Uniquely beautiful. Even with construction it was peaceful, like taking a step back in time. Early in the day there are very few people and it is nice and cool. Accessible for disabled folks, many of the highlights are very close to the parking.

It was our mistake for coming to this national forest so late (they close at 5pm) but wow. What an incredible place to walk around and walk into. It was a beautiful small hike to the waterfalls and it was just such a pretty view. Next time we come back, we are definitely coming earlier to spend more time here. Such a wonderful place.

Great park!! Very well maintained and it's free to go in! We went to the tower and there was a beautiful view from it. You can drive through the park and stop at the areas you want to stop at. Great place to see the beautiful sceneries and the beautiful nature, and definitely recommend it.

We went as soon as it opened. When we visited the park was free. The only fee that was collected was at the visitors center. To avoid the cruise ship tour buses go early. Head to the back of the park and work your way forward. I really enjoyed hiking in the rain. It’s a beautiful park. Sights for all ages and skill level. Parking and traffic does get tight as the day goes on.

Unforgettable Adventure in El Yunque National Forest I visited El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, and it was truly one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve ever had. The lush greenery, fresh air, and peaceful sounds of nature made it feel like stepping into another world. Whether you’re hiking to a waterfall, spotting tropical birds, or just soaking in the views. The trails were well maintained, and the entire park radiated a sense of calm and wonder. It’s a perfect escape for anyone who loves nature, adventure, or simply wants to recharge. I highly recommend making time for El Yunque it’s a gem that stays with you long after you leave.

The El Yunque Rainforest was so interesting with the weather changing by the minute. We hiked to Torre El Yunque and had sun, mist, rain, downpour, calm, wind, and even clouds all around us. The Visitor Center and Rangers were very nice and helpful. Plus, some beautiful waterfalls.

The rainforest is wonderful. Good for hiking. Some trails are challenged. Some places have no signs to tell the traveler about the trails details.

El Yunque Visitor Center is a great starting point for exploring the rainforest! It’s lush and green, with beautiful views and helpful exhibits. It can get a bit crowded, so plan to go early. We grabbed our raincoats here before heading out — very convenient. A good place to get oriented before hitting the trails! We got all the information, maps we needed here. Restrooms were clean.

Like nothing I have ever seen in my life. We checked out the visitor center which was very informative and they gave us the right information about how to get to the waterfall. Loved it.

Do not purchase visitor center tickets online. It's a scam. One can simply drive up to the gate and pay the forest ranger $8 per person. There's a short and lovely trail below the pedestrian bridge. I emersed myself in the beauty and sounds of nature. Drove maybe 9 minutes to Angelitos Trail. It's approx 40 min hike (stopping along the way to take pictures) to the Rio Mameyes. The water is cloudy from the sand but one can definitely take a dip so bring your bathing suit and towel.

So happy this place was open even during the government shutdown. Bless all you workers. This place was so cool to visit.

Beautiful facility - rebuilt after the hurricane a few years ago. Good start to touring the rainforest.

When purchasing food at the restaurant. Checkout girl requested military id when showing America the beautiful veteran card. They need better training on government policies. Very unfriendly to veterans. El Yunque appears to be run by USDA.

It's a nice place but not worth $8/ person to see. You blink and you're done.

5-star experience! The Luquillo Beach Horse Ride with guide Ángel was incredible. Riding my beautiful horse Rescue through the forest, river, and beach was a dream. Ángel and the team were fantastic. I was also impressed by the exceptional care of the horses and the park's efficient operation. Highly recommend Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park for an unforgettable horseback riding experience!

Horseback riding was fun. Horses are well trained, healthy, and stayed to course. Tour guides were awesome. ATVs was alright, I'd suggest doing the 2hr tour, it should be more exciting. The 1hr was to laxed for me. I like to have fun on the ATVs, this tour was so chill, we never even made it to speeds of 20 unless we fell back some. Our tour guide Jamidel was cool tho and the views at the stops were nice.

Did the UTV this morning for the first time and it was absolutely AMAZING!! Harry was the BEST tour guide (and photographer) He was very informative and you could tell he was so proud of his beautiful island Puerto Rico!! Really enjoyed the tour today and getting to experience the rainforest in another way that wasn’t hiking :) I would recommend this place to anybody visiting PR!!

Easy registration - 10 am horseback for 2 hours with a 6 year old that wasn’t having it. Ashley was freaking amazing talking him down getting him comfy and off we went. Tim and Carlito were friendly, helpful, attentive and knew the history of the neighborhood. Highly recommend!!

