So fun. Very sketchy trail...be so careful! I would not suggest flip flops. Muddy all the time. Very slippery on the rocks too. You can slide on the bottom section into the pool. So fun. Very pretty.

Catch and release mountain mullet, couple of big ones! Be sure not leave any trash behind. We are naturalists and always pickup all trash we find when we visit places like this. Some broken glass and trash but the last big rain carried a lot away :( overall beautiful place, dont ruin it with trash!

I went here with friends, the water was fresh and clear, the rocks smooth.Sliding down the river was awesome. Then we went down to a big pool area, we loved it!Swimming, rope swinging and diving into the pool and healthy fun. It was greatIt cost $5 to park the car, we brought some drinks, I wish we had brought some snacks and a trash bag so we could stayd longer.Great for family fun

Great place for a chill and nice time. $5 for parking. An old approaches you and shows you where to park. Not sure if they actually own the land where we park because its literally the side of the road. People need to stop littering the area. Its a beautiful place and local government needs to enforce littering laws in there.

On 7/17/20 we tried to visit the water slides however it was closed. There was a local man who was trying to get us to park in his drive way for 5 mil peso/ about $224 dollars... that’s a joke... be aware if you go(Not sure if it’s just closed for Covid or what’s up, but the cite said open)

This place is amazing. If youre looking for a local spot off the beaten path look no further. Locals hanging out kids jumping off the rocks into the river. Families cooking on the grill. One of the coolest places we went while Im Puerto Rico. There is a little natural rock water slide and a great deep place to jump off the rocks if you go downstream a little bit.

Definitely worth the stop! $5 cash to park in the viejos driveway. The hike is not steep down to the river. Highly recommend water shoes, secure sandals, or socks for climbing up the rocks to the large slide. Stay as long as you want! Hike light, just bring your keys and a towel.

Beautiful...enjoyed the nature walk

Beautiful river and cañon.....

Beautiful place to spend with your family, the small waterfall was very nice and there were many fish, we loved this place.

Really nice place, mostly for locals. Gets crowded on weekends.

Súper nice, parking lot you paid like $5, easy access to the river, need to know that to go there you have to be able on climbing rocks (be precaution because there might be some slippery rocks) to get there.

This is definitely a tricky spot to get to, but its worth finding the way. The slides appear to be in private property and the homeowner has a few parking spots marked out in his driveway. It costs $5 to park there (and there isnt really anywhere else to park).There are two falls to slide down: an upper and a lower. The lower might be the best place to start to shake off the nerves if you have some. Its short and small with a large pool at the bottom. Enter just below the 10ish foot waterfall and slide down to the pool.The upper slide moves quite a bit quicker and requires some technique. Climb up the right-hand side of the slide but watch out because it will be slippery. Wearing just socks seemed to provide the best traction for climbing up. At the top, step in and sit down. Lean forward with your legs together and your hand stretched out to the sides to balance yourself as you slide down. This will help keep you from spinning backward too much.We ended up spending about 1.5 hours here and had a lot of fun. Definitely add it to your list of things to do while youre exploring the rainforest.

Can be a bit dangerous, but so much fun! This is a secret spot the locals like to hang at, beautiful!

Hidden gem in the rainforest, this slide was one of my favorite things on my trip. I would definitely suggest you walk above the falls and keep going. Its so beautiful! Small pools to sit in and river snails all over

☆RÌO PITAHAYA ☆Jungle and Waterfalls with wild animals! Definitely my kind of adventure! I missed the tropical weather, the challenges in the jungles and swim like a mermaid while chasing fishes. . . Of course, it was slippery so I did fell, knocked my head, bruised my leg while my arm and leg were bleeding and I was still happy

I never seen something this cool by nature. A nature water slide. Everyone who dared try it had a blast. Above and beyond beautiful. 5m easy walk down.

I thought that because we are living tough times with the COVID situation and today is a Monday, this could be a place to chill for an hour. Bad idea!!! Full of people. There is a guy charging parking! Really? Came out of nowhere between the cars. I was parked on the side of the street and he showed his face through my car window....!!! NO MASK!!! Some puertoricans really make me feel second hand embarrassment. I kindly ask the sir to back off and permit me organize my stuff. He didnt move and bluntly told me he wasnt going to get Covid. Enough for me to inmediately leave.

