Charco El Hippie

A short drive into EL Yunque to experience a wonderful waterfall and swimming hole. Paid $5 to park. A short 2-3 minute walk from parking you be there. Entry down is steep and rugged. Wear water shoes. Search the bottom of the pond and you might find treasure. My husband lost his wedding ring.

My husband and I had a great time. The water was so good. It was raining this day but not bad. The people are very nice there and very helpful. The food was good. I recommend this place I want to visit again 💯🇵🇷🙏❤️

An amazing spot. So much natural beauty. The location takes you to a parking lot, you're charged $5 to park and then it's a short easy walk to the river that has a beautiful swimming hole, lots of rocks. The water is all different depths and has some currents so be careful. We met a man named chelo who was looking out for everyone's safety, he was great. Awesome experience.

We heard about this from our bartender the night before so we added this to out to do list for the trip - we are so glad we did. This place is a total hidden gem. Same experience - very rural drive ending in a super steep climb to a parking lot where a friendly man collected $5 and pointed up the short walk to the falls and ponds. They do have food and drink available sometimes, but I wouldn't count on this. Bring something to eat and drink. It is such a beautiful and rugged location and we went on a Monday and a couple left when we arrived, and another arrived when we left. We had the place to ourselves for an hour. Time for fun, and discovery and a few jumps in the water. I was again disappointed by the trash others had left behind even though the host provided a trash bag in the hut. Oh well. It was still amazing and I would come back again! I would recommend this for teenagers and above. If you can't hike and climb rock or swim some deep water you may not enjoy it much! I loved it! We got rained on in the sunshine! Lastly the leaving is even steeper going down the hill in the car! EEEEK ! AWESOME!

Charco El Hippie is one of the most beautiful spots I’ve visited in Puerto Rico. The water is crystal clear, the scenery is straight out of a postcard, and the whole area has a peaceful, natural vibe that makes you feel like you escaped into your own little paradise. It’s perfect for swimming, relaxing, taking photos, or just enjoying God’s creation in its purest form. The short walk to the water is manageable, and once you get there, it’s completely worth it. If you’re visiting Puerto Rico or even if you live here, this place is a must-see. Highly recommend!

Roads are terrible.on the way in, but it's worth the drive. $5 parking at the top of the road, short walk up what used to be the rest of the road to the waterfall and swimming hole. Water shoes might be nice, but unnecessary. Sandy bottom with large rocks and most of the pool is deep enough that you won't touch the bottom anyway.

We went for about 30 minutes. We were planning to get in the water and swim around but the water was extremely murky and brown so we chose not to. We just sat on the rocks and relaxed. We assume the water was so brown because of all the recent rain. There is $5 parking fee.

Beautiful waterfall and swimming hole. Kinda secluded which was nice. There is a parking lot that you pay $5 then about a 3 minute walk to falls. The descent down is steep and rocky but definitely worth it. The water is deep and cold but perfect for a hot day. There is a swing and plenty of spots to climb and jump. Definitely a good time!

Want to experience a hidden gem that is one of the best waterfalls and swimming experiences in the Naguabo area? You can google Charco El Hippie in Naguabo. This spot is definitely worth it to go swimming and cliff jumping. This spot is not over run with tourists and tourist companies. Upon arrival there is a small house that provides parking for $5.00. A small walk up the hill and a climb down to the waterfalls becomes a great swimming experience. Just be aware there are deep spots and does have a slight current. Otherwise the cliff jumping and swimming is awesome. Best to go early to get a nice spot to sit at. You can also climb to a higher location and see another waterfall and other smaller swimming holes. You can bring food and drinks and your own music if so desired. I highly recommend this location if you desire a smaller crowd and privacy. This is my go to spot and my family loves the location. It's a hidden gem.
