Amazing guide, beautiful tour - Yamile is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! She combines local insights with cultural and historical facts, as well as some fun nature tips. I especially love how she tailored the adventurous parts of the hike to our group (we learned how to identify cashew, gourd/maraca, and breadfruit plants). Also, she takes great action photos that I’ve already enjoyed sharing with my family and help me remember my special solo trip. One of my favorite parts of this tour was swimming in a cave in the dark with only the sound of the water dripping in the cave. What a great way to connect with nature. Couldn’t recommend a better experience and guide :)

Super Adventure!!! - Get ready for adventure!!! This company is a one woman show with the most energetic, caring, lovely and skillful guides you could ever want for a full day cave and nature excursion. Yamile is a remarkable human being. She drives a new large van for early morning pick-up and immediately encourages socializing and familiarity (“me familia”) among the attendees. We arrive at the path to the entrance of the caves. The 1st half of the trip takes place on two sides of a large cave formation with running water from the mountains. There is swimming, some climbing, some waterfalls and a lot of walking through water. The lighted cave and the moving water is magnificent. Yamile is very careful to provide detailed instructions so that every participant safely passes by any water/cave obstacles at their comfort level. The second half of the trip was lunch at an authentic Puertorican restaurant serving th email staples of chicken, rice, pork and stew. Great food! Lunch is followed by a quick sharing of extra food with some loveable loca, stray dogs (Yamile has a dry kind heart and teh dogs run right up to her). Then we head off for an hour long nature walk where Yamile shows het secret stash of native nuts, gourds and plants. Yamile is extremely knowledgeable and you can feel her respect and love of nature. The trip ends won’t a watering hole and rock/cliff jumping point (If you have the energy!) WHAT TO BRING: My wife bought a bikingshort and swim suit top that protected her legs. This was a great choice. A regular swimsuit with a swim shirt worked for me. Ww both had decent water moccasins like you would use for Kayaking. I would not go with anything open toed. There are many rough and sharp surfaces. Something with a little heft might hav been better. You defiantly want a water proof case for a phone. Yamile does a wonderful job taking pictures, but we snapped a lot of great shots ourselves. WARNING: This excursion is not for everyone. You must be able to climb and swim. If you have flexibility issues or any injuries I would not recommend this excursion. If you are afraid o th dark or afraid of bats, this may not be for you! That said, we felt safe and never felt claustrophobic.

Amazing river and cave experience, with a fantastic guide. Well worth the price. - Tremendous day! Yamile is the best, knowledgeable, fun, attentive. The time on the River, floating, jumping, scrambling up rocks to get to a special view, all of it was amazing, and made better by Yamile’s informative narration. The caves were spectacular. Then an authentic Puerto Rican lunch, (yum!) and on to a nature walk and dip in a spring fed pool. We definitively recommend Yamile, this tour, (puertoricoasalocal.com) and Puerto Rico as a beautiful vacation experience.

Once in a lifetime opportunity - For our first time in Puerto Rico, we’ve done a lot of tours from a handful of companies. This was by far our most memorable part of our trip to Puerto Rico. Yamile taught us and shown us what Puerto Rico truly is at the heart. She went above and beyond teaching us about the history and always made sure we were safe during our treks. The views were absolutely amazing and we want to do Yamile’s other tours the next time we visit Puerto Rico! Thanks again!
