Recharge and take a dip. Explore the Island by visiting any of these five rivers with natural waterfalls.
How do I get there? This spot is inside El Yunque National Forest, on the boundary line of Ceiba, Naguabo and Fajardo. To get there you have to walk the trail that leads to Charco Frio first. The hike is suitable for most people and is very pleasant and relaxing.
After reaching Charco Frío, you will pass through several paths before arriving at your destination.
Where do I park? To drive to Las Tinajas, you will have to pay for parking depending on which lot you use.
How do I get there? If you use the Google Maps pin, you will arrive at a parking area with a sign that reads Charco Las Pailas. The lot is not managed by any company and costs approximately $5. Since the entrance to the Charco is near the yard of a house, you can access a type of trail created by the owner himself.
The walk is fairly easy and takes about three to five minutes.
How do I get there? In addition to the shorter waterfalls, if you are feeling adventurous, at Charco de las Pailas itself you will find a waterfall of about thirty feet. To get there you have to climb a rocky area to the left of the shorter waterfall, which measures about 15 feet.
How do I get there? This little gem is located on the Río Guayo de Juana Díaz. To get to La Ollita, use the Google pin for Salto Collores first. When you arrive you will need to pay between $5 and $10 for parking.
After a short walk and finding the Salto, you can climb up the side of the waterfall to reach your destination, a natural pool with a waterfall.
How do I get there? This spot is known as Tres Chorros and Cascada El Survivor. You can park on the other side of the bridge and walk to the start of the trail, where there is a blue mark on a post.
We recommend wearing athletic shoes, as some areas can be slippery. At the start you will find a river with a natural waterfall, but you can keep walking to the next stop to reach the cascade.
