Your exploration proceeds to Parque Historico Cueva Maria de la Cruz, a cultural immersion into the Afro-Caribbean heritage, complete with music, folklore, and geological insights.
Finally, the tour culminates at the awe-inspiring Catarata La Coca, an 85-foot waterfall nestled in El Yunque National Forest, where you can capture mesmerizing photographs. With additional stops at the Yokahu Observation Tower offering panoramic forest views and the chance to discover more of El Yunque, this tour guarantees a memorable Puerto Rican experience in just one day.