Amazing getaway spot and so easy to get to. Kids safe too!

Great river with a natural water slide!

Unique natural water attractions... Have fun and be careful!

It rained, so we didnt enjoy it fully, but it was beautiful. The dog guide that helped us down the path was cute. The kids loved it.

This place is a fantastic swimming hole in the rain forest. It is very beautiful and a fun place to take the family. It is easy to get to and the trail is easy to hike. I would recommend it on a hot day with some friends and family

This place is fun! This is the spot. Small sign marks the parking. Pay $5 to park and go. We arrived 5:30pm and the nice fellow reluctantly let us stay and play, so arrive earlier. 2 sets of slides. One when you immediately get down the path and look left is a bruiser but worth it. Other slide down to right is also a bruiser but less speed. Also rope swing and deep pool to jump off rocks.

Such a great natural river water slide, and it is so much fun. Just look at the pictures. There are two natural water slides, the second one is down river. There is a nice water fall and aarge rock on the down river pool where you can do cliff jumping, they even have a rope swing.

Awesome fun here. Come early and you get it all to yourself. Great parking too! Dont forget to use both hands on the slide to stable yourself!!

Hard to find but an awesome experience.

Awesome waterfalls....

Beautiful scenery but the slides are only for the brave. Go when it hasn’t rained in a while or the river will be too powerful. It’s a bit of a walk to get to the swing and slower slide. Wear water shoes or river sandals because the walk down from the parking lot is steep and the walk along the river is rocky. Unless you want to do the slides I would recommend Angelito Trail in El Yunque for swimming.

Super fun!

Sush a beautiful place perfect for hike adventure family activities

The water was a bit high from rain, but a wonderful place to hike, rest, relax and have fun.

Oh my!!!! Thank GOD for this place! It is magical! Hidden for sure but worth finding. Be ready to climb and walk on possibly slippery rocks. Water shoes did great. Swim, slide, float, and enjoy Gods creation of waterfalls and beauty!

It has beautiful scenery and wonder swimming areas. The bottom area is difficult to climb to and the waterside can be dangerous but its definitely worth going. 5$ parking so watch out.

Such a beautiful scenic and fun place to spend the day relaxing and catching Rays or letting yourself live a little sliding down the rocks on the naturally made slide you wont regret taking the time to go!

The water fall was amazing go to the house at the end of the street. THE people were so nice

Highly recommend. 5 dollars to park. Waterfalls are amazing. Has rock slide but be careful climbing the rocks.

Natural water slides worn into the mountain rock by water. 5 dollars to park and a 2 min walk down to area. the views are stunning. You can keep walking down and you find another spot to swim and jump from rocks, a must do.

Fun. Easy to find.

Love the place! Low cost high impact place to have fun with the family

Las paylas is much fun. This place is our new favorite spot to go to when we come to puerto rico. There are a couple of swimming areas and two slides. This place is great for kids and adults alike, but it is very steep to climb in some areas so I would not recommend for the elderly or people who have difficulty walking. Bring swimming shoes if possible.

Natural waterfall amidst the lush green forest. The waterslides are just amazing. You need to pay for the parking and there is no entrance fee for the waterslides. Do enjoy both the waterslides.

Great experience and connection with nature !!!!!

So much fun and stunningly beautiful. I can only recommend to spend a few hours here if you’re visiting Puerto Rico (or even as a local if you haven’t been yet.)

One of the best waterslides on the island. Easy drive from SJ. Park at Oscars house and try some limber.

Arrived exactly where the map says, there is a garbage can painted with PAYLAS and parking is very small. It is $5 and you use the steps behind someones house to get down to the river. I might have been scared off if not for the many other people. Bathroom costs 25¢ to use. The rocks are massive and fun to climb on. The larger river area for swimming had a few people in it with children playing. There is a rope swing and a nice height rock to jump off of. We mostly explored farther down river where we were left alone.

