DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF EL YUNQUE
The Rainforest Inn's Lost Machete Hike
Español
Venture into the El Yunque jungle, where adventure is the norm. One misplaced step can send you sliding down the mountainside, tangled in vines, never to be seen again. Your companions press on without you, mourning your passage into the enchanted Rainforest of El Yunque. Maybe the ghost stories are true after all…
Refreshing natural swimming hole above a waterfall - deep in the jungle and private.
Okay, so maybe we’re exaggerating just a little. But make no mistake, The Lost Machete Hike is not your average trail. You’ll need to sign a legal disclaimer first because you came here for adventure, right? After all, this is our property’s private trail!
Steep climbs await, and the rocks and boulders along the beautiful, unnamed stream can be dangerously slippery. The trail is carefully maintained, but if luck is on your side, you might even spot one of the resident boa constrictors lounging nearby.
Now that you know a bit about the challenges, get ready to discover the breathtaking beauty that makes every step into these wilds completely unforgettable.
“The hikes in El Yunque were fun, but the Machete Trail was the best!”
One step off the pavement, and you will immediately feel the jungle surround you. At the trail’s end, you will discover a hidden waterfall, a secluded gem few have the chance to experience firsthand. Perch upon a boulder that is yours for the day and join the fellow hikers who have enjoyed these cascading waters, bathed in the pools, and contemplated an awe-inspiring vista of the Caribbean Sea.
Privacy here is a premium. The Lost Machete Hike may be the most memorable adventure you embark on in Isla del Encanto. Some of our guests have even proposed at the pool above the waterfall.
“The private hike that leads to a swimming hole is an adventure in itself, leave at least one morning to explore that! The views from atop the waterfall are unlike any other on El Yunque!”
Nature lovers will be amazed by the beauty of the forest
“The machete trail was secluded…I mean a private waterfall and swimming hole!!! You just cannot replicate this place... ”
“The private hike to the secluded waterfall is a must, just don’t give up on the trail even when the rain starts to come down, the vistas and bathing at the end are well worth it.”