This tour was the best. We did the two hours with CARLOS. He was amazing very informative and safe guide. The scenery of this rainforest was nothing less of Amazing. It was nice to see the different type of animals, although same breeds as back home with some differences like the ball with the longhorn, enormous iguanas or salamander, etc.,

What an amazing day. We were on a UTV excursion led by Mark Anthony. He led us through some rough terrain to stop at some beautiful sites. We did the one hour excursion, I wish we would have signed up for the 2-hour trip. It was so much fun. We stopped at a river where we were able to go swimming. This place is packed with so many options. They have horseback riding, ATVs, and go karts. It was so much fun. The staff was great in explaining all the details. We will definitely do it again.

My kids and I did the 1 hour horseback ride in the rainforest and it was incredible! Gerald and Beba were absolute professionals, took excellent care of everyone - but especially the kiddos, took time to take several photos and videos, explain what we were seeing, taught us how to ride properly, and most importantly, shared this beautiful experience with us! I highly recommend this company. Afterwards we went to their gift shop, got snacks, and went go-carting on property. It was an absolute blast and we will be back to enjoy other experiences with them!

WE DROVE WITH NO GUIDES Today we visited Las Pailas Waterfall. The entrance is right off the side of the road, and it felt crowded as soon as we arrived. We paid $10 for parking and $1 per person to access the waterfall. The trail starts with a short concrete path, then you walk along the river for a few more minutes until you reach the first waterfall. There’s a second one just below. The waterfalls are beautiful, and the natural water slides are really fun! But honestly, the place was very crowded. There were a lot of tour groups, loud music, and people everywhere. It was not only a Sunday but also Father’s Day and a holiday weekend—so that probably made it even busier. Because of the noise and the crowd, it was hard to enjoy the peaceful side of nature. One more thing: the place doesn’t have much structure. There are no bathrooms, and no one really welcomes you or gives any kind of orientation. It’s just a house by the road with someone charging at the entrance. For the number of people going there, it definitely feels unprepared. Our tip: Avoid weekends and holidays. Try to go early and during the week for a more relaxed experience.

A beautiful spot and worth a couple hours of your trip to visit. There are two "slides". One is a little more aggressive and rough. The lower one is way more gentle and ends in a pool of water that was refreshing to swim in. A little bit of a current in the pool, so keep an eye on little ones and weaker swimmers - it's very deep in the middle.

We had a great time here! Lots of tour groups coming in and out so if you go on your own you kind of feel like you need to get out of their way/get your slide down in between groups. We were a bit scared of the parking situation but it turned out fine - they do ask you to park on a literal cliff though so be aware of that. Including some pictures of the place to park/area because that was what threw us off the most and hopefully we can help others find it. Quick but steep walk down, good shoes are a must if you plan to scramble the rocks to slide down.

🌴🌳🌲☀️BEAUTIFUL PLACE with great choice to swim go down the rock slide A LOT OF FUN!! ⚠️🚫 CAUTION NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY... CAN BE VERY SLIPPERY NO RECOMMEND DURING RAIN, LOOK AT THE WEATHER 🌨🌩 KEEP EYES👀 IF THE WATER START CHANGING COLOR LITHT BROWN JUST GET OUT AND LOOK FOR A HIGHER LEVEL... Wear water shoes👟, bathing suit preferably to wear shorts 🩳so you don't scratch your skin. NO BATHROOM IN THE AREA Park on the side/ residents area may be paying $5-$10 for the residents keeping eyes on it.... You can bring good snacks and drinks🧃🥤🧋😋 📢BUT TAKE THE TRASH WITH TOU PLEASE 🙏 🙃 BE SAFE & ENJOY🇵🇷 😉

Great time. best $11.00 you will spend in Puerto Rico. Take your time and walk the rocks, find the excluded water pools. The weather was perfect the day I went and the time I spent there was awesome. 😍

Awesome place for a splash. A couple of water rides. Not too long walk from the ride stop. The walk could be challenge if wet.

Wonderful place to visit!! My family had a great time. Remember to bring socks so you won’t fall going up to get to the top of the natural slide. Barefoot, Crocks, and other type of shoes are slippery. Be careful! We paid $10 per car + $1 per person (bring cash!). Definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful beach for everyone!! This is a great place for tourists to visit, with enticingly smooth sands, wash off areas, passing business, and warm waters where you may discover sea creatures like I did!

Such a beautiful and wonderful beach. Easy for families, no huge waves, soft sand, lots of space, and not very crowded.

Probably the best beach I went to during my short stay in PR (Juy 2024). Worth the trip from the airport or San Juan.

