Best Waterfalls in Puerto Rico
Peurto Rico is an amazing island in the Caribbean Sea and an unincorporated territory of the United States. It is a fantastic holiday destination and also a great place to live almost any time of year!
Once out of the lively capital and largest city of San Juan, you’ll find a landscape of mountains, tropical rainforests, rivers, charcos (water pools), and splendid waterfalls. The Cordillera Central mountain range slices through the middle of Puerto Rico and the rainfall off of the peaks results in a myriad of waterfalls across the island.
Some of these waterfalls can be difficult to find (take a GPS device) and the trails are muddy and slippery. Even agencies that book waterfall tours require you to be physically fit. But if you pack your sturdiest hiking boots and expect them to get muddy, you’ll be rewarded with the beauty and power of nature from the best waterfalls in Puerto Rico, some real hidden gems.
