Discover beautiful and breathtaking natural areas on the north coast of Puerto Rico, where few people get the chance to explore.
Great karst rock formations dominate the island, which have taken millions of years to form as water continuously filters through the cracks and eroding rock to create spectacular shapes.
A vast network of underground rivers flow through damp and dark caves, which provide excellent sites for hiking.
In the coastal region of Vega Baja there is a treasure trove of natural wonders to discover. The gems of this region are Charco Azul (Blue Pool) and Cuevas Arenales (Sand Cave).
Beginning in the water-worn canyon area, check out the beautiful and curious rock formations that have been created by a million-year-old process. Look out for fossils and shells that show how they were once underwater.
After some hiking you’ll get the chance to climb down and enter the mouth of the canyon, where you’ll be greeted by a spectacular waterfall.
Once in the pitch-black cave, your headgear will keep you orientated as you walk and float in the waters.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the picturesque Puerto Rican caves and pools on a day tour of Vega Baja.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