Beautiful beach with very nice vendors. All of the people that we met were very friendly! It’s a great place to spend with your family take lots of pictures. We did a jet ski tour, which was such a blast! The area was relatively clean but there was a little bit of trash and I saw a piece of glass out there on the grounds. According to one of my friends, If you need to use the restroom, apparently one of them you have to pay for and the other one is dirty. You’ll definitely see lizards!

Nice beach, it has a big extension of sand, warm water. If you dont a beach umbrella or chairs you can rent them there. If you don't want to carry your cooler, there are different choices of food at the food trucks or kiosks. You have to pay $4 to access the parking lot

We visited Luquillo Beach on a Sunday, so as you can imagine there were a good number of people on the beach. Getting the umbrella and sun bed rental was a little busier than usual because of this. There was somewhat of a line, and we had to wait until some chairs were returned - but this didn’t take much longer than 10-15 mins. I would encourage anyone hoping to visit over the weekend to get there earlier, to make sure that you have less of a wait if you’d like to rent sun loungers. The beach is extremely clean, and is along a beautiful stretch so that you can walk along the sand for a long while in each direction.

I loved this beach. The water is gorgeous, and there are umbrellas and chairs available for rent. The umbrella/chair guys are true professionals. 😁 We ate at kiosko #20, El Terruño. The grouper ceviche was fresh and tasty. I also had the cool opportunity to see a sun halo rainbow, which they said happens once in a while.

This place is filled with a variety of different things to do. I visited Carabalí before but never did I eat at the Bar & Grill. Our waitress was amazing and sweet. She did a fantastic job. The place is nice…there’s a big screen TV and you can see the cooks in the kitchen. Everything was nice and clean including the bathroom. The food however was a different story. The bacalaitos were burnt and the mofongo was not good. I was a bit surprised. I actually expected better. Immediately after I finished eating, I got heartburn 🤦‍♂️. There are other restaurants in the area I would eat at before choosing to dine here. I must say that when our food was served, it looked good. Sadly, looks are deceiving. I would not recommend this place for dinner. However, they may serve a better lunch. Best wishes!

As we finished our UTV experience we stopped to grab a bite to eat on the premises. They were quick to seat us and brought us cold beers. We ordered several appetizers and they were delicious. We ordered the fried mozzarella, alcapurrias, and Bacalaoitos. They were really good, mostly bite size versions.

I came here after my the ATV excursions. I thoroughly enjoyed every meal here. It's such a cute and cozy spot!

This place made their mofongo actually good. Lots of places in Puerto Rico have disappointed but not this place. There are tons of cats which I enjoyed since I love them. Its in a resort so theres horses and you could book to ride them, theres also go carting which was fun and a little gift store. Prices were good and the drinks were good too.

Amazing drinks and food! Yire at the bar was great with us. Very attentive and great to talk to. He made us feel very comfortable. We had a great time.

Came to Carabali for the atv excursion and of course had to stop at the bar & grill and it did not disappoint ! The vibe was amazing , and the micheladas were DELICIOUSSSS , thank you to our bartender Yire for the amazing service !

We went to horseback riding and came to eat after. The vibes were great, immaculate. Yiré treated us with the utmost respect and effeciency along with Josy, such a sweetheart. I recommend anyone in the area to come catch a great vibe as well.

Best kiosko in the Luquillo strip bar none. The arepa is slightly sweet to balance the rich fillings. We got the steak and the shrimp and both were excellent. The salsa that is available on the side is a MUST - it's so fresh and delicious. Moreover, the staff had a great energy and the restaurant is spacious if you want to sit and eat. A great spot to stop by after a beach day in Luquillo. Overall, while most of the dishes along the strip are horrible - this one is a rockstar. Highly recommend.

This is our favorite kiosk! We ordered the stuffed arepas with carne and shrimp! It was so delicious!

Interesting arepas with bun made from churros dough. what is extraordinary in this place? The best shrimps I've ever eaten! When biting slightly, the shrimp pops and the inside is so delicate. Perfectly cooked, like in very expensive restaurant. I recommend ordering the arepa with shrimps!

Man oh Man oh Man! This right here is my swag 😎! This was the first place I ate at while I was visiting and I fell in love. They are only open certain days of the week so make sure you check the schedule. But everything here is delicious. The drinks are made to perfection, and the staff is super friendly. I had 3 tacos and I wish I had more! I can’t wait to visit again!

