These guys know the land like the back of their hands--including where to spot wildlife. That’s a good point, Ryan!

Not only was it interesting meeting new people from all over but having guides who knew what they were doing was incredibly beneficial. But the most underrated benefit from going on a tours was animal spotting. Guides are so in tune with knowing where and what to look for that if I had been on the tour by myself I would have seen nothing but an empty forest or river.

I wish I had known about that delivery service while I was there. Agreed--sandals are no good on the cobblestones in Old San Juan. I'm so glad you had a great trip! And as to your comment above about tour guides, yes, I think a good guide is one that makes the trip interesting from the minute he picks you up. Jaime has the perfect personality for this. I'm so glad it worked out that you got him as your guide too! Fantastic! I wish I had known about that delivery service while I was there.

He was funny and a great guy tour guy. What a difference between him and the other adventure we took the following day. As I stated we went to Island Icacos and the driver didn't speak to anyone during the 1 hr drive and ppl were wondering why and it would have been nice if the company would include that during the drive because you do go through areas you might want to know about. Thank God we went a day before to El Yunque because we pretty much took the same route and Jaime talked all the way.
