Full-Day Borinquen Adventure Tour: Zipline, Horseback & Hot Springs at Rincón de la Vieja
Spend a full day in the Rincón de la Vieja highlands: 11 ziplines through humid forest, a scenic horseback ride, and restorative volcanic mud baths and hot springs. This private tour mixes adrenaline with relaxation and local culture.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Tennis shoes or light hiking shoes keep feet protected for zip lines and horseback; sandals aren’t recommended for canopy platforms.
Bring a swimsuit and quick-change
You’ll use mud baths, saunas and hot pools after the activities; pack a dry change of clothes and a towel (provided, but bring extras if you want).
Apply insect repellent before arrival
The humid tropical forest hosts mosquitoes; repellant and long sleeves at dawn/dusk reduce bites.
Carry extra hydration
Two bottles are included but hot, active days call for more — bring a refillable bottle to top off between activities.
