Extreme adventures at nature allow people to connect with Mother Earth and appreciate its grand value. Even though the ways to get involved with nature and resulting feelings vary among human beings, it is good to highlight moments when nature’s charm was prominent.

Below we share a summary of the top five experiences in Puerto Rico that have stood out so far while enjoying extreme adventures due to the energy or special attraction the ecotreasures ® crew sensed in relation to these.

ecotreasures’ Top Five Magical Experiences during Extreme Adventures:

1) Swimming in Charco Azul Natural Pool on San Cristóbal Canyon

The ecotreasures adventurer was fascinated by Charco Azul’s grandeur. A profound immersion in nature took place―the adventurer, the water and the rest of the ecosystem became one.

The ecotreasures adventurer felt as if he was entering another dimension and the light filtering from above through the trees were transporting him to surrounding volcanic rocks.
