Located a mile west of UPR, Aventuras Tierra Adentro is a favorite store for climbers and
hikers in Puerto Rico. It's also a tour operator specializing in rock-climbing and rappelling
trips to the Río Camuy caves and canyoning trips in El Yunque. Guides also lead ziplining
over the mouth of Camuy's Angeles sinkhole.
Diving & Snorkeling
While Puerto Rico is well known for its first-class diving, San Juan is not the best place for
it: strong winds often churn up the water. Condado has an easy dive that takes you through
a pass between the inner and outer reefs into coral caverns, overhangs, grottoes and tun-
nels.
