Hike for a half hour to immerse yourself into the forest ecosystem down the big tree trail of luscious flora. Immerse in the cool waters and feel the water pressure on you to relax before moving on to another activity.

The waterfall that takes your breath away. After a 35-45 mins hike through the rain forest you will fall in love with this amazing waterfall. Be prepared with snacks, water bottles and wear tennis or sneakers!

Be sure to leap into the cool waters at the base of this 35-foot cascade. “Another must-see within the El Yunque Rain Forest, visitors may take either the La Mina Trail or the Big Tree Trail to access a waterfall that should most definitely be on a postcard. Hikers may even swim in the pool at the bottom of the falls. There is no fee, but be advised that it can get pretty crowded.” Tips: • Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the rocks can be a bit slippery. • The La Mina Trail is the shorter of the two trail options, but it does get a bit steep in places. • Visit the Ranger Station at the head of the La Mina Trail to get a map. Plan to stay: 1-2 hours
