attraction in the area. With the popularity comes some downsides. Many of these are the number of people at the lake at once from the tours. Thankfully, this…
What if I told you there was a lake bluer than Laguna 69 and was cheaper to get to with a far smaller crowd? Laguna Paron is still somewhat of a hidden gem, even as thousands of travelers flock to Huaraz annually. This lake is located in the Huascaran National Park and is surrounded by…
