Welcome to the soul of Puerto Rico!
Our “Magical Mystery Tour” is coming to take you away, off the beaten path through private access to a secluded Rainforest Paradise where no other travelers go…
Our indigenous Taíno ancestors considered these lands sacred because of Atabey (“The Goddess of Fresh Water”), the source of life. Our magic waterfall is like no other in the island. Born in the rainforest mountain peaks, the power of the waterfall has carved a canyon of igneous volcanic rock which provides the surreal setting for an adventure playground; from wild swimming, floating inside the canyon under the jungle canopy, to cliff jumping off the rocks, meditating with the sounds of the waterfall, relaxing on the hot stones, an optional therapeutic mud bath, bathing under the 40 foot waterfall and more…
Come with us explore the hidden magic of our island “La Isla del Encanto” Puerto Rico. Guided by professional world traveling local guides who want to share the island perspective with world travelers. Learn about our island’s rich history and culture, our interconnected ecosystem and how the trees, fungus and animals who live here have adapted to survive the hurricanes and thrive in the extreme weather at the foothills of the rainforest.
Connect with nature in a transformative experience that will stay with you forever🌀

Magical Mystery Tour
VIP Rainforest experience into the Ancestral Soul of Puerto Rico!
__________
We access this sacred land via a private property (farm) which belongs to us (Atabey Tours). From here we have a 15 minute hike through the forest to reach the river. This is a super off the beaten path local area (no tourists). This adventure requires hiking on uneven terrain. Once on the river, we do some wild river trekking (waist deep) and enjoy some beautiful swimming holes and an optional Mud Bath along with spectacular views of the mountains and even the ocean. We even have a natural water slide more up river for those true explorers. All this on the way to our stunning 40 foot waterfall where we can play and cliff jump into the river at all levels from easy to more challenging.
We bathe inside the vortex of the canyon created by the thundering waterfall carving out the rock over thousands of years. On the way back, we take the Afro-Puerto Rican scenic coastal route & learn about local African culture in our island. Pickup and drop off time is usually 12:30-5:30pm (possibly longer) depending on your pace as we have no rush in these magical places. We can also start earlier. I would pick you up in your place in the San Juan area.

Viejo San Juan & La Perla Magical Walking Tour
A unique off the beaten path local perspective!
__________
Our Old San Juan & La Perla Magical Walking Tour features the off the beaten path one of a kind neighborhood of La Perla with rich local culture and the history of the Forts, pirates, historic battles & inspiring architectural details throughout our walk. Along the way, we share legends/folk tales and the diverse influences from the Spanish to the Moors of North Africa that have shaped this 500 year old city once considered the Gateway to the Americas by the Spanish and their European rivals (mainly the British, Dutch and French).
We also get to indulge in the best local Puerto Rican Mountain coffee on the island in some of the farm to table cafés where the owners grow their own coffee beans in their farms up in the highest Central mountains of Puerto Rico. We focus on secret local spots in the city as well as the iconic classics with a unique local perspective. Our main guide Andrés is a native Puerto Rican who has lived within the historic fort walls of Viejo San Juan for many years. Start time is usually 4-7pm so we can catch an epic sunset from one of the most beautiful spots in the city and in the entire island. We also have an optional private secluded beach spot which is basically a natural jacuzzi in the ocean where we can bathe. It’s a secret spot with magical views.

“El Yunque is the United States’ only tropical rainforest. It was devastated by the storms. The lower falls have been cleaned up, so you can still hike that part; it’s full of lovely greenery and flowers. I recommend going to El Yunque with Atabey Tours. The guide, Andres Carrero, is an adventurer who has lived in Puerto Rico his entire life. He has a deep appreciation for the island and is super socially conscious. He will point out amazing things that people don’t normally notice and take you off the beaten path. Remember to wear a bathing suit so you can jump in a swimming hole.” —Laura Daen, founder of Mercado Agricola Natural Viejo San Juan
