We spent a morning flying across the rainforest canopy at JungleQui
Zipline Park in El Yunque National Forest. I don’t know which was more
spectacular – the adrenaline rush of the ziplines as we flew from tree to tree
like Tarzan, the incredible views of the lush flora and the river far below, or
the sparkling personalities of our tour guides.
There was a little bit of hiking involved, some on steep
trail, so if you do this, you need to be in reasonable physical condition. Make
sure to wear good shoes. We wished we had realized we could carry water
bottles, because it took 2 ½ hours long to navigate 11 ziplines and one exhilarating
rappel. And it got hot!
We drove to Junglequi, but they also operate a service that
will pick you up at your hotel, if you don’t rent a car or prefer not to drive.
Across from the parking lot at the entrance of Junglequi, our
local friend Julio, who operates Rosario Tours, took us down a trail to a
locals spot by the river, where you can jump off a rock into the water or even swing
out on a rope.! If you’re ever looking for a personalized tour of any part of
Puerto Rico, Julio Flores is your man!