The Food here was fresh and delicious. I ordered the Arepa stuffed with shrimps ! The arepa was freshly made, nice and light. The shrimps had such a great flavor. I will definitely return. Highly recommend. They even have a vegetarian arepa too! The ladies behind the counter were very lovely and super fast ! The place was busy and they handled it with grace.

Great authentic experience. Corn tortillas and masa made fresh daily. Tacos are worth the try 🌮 We made a second trip back here for the Al Pastor tacos. Also, tried the Steak and Shrimp (surf & turf) Arepa 10/10 🥩 🦐🍤 Also on the menu, ice cream and churro.

Such an amazing experience. Food is amazing. Such a different concept. Puerto Rican style arepas, stuffed like South American arepas. Flavors were exceptional they even added rice and beans in the arepas. The owners are very nice and have great plans for the future. A must stop when in Luquillo.

After almost 10 years of not visiting PR I was back and was referred to go to this place by a family member. As soon as we stepped in one of the servers say hi to us and made us feel welcomed. I have to say that it was a long time I didn’t experience such a great customer service like I saw in this place. They definitely look that they enjoy working in this place. They were also very attentive with us and everyone around us. The coffee! OMG is the best in the area we actually had to go twice because we loved this place!! We had brunch and breakfast and did not disappoint everything was delicious!! If you ever go you have to try the (Playero coffee) it was delicious!!! All of the servers have a great attitude. I recommend this place %100. They need to visit florida to give some training on customer service here!!! Thanks so much I enjoyed the experience at Latin Gyros, We will definitely go back to visit you on our next trip to PR.

It might not be Greek to you, but it could be. Great breakfast and lunch destination with a dash of Greek flare. Portions are generous, and everything is prepared fresh. We enjoyed some tasty Gyros, complete with tender lamb, a savory tzatziki sauce wrapped in a soft falafel. The atmospehere of the restaurant is cozy and contemporary, it feels both comfortable and welcoming. The staff is uber friendly, working to make sure youre well taken care of. Its a great experience, just on the outskirts of the town center, but well worth the walk or drive. If youre in Luquillo proper, it an easy walk and visit, hours are 7-4pm, so make a morning or afternoon of it.

Ignore the restaurant name and let me tell you about how it’s the top 3 spots in PR to get breakfast. We ordered the Latin French Toast, Tripleta Omelette and small order of pancakes. The tripleta was out of this world and the Latin French toast tasted like churros no need for any added syrup. Espresso and espresso based drinks were on par with NYC coffee shops. Service was quick and amazing - very cordial tentative and nice. Ran by locals and they retain that local vibe without feeling touristy. Run don’t walk to these guys!

First time and it was amazing. The wait can be long but pretty fast in seating. The food size can feed Two people.

My wife and I came in to enjoy a quick brunch before our flight home. We were greeted with a smile, and a quick coffee order before checking the menu. The food was ordered and came out nice and promptly. Absolutely amazing taste, portion size and price. We not only enjoyed our food and experience, but made it to our flight, right on time.

I've delayed reviewing this place way too long. While we were staying in Luquillo we were told by many that Latin Gyros was an absolute must stop for food. I want to start by saying the atmosphere was nice and the service was fantastic. Also for those wondering the bathrooms were spotless. Now lets get to the food. Risotto Croquettes - These were basically Italian Arancini balls served with tomato sauce. These things were amazing, I've had these from my Italian wife and had them in Italy and these were as good as any I've ever had. Caesar Salad - This was a miss for me, my wife makes her own authentic Caesar dressing and what they gave me was far from a Caesar dressing. I wouldn't order this again. Lamb Gyro - The lamb meat was cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was great. The dish was huge and the fries were nice and crispy. The Chicken Sandwich - Chicken was cooked nicely and as you can see the sandwich was loaded with cheese, my son destroyed it. The sauce it came with was also very good, but not spicy as the description says on the menu. Skirt Steak Gyro - As the others the meat was cooked excellent and had tons of flavor. One of the best gyros I've ever had. Tripleta Sandwich - I ordered this because it seemed to be a Puerto Rican specialty and I had not ordered one yet. I loved it and could totally see why the sandwich is so popular. One thing not in any of the photos is a pickle hot sauce that was amazing. If you love pickles you have to try it. I wish we would've eaten here more. This place is well known for their brunch. If we return to Puerto Rico we will be giving this place another visit. Kudos to the owner and staff of this excellent establishment.

Delicious! Everything we got had great flavors, perfect texture. The service is amazing; very kind, helpful people. Iced vanilla coffee was good coffee just not super sweet. It's a cozy, cool little place, and the menu is a QR code on your table.