Stunning river with amazing views! Las Paylas is a natural slide that ends with a natural pool. The water is refreshing and clean, definitely recommend!

Wish people would take their garbage out that thry bring in. Such a beautiful area beginning to be overrun by trash

Nice place and safe one

This place was by far the most fun we had in the rainforest. We drove on 983 coming out of El Yunque and the entrance was on the left. If we didnt read the reviews here we would have never known that such a beautiful place is hiding behind someones house. We paid $5 for parking inside the owners yard, felt safe with the security cameras and the closed gates. You walk down the stairs in the back of the house and the waterfalls are right there. First spot is easy 5 min walk, the second one is little tricky walking on the rocks but worth it! the lower pool Is bigger with a place to slide and jump from the big rocks. Also cool to swim with the fish in the pond.

My kids enjoyed the natural water slide & jumping off the rocks down at the bigger stream. It was a great first river experience for them! Well come back for sure...

Awesome experience! Its a Must See if youre visiting PR!

People that goes to visit needs to take their trash with them other than that, beautiful.

SUPER AWESOME AND FUN! walk down the path (steep) & then walk directly to the rocks in front of the tree, climb in and have fun! make sure you grab the yellowish rope to help you climb up the rocks so you can go down the slide! definitely bumpy (pretty sure this might be where those super expensive tours on airbnb take you- just rent a car and go yourself) around 40ish mins from san juan. super awesome experience. wouldnt start from the very top just like middlish, would reccommend shoes with traction/that are secure- no bare feet or flip flops - natural pool at the bottom but you need to climb to get to it. (there actually might be a path to walk around to it but i wasnt that invested) $5 parking- owner only speaks spanish. (park STRAIGHT)

Natural waterslide

Beautiful place, and really busy!

This place was closed. Super hard to find. Faded hand written signs. Looks like a local runs it and charges ppl to enter. Super sketchy looking.

Exceptionally fun! So glad to have had this experience!

So much fun. Its a little hard to find. There is a green house with a parking lot with a blue barrel out front that says paylas. You can pay $5 to park there and then walk/hike down to the river. the water slide looks like it might hurt, but it doesnt. There were even kids going down head first and standing up. 10/10 would recommend.

Great outdoor entertaining

The Lower & Slower SlideLas Paylas in LuquilloThe slower slide is downstream (to the right) from where the trail meets the river. This does require a walk down the rocks. The locals go barefoot (and I bet it provides better traction), but I wore Crocs and Ray had water shoes. Footware with some traction is helpful.This lower slide is about 12-15 feet long, and a straight course into the pool. It starts right after a pretty little waterfall cavern. I sat in this pool and enjoyed the water. It was chilly (or refreshing as we like to say!).There were some local kids there and one of them showed me where to get into this slide, and he did it to show me how. Then it was my turn.It was really smooth (thankfully!) and not too fast. The pool at the bottom was deep (about 8-10 feet) and the rocks were a bit slippery for getting out. But I enjoyed the ride enough to decide that I would try the faster, larger one.The Upper & Faster SlideThe faster slide is upstream (to the left) of where the trail meets the river. For this one, you have to climb up the large rocks to the starting point. This slide is about 30 feet long and has some twists and turns. The girls told me to try to keep my arms in close to my body, so that I wouldn’t hit my elbows on the sides. They also suggested to try to remain upright. What they didn’t mention is that keeping my arms in would not help me balance through the twists and turns! But I was game, and off I went.I was less than graceful, but I made it! It was fast and the turns do twist you around a bit. The pool at the end is also deep, but easier to get out of than the lower pool. I did end up getting a small scrape on my elbow, but it was fun!If you watch the kids, many of them do run their hands along the walls as the go down for stability. Some of the kids do really crazy stuff — head first, standing up, a train — all kinda scary looking but fun to watch.

Beautiful spot to take visitors just outside of the rainforest. Parking is easy, only $5. A two minute hike down a hill and you’re there! Natural water slide with a pool at the bottom.

Best place ever!!!

AMAZING, CALMING, GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Allot of rock climbing but the river was beautiful. All the water falls and rock formed water slides was wonderful.

