Arenales River Caving, Limestone Canyon Swim and Hidden Natural Spring Hike

This day combines river trekking, floating and caving along the Arenales River, with greenish blue pools, limestone canyons and rock formations carved by the river. Optional cliff jumping of 8 to 20 feet is available. After a few minutes of walking downhill, the group reaches the river and swims through a small canyon, then trekking and floating continue before a trail leads to caves with flowstone formations, bats and a waterfall. An early start keeps the crowds away, and smaller groups follow a certified guide. Lunch is at a local restaurant serving Puerto Rican food, and the cost is not included. The day ends with a short hike in a Nature Reserve in Manatí to a small hidden natural spring with clear water, while the guide talks about the local plants and trees. The tour requires good physical fitness, balance, flexibility, river trekking skills and basic swimming skills. Closed, sturdy water or hiking shoes are required.
