  • Carite Forest Reserve
    The Carite Forest Reserve, located within the Sierra de Cayey mountain range in southeastern Puerto Rico, is a protected area recognized for its ecological richness and scenic beauty. Spanning portions of the municipalities of Cayey, Patillas, Guayama, and San Lorenzo, the reserve rises to over 900 meters above sea level, creating a cool, humid climate that supports diverse ecosystems. Its dense vegetation includes Sierra palms, ferns, and numerous endemic and native tree species, while its fauna features the Puerto Rican broad-winged hawk, the elfin woods warbler, and several species of coquí frogs. In this tour we will hike two of the forest's trails the Charco Azul trail, a short hike leading to a striking blue natural pool surrounded by lush tropical forest, and Los Tres Chorros, a scenic area featuring three cascading waterfalls and natural swimming holes.
  • Guavate
    Guavate, known as “La Ruta del Lechón” or The Pork Highway, is a lively mountain community in the town of Cayey, famous for its roasted pork and festive atmosphere. Stretching along Route PR-184, this scenic road winds through the lush hills of the Sierra de Cayey, where dozens of traditional roadside restaurants, known as lechoneras, serve slow-roasted whole pig (lechón asado) alongside Puerto Rican favorites like arroz con gandules, yuca, and pasteles. In this tour, we will visit the main area of the route where the famous lechoneras, regarded as the best by Anthony Bourdain, El Rancho Original and Los Pinos are located. This main stretch features open-air terraces, artisan stands, and scenic views of the green Cayey mountains, creating a festive, family-friendly environment that blends gastronomy, live music on weekends and mountain charm.