So much fun and the best 5 bucks Ive spent this trip!!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Puerto Rico! Must see!!

Beautiful waterfall and small bay to swim in at the bottom. Very slippery Rock when it rains.

Nice cool water but must wesr shoes o sneakers, No Sandals

I had one of the greatest experiences of my life here. I passed it like 3 times on my first visit because its kinda hard to spot. DONT GIVE UP! Its like something out of a movie! There is a little hike down a hill and you do have to cross over rocks to get to the other slide (the smaller one) its a great place for kids. I went during the week so it wasnt too crowded. Just an all around amazing place! I had such a wonderful time once youve been here you will never forget it.

Definitely worth a visit! The rocks/slides are unforgiving surfaces, so wear a t-shirt. Great place to spend an afternoon relaxing and exploring! If you have trouble finding Carlos house, ask any neighbor to direct you to Las Paylas.

Nice place family friendly

Super local eco-tourism and low tech fun. A little scary for nervous moms with young kids. But a rare chance to try a natural rock slide, climb boulders and swim in a clear river pool. Our youngest got banged up a little but overall we had a great time and the farmer who owns the land was friendly. Has bathrooms for changing and parking, just $5 .

This is simply an awesome interface with nature. Fresh water pouring down the mountain along rocks that you can slide down, into a swimmable pond- whats not to like?

Every view is engaging.

Love everything about it.

A beautiful, fun place. Not too crowded and only $5 parking.

$5 to park and enjoy the incredible natural water slide. Another pool and mini-slide is further down. Bring a cooler, but please take your trash with you.

Very cool natural place to be with the family.

Slipery rocks but very fun, with 2 natural slides

Awesome time!!

The place is beautiful, I loved going here and seeing the river flow over and around the rocks. In this picture is the first natural slide you arrive at, but if you walk down along the river you will find a smaller slide and a small lake to swim around in, which is more suitable for swimming than the area pictured here.The parking was at a mans house, cost $5, and they charge 25¢ to use the bathroom - thats the only thing that bothered me a bit. But the river is gorgeous and its so fun to use the slide; definitely worth a visit if youre in the area.

Great place, no free parking, great view and good people. Great please to visit in a road trip.

Amazing place!

Had a great time just sitting in the water and even bettwe time gone down the natural water slides

Worth the $5 we paid to park. Worth every bruise and cut. This was our favorite spot in all of PR! The waterslide runs about 30 feet maybe more. Try to aim yourself into the channel on the left near the bottom. Dont worry about the slight drop the rock is so very smooth.

Awesome river rock slides. Rocks to jump off of and a rope to swing on if youre crazy enough!

Its an amazing sight with lots of varieties of fishes and the cool natrual things like the water slides and how the water shapes the rocks . Amazing place!!!!

It is $1 per person to enter this private property with parking on site. Its a breath taking location in the foothills of the Rainforest on the outskirts of Luquillo, Puerto Rico. There are two slidable natural waterfall slides, a fairly large swimming hole at the bottom of the longer of the two and a small cave with a waterfall in it as well as a small hiking trail through wild flora. There is a bathroom for use on site and the owner sells a small selection of drinks but allows you to bring in your own food and drinks if you carry out your trash afterward. It is NOT handicap accessible.

Really quaint little place, lots of fun. Please keep in mind that its someones house that youre parking at so be respectful.

Beautiful

Its very accessible and cheap to park. There is space for a lot of people.

Seen El Yunque water falls is closed ... this was another option to have the feeling of the great nature water from the river. This place have a sliding rock and my daughter had a blast.... most due !

Go to the lower one. Parking is $5. The jumping rock is safe but your feet will touch the bottom. Rope swing is sketchy.

Natural slides in the lowland of the rainforest. Beautiful river and pond. Its on private property and is a small road so expect to pay $5 for car parking and $10 for vans to the owner of the land that its giving you access to the area.

Amazing water slide and Clif jumps were fun

Loved it!

Great owner great place️To spend the day un lugar buenisimooo

Unique natural waterslide experience. Worth a stop! Trail leading down to the slides is not very accessible to those with mobility difficulties as an FYI.

Fun! Great place to go with family.
