Five unique group outings to do outdoors

Claudia A. Guerrero

Spending time in nature with your favorite people is priceless. Whether you're recovering from a road trip or planning something spontaneous, here are five excursions perfect for groups.

Orocovis
Sendero

Located in Orocovis at 916 meters above sea level, Cerro Mime has one of the most impressive views in Puerto Rico. The hike is a bit challenging, and shoes with good grip are recommended. The cerro is private property, so remember to be respectful and ask permission if you want to camp.

💡 [platea tip]: Allow about 30 minutes for the walk and remember to wear sunscreen, as the hike is in full sun.

What do I do next? If your group still has energy, try the Ruta de la Longaniza for lunch.

Ceiba
Río

When the moment calls for it, a dip at Charco Frío is just what you need to revive and cool off. Take your time at that spot, as it sits on the Río Fajardo, where Las Tinajas, a series of pools that are part of the river, are also found. Surrounded by vegetation on a sunny day, a visit to this swimming hole won't disappoint.

If you're out with a group of friends, make time for a hike to Charco el Hippie, a natural pool with large rocks you can jump from into the water. It's perfect for cooling off and setting up a picnic on the bank. Located in Naguabo, you should check the weather conditions before making the trip, as it is one of the towns where it rains most on the entire island.

💡 [platea tip]: Add a touch of history to your excursion by visiting the Taíno petroglyphs located downstream.

Morovis
Cueva

La Reserva Natural Las Cabachuelas has 60 caves, located in the town of Morovis. Walking the entire reserve takes four to five hours, so we recommend bringing water and light food. The caves are full of archaeological art, and the guides are always enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. El Proyecto Las Cabachuelas is run by a group of Morovis residents with support from the municipality.

💡 [platea tip]: You can make a reservation by calling (939) 450-1295 or by making a reservation through their Facebook page.
Vega Baja
HaciendaProductor de alimentosTour

How about a little agrotourism! Frutos del Guacabo is a company dedicated to producing and distributing agricultural products across the island. Its mission includes educating the public about farm-to-table efforts through guided tours of its farm.

💡 [platea tip]: You can make a reservation by calling 787-884-4216. Visit their website for more information about their initiatives.
