Rainforest River Ride Adventure

It's Time to Start Your Adventure

Discover the magic of the El Yunque Rainforest on horseback, where every step brings you closer to the heart of Puerto Rico’s untamed beauty. Our expert guides lead small groups through lush, winding trails filled with the sights and sounds of the jungle. As you ride, listen to the enchanting symphony of birdsong echoing through the trees, feel the soft breeze against your skin, and take in the breathtaking views of El Yunque’s towering peaks.

The trail is short but steep in places, adding just the right amount of adventure as we navigate down the mountainside. At the trails end, we reach the Espiritu Santo River—a hidden sanctuary tucked away in the rainforest. Carefully make your way down rock steps to explore the river’s spectacular pools. Depending on the recent weather, the waters may be crystal clear and inviting or take on a wilder, more mysterious character after rainfall. Either way, it’s a refreshing and invigorating experience. Take a swim, dip your toes in, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful energy of this sacred place.

The return ride ascends back through the rainforest, offering a fresh perspective of the landscape as sunlight filters through the canopy. We’ll pause at a scenic lookout on horseback, capturing the breathtaking views before continuing our ascent to the barn. From there, we proceed on foot to the observation deck, where you’ll get one last stunning view of El Yunque and enjoy the taste of fresh, in-season fruit picked straight from the tree—a perfect way to end the journey.

Whether you’re an experienced rider or stepping into the saddle for the first time, this experience blends adventure, tranquility, and a deep connection with nature. Rain or shine, the rainforest always has something special to offer, and each ride is unique depending on the season and weather conditions.
