This was one of the best experiences we've had on our trip to Puerto Rico. We hiked The Big Tree trail and it ended at La Mina Water fall. It's a fairly easy trail with some steep hills, but it's well worth the hike!
It is roughly a 45 minute trek down the mountain to get to La Mina Falls. Wear good traction shoes because the moist rock path can be slippery. Take water and wear your bathing suit so you can take a dip in any one of the swimming holes along the way. DOn't go if you have bad knees. Otherwise it was my fav thing to do and it is beautiful.
We hiked the trail to La Mina Falls. It was a manageable hike, be sure to wear athletic shoes. There were some challenging areas on the trail. But once you reach the falls it was worth the hike.
This is not to be rushed , go with plenty of time and not hungry ,bring water and plenty film ,(an umbrella is a good idea)
Such a great hike, me and a couple of friends went after hiking up to the top of the mountain. So many different types of flora and fauna. Don't forget to bring a bathing suit to enjoy the cool waterfall!
Enjoyed hiking the trail to La Mina Falls - I'm sure I didn't have the right shoes on and I was able to manage, was a bit warm but the dip in the falls afterwards fixed that right up!
This was a fun stop-off point along the road, but I didn't feel like it was terribly unique. The waterfalls are beautiful but not extremely tall. Not a focal point of my visit, but if you're passing by, you might as well stop.
The path isn't wide, but the scenery makes it really worth the hike! A much easier trail to take than the Big Tree Trail, it is very steep, but if you can park at one end and come out the other, do both! Very worth it!
Walked two trails on a January Monday. This one was very crowded. Falls are good but the hike down was mostly single file wet steps. The Park itself is worth a trip from San Juan but we could have easily missed this one.
There was a waterfall at the end of the trail. Get in and swim! Make sure you can swim though, it gets deep in areas. It is also very forceful. But beautiful trail.
