Let's explore Puerto Rico's most amazing northeastern region and its 5 unique municipalities on our full-day private or semi-private (up to 6 pax. max.)cultural tour with a certified guide Professor Nat!
The landscapes and ecosystems are mind-boggling.The Northeast covers coastal forests, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and pristine beaches.
We'll start with exotic beach food emporia in Piñones, tasting the famous authentic 'fritura'. Next, mysterious Loiza will transport us across the ocean to a world of African culture. Enjoy a local barbecue lunch to go (extra charge, picnic style).
Then, to El Yunque forest private terrains in Rio Grande, where we'll hike through the lush tropical forest to the sacred river bath for the Taino Indians.
A yummy natural local fruits frappe and juice bar is next, to keep that healthy vibe going!
Finally, we'll head to Luquillo, Puerto Rico's finest beach. You can indulge in the finest sand and turquoise waters.
The itinerary order is subject to change.
Itinerary
Paseo Tablado de Pinones
In our cultural tour you will visit the town of Piñones where its rich culture, music and art is attributed to enslaved african ancestors from hundreds of year ago. Municipality of LoĂza is arguably among the purest centers of true African culture in the Western world, tracing its ancestors to the Yoruba tribe of West Africa. Piñones is a must see picturesque ocean drive to LoĂza where you can enjoy local dining experiences and practice what Puerto Ricans call chinchorreo. Sample delicious finger foods specialties ( 1pp included).
45 minutes
Loiza
The Municipality of LoĂza in the island of Puerto Rico is home of a beautiful and easy-access cavern that is not too far away from Piñones sector: Cueva MarĂa de la Cruz. One of the earliest signs of human habitation was found at LoĂza in the Cueva de MarĂa la Cruz- remains of the first Puerto Rico’s settlers, the Arcaico indigenous people, were found in this cave during an exploration led by anthropologist Dr. Ricardo AlegrĂa in 1948.
This cavern is a limestone gem that shelters remarkable cave and limestone formations.
30 minutes
Balneario La Monserrate Luquillo Beach
Among top 30 world's beaches is the Balneario La Monserrate in the eastern region of Puerto Rico, specifically in the town of Luquillo.The water is warm and calm and clear. Perfect for anyone but especially nice for families. The beach is lined with palm and almond trees.The clean, golden sand stretches for about a mile, backed by a grove of coconut palms, earning the locals the nickname of Los come cocos (the coconut eaters). In the distance you can see the dramatic peaks of El Yunque rainforest cloaked in purple thunder clouds.
1 hour 30 minutes
Playa Luquillo
Famous seemingly endless string of friquitines, or kiosks sellings delectably rich local seafood specialties , Luquillo Kiosks are comprised of a row of around 60 family-owned kiosks selling food, drinks, and souvenirs.This is a perfect pitstop for fresh oysters and local food staples after enjoying a beach day on the east coast and a hiking at El Yunque.
1 hour
El Yunque National Forest
Easy picturesque hike through the El Yunque rain forest to the sacred for Taino Indians river bath. Soak in the cool water of the only tropical rainforest in the USDA National Forest system. The El Yunque National Forest offers great biodiversity with distinct and varied ecological zones within a comparatively small area. Hundreds of different animal species make El Yunque their home, among them 26 endemic to the island. Eels, chopa fish and river shrimp can be seen in the cristal clear waters.
2 hours
Canovanas (Pass By)
Driving back to the metropolitan area to the PanaderĂa España or Condado. We'll drive on the Highway 66 via municipality of Canovanas, known as la Cuna de los Indios (“The Indians' Cradle”), or Pueblo Valeroso (“The Valiant Town”), in part because the local tribe helped defend the Spaniards from the native TaĂno uprising in 1511. But the name that is most relevant nowadays is la Ciudad de las Carreras (“The Racing Horse Town”) since it is home to the only horse track on the Island and the local culture is closely tied to equestrian sport. With this we complete our exploration of five municipalities of the Northeast.

Best Tour Ever!

Professor Nat is A-mazing! She is a walking Encyclopedia! We learned a lot in a day, history, nature, animals, you name it. We had breakfast at one of the oldest bakery, ate local food for lunch, had local coffee and fresh fruits by the road. Her personality is very lively, no dull moment. She ensures everyone is having a great time. We highly recommend her!

AMAZING tour with the best guide ever. I highly recommend if you want to get a real experience on a personal level. You will pack a lot into 1 day, and will get to see and experience a lot. I just did this tour and it was 6 girls in our 40ies, and we had such a great day. Look no further and book it!

ProfeNat's Tour is unmatched! Not only was she one of the kindest people I have met but she was also one of the most informative. She made us feel like we were on a tour of our own island, we were able to witness the beauty of EL Yunque, learn about the forest and Puerto Rican culture, and enjoy our time with awesome people. I have never been on a tour where it feels like your guide is family. She was AMAZING. If you are taking a tour Puerto Rico you better book with her or you would truly be losing out!
