Secret Waterfalls and Swimming Holes Nothing like a back massage by a waterfall If you’re lucky, the dog that lives at Casa Flamboyant named Obie will be your tour guide through the jungle, and will show you to his favorite hang out spots… 4. Giant green leaves and exotic flowers reaching out at me over the damp dirt path, vines hanging from trees begging to be swung from, and the natural background music of birds chirping and frogs “ Coqui“-ing. It was like everything I always dreamt a jungle hike would be. That means no tourists, no people staring at me for using a selfie stick, and seeing something that most people have never seen before in their lives. Here’s what got me really amped up to stay at Casa Flamboyant when Ricky told me that they have two on-property jungle hiking paths that are only accessible if you stay on the property. Hike Through On-Property Jungle Paths That is definitely the jungle. In fact, Ricky explained to me that all of the water on the property comes from the rainforest, which means it’s all super pure and fresh and magical. That jungle infinity pool you see in the pictures online…is 8,000 times awesomer in real life. Not only does it have that money shot view of the El Yunque jungle, and a waterfall directly in front of it…but it’s filled with fresh rainforest water, which I hear is capable of turning you into a unicorn.
Swim in an Infinity Pool of Rainforest Water Don’t mind me, just going to swim around in rainforest water while watching a waterfall. Of course, what better thing to do when you have that view than bask in its visual glory while laying in a hammock, right? They have them set up all throughout the property, so you can swing and relax while watching the waterfalls in the distance. Yeah…this was on the patio in front of my room. When I finally got up there, Ricky gave me a tour of what is probably the most epic accommodation I’ve ever stayed at in my life, which includes a 180 degree birds eye view of the rainforest, and even the island of Vieques in the distance. When Ricky first “warned” me that Casa Flamboyant is a little hard to find with GPS because it’s 1500 feet up in the rainforest, my reaction of course was, “Hell yeah!” The exotic bed and breakfast is on the south side of El Yunque, which is way less touristy and populated than the north side. Stay 1500 Feet Up in the Jungle It’s like a tree house…except way more luxurious
Swim in an Infinity Pool of Rainforest Water I booked two nights at Casa Flamboyant, thinking I’d plan to just go hike in the National Park, but after speaking with Ricky, one of the awesome owners, I started to realize that just staying at this jungle bed and breakfast was going to be an all-in-one adventure on its own.īrace yourselves for awesomeness, because this place is freaking unreal. It’s main photo is of a freaking infinity pool going out over the freaking El Yunque jungle. The one I clicked was obviously the one that was furthest in the jungle called Casa Flamboyant, and when I clicked on it on the map I was instantly sold. While still zoomed in on the area of interest and with the name of it still in the search bar, type “hotels near” in front of El Yunque and voila! You can see all of the hotel options and their information. From there, you can click the website it suggests to see the official National Park page, or you can follow another little secret I have to find a place to stay in the jungle. Try it! Google “Puerto Rico”, zoom in on the biggest green patch, and click where it says El Yunque National Forest.
That’s how I planned my jungle adventure in Puerto Rico. Want to know a little secret about how I plan my adventures? I zoom in on maps and look for big patches of green, tiny islands, or interesting names, then I look them up to see what they look like. I never thought I’d have such an epic adventure in the Puerto Rico, until I discovered the el Yunque Jungle Bed and Breakfast that has it all.
