Yamile knows PR better than any person or tour guide we have met on this trip. We spent a full day with her and her passion for the Island is evident when you here her talking about the Taino. She took us to several different parts of the canyon and exploring this area brought me closer to my heritage, it was very physically challenging but so very fun. I plan on coming back and booking several other tours with her so I can really see explore the island with a true local.

Jamile is an awesome guide and Big Happy Family is her motto and it shows.
I had booked it last minute and Jamile made sure that I am comfortable with the amount of activity required with this trip. It is a physically demanding tour - climbing up and down of the river side, travelling where there aren't defined trails and swimming against the current to discover hidden gems. So please keep in mind when picking this up.
Its a small group tour so it makes it a good closed knit bonding with having fun and enjoying the tour.

When I first discovered this adventure, it called to me deeply and I knew that I had to go. It is difficult to put into words how special Utuado is…healing, peaceful, playful, challenging, breathtaking, and sacred
Yamille is YOUR guide!
Yamille is an incredible person and knowledgeable guide who packed our day full of amazing experiences. During the drive we had great conversations getting to know everyone, learning about Puerto Rican history and culture, food, and more…little did we know we were extended our family that day!
This is a challenging hike and swim through a part of Canon Blanco, to see the Petroglyphs, and waterfall. Please prepare ahead of time using Yamille’s instructions to make sure you are wearing the right stuff, especially footwear. If you bring your phone, get a good water proof pouch, otherwise Yamille will take good pictures of you during your adventures in Utuado. If you are not very experiences in basic climbing with hiking, she gives good instructio

I did this tour with my boyfriend and this was the highlight of our trip! We had an amazing adventure and could not believe how great Yamile was. Yamile was extremely detailed and knowledgeable about Puerto Rican culture. I also appreciated the small group experience; it allowed us to have a peaceful and safe hike.
