5.0 Puerto Rico Interior Tours (34 reviews)
- So fun!
Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks • Nature & Wildlife Tours

We did a cave tour in the jungle of Puerto Rico. This was so much thrill, excitement and beautiful. We drove ourselves out to the location point that was a 2 hr drive from our resort. We got to see the countryside of the island. When we arrived we started off going through a lot of different size caves. There were spiders, bats and scorpions all around but they didn’t bother us. Throughout the tour we zip lined, repelled and jumped off cliffs. It felt a little bit like boot camp but was so fun and I would definitely do it all over again! Get out and tour where ever you go! Happy traveling! See more..

5.0 Rio Prieto (1 review)
- Hike to Charco Prieto
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Bodies of Water

Charco Prieto was difficult to find but a beautiful treasure in Puerto Rico. The climb is scenic and challenging at times. Be sure to wear shoes with traction and clothes that can get wet or dirty. I fell 3 times and consider myself to be pretty fit. Slippery rocks and mud can be a surprise even when you are expecting them. The waterfall at the top is worth the hike and the bruises!!! We visited on a sunny day. See more..

3.0 Plaza Jose Feliciano (1 review)
- Vendors (1) Stay Open until the last boat unloads so we can shop (2) List Kiosk on Trip Advisor Yelp so we can buy!
Points of Interest & Landmarks
We arrived 5;30pm to get parking on Thursday. We toured the handful of OPEN Kiosks then the horn blew for the 1st Bio Boat tour out. When we got back we noticed ALL the Kiosks Storefronts were OPEN, but we were so hungry we opted to eat 1st Moons Bar wasted 45min of our time because when the drinks finally came out (only table ordering other 2 paid bills and getting up) is when told Out of Appetizers and Food. So we went next door to sandwich shop and ordered. By the time we were done eating ALL Kiosks were closed. When I got back to Washington DC I tried looking up the Corner Kiosks Mary Ellena's (i think) to order the jewelry I wanted BUT not one Kiosk Vendor is listed (?). I called Lares City Hall Tourist Office to get the name phone number of the 1st corner kiosk with the engraved coconut wood jewelry & wall art, but even the City Hall had No Idea Who or How to Contact them. List your business on Trip Advisor & Yelp for SHOPPING and also in Things To Do in Lares, Puerto Rico because your City Hall's Tourists Dept ALL Across the Island are failing each of your Artisans Economically!
