Natural water slide — Attraction in Puerto Rico

Pretty cool, it is a unique experience you likely won’t get to do many other places.

You pay the local property owner about $10 per car to park. He charged us a bit more ($15) because we had 5 in our group.

You then walk down the steep paved walkway to the river. The paved walkway does not have many steps, so it can be a bit dicey getting down if you’re older or have knee/ankle/feet issues.

Although the hike up to the top of the “slide” is very slippery and dangerous. We witnessed a few bigger and older people get banged up trying to climb up to the top. The slide itself is pretty safe so long as you sit upright in a sitting position and put your arms to your side to help guide you down. You get moving very fast down to a pool that is max a little less than about 5 foot, but quickly gets shallower (like 3-4 feet) as you get moved by the current. I would recommend for those good on their feet and comfortable with water. Also, don’t try to go down with a child on your lap, you have a good chance of flipping over onto them towards the bottom, that could be really bad.

The only other thing is that tour groups can be a bit pushy when they show up, cause the guides are pushing to get the “experience” done quickly for their members likely to maximize profits.

A helpful hint over heard from one of the guides is to wear socks to walk/crawl up the slope to the top of the slide. Socks will give you much better grip than bare feet or any sort of shoe...

Parking is available for $10 per car, managed by a private owner, but it's at your own risk. I noticed some visitors arguing with property owners over scratches on their vehicles. On your way back, if you need to rinse your feet or shoes, there’s a water pipe provided by the property owner, but it comes with a $1 per person charge. A small pathway has been created, making it an easy 5 to 8-minute walk to reach the spot. Be sure to wear non-slip water shoes for safety.

There are no changing rooms or washrooms on-site.

The natural water slides are smooth and not too deep, making them enjoyable and easy to navigate. However, if you move your arms while sliding, there is a slight chance of scraping your elbow. It’s a fun activity—just take a little care. If you book a guided tour, they provide life jackets and a guide for added safety. You can easily spend around three hours here with family.

This location is not suitable for individuals with disabilities or strollers as the route is not stroller-friendly.

Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a family outing and a...

Sketchy. Dirty guy hustling people for parking on public street. Shoeless shirtless dirty guy starts whistling and screaming the moment we’d parked demanding they each get paid. Yelled at the 4 year old girl. Guide said to pay him $10.

Shirtless dirty guys demands ore cash. No signs posted for payment, but plenty of signs for cars being broken into. True to form. People came back to their car broken into.

If you go, drive a beat up vehicle and above all don’t wear clothing/watches that show you have money. Expect someone to hassle you for whatever amount of money you look like you can afford with a decent possibility of having your car broken into.

Experience may depend on how busy things are and opportunity for thieves to break in.
