A guided adventure through Charco Azul, a turquoise pool inside a rock canyon on the Vega Baja and Morovis line, with caves and river swimming.

What you'll do

Charco Azul is a striking turquoise pool set inside a rock canyon on the border of Vega Baja and Morovis, less than an hour from San Juan, where a river has carved sand caves and swimming holes into the landscape over time. This guided tour spends five hours exploring the canyon, swimming through the caves and river sections, with guides sharing the area's Taino history along the way. It is a wetter, more adventurous outing than most of the north coast's day trips, closer in feel to a canyoning excursion than a standard sightseeing tour.

Pro tip

Expect to get fully wet and to swim through some tight cave sections, this is closer to canyoning than a beach day, so pack accordingly and leave valuables behind.
