The best hidden gem in Puerto Rico ♡

We recently traveled to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 if you are a US citizen and don’t have a passport, don’t worry! You won’t need one in PR 🙌🏼

We spent the day at the Charco del Hippie waterfall and it was perfect. The water was cold at first but you get used to it quickly. Perfect for how hot it is outside.

It’s a short 5-10 minute easy walk but it can be a little steep towards the end for elders and kids. I’d recommend wearing water shoes for grip.

We paid $5 to park at the bottom for all day access. They had a bathroom and outdoor shower, and a little kitchen where a family makes food if you get hungry. Highly recommend this swimming hole/waterfall if you plan to visit Puerto Rico! ❤️
