this monday, i joined the Rocaliza tour group's thrilling rainforest expedition. we set forth from san juan in the am with the agitated anticipations of an intimate, adrenaline-filled adventure. for almost an hour, our van climbed the winding pot-holed roads to the carite-forested mountains near caguas. there we donned the required safety helmets and harnesses, stashed our breakables and set forth up our flowing river trail. although an exhilarating, physicality dominated our tour-experience, the challenges were always tied to a message of intimacy with place. as we traversed one extended family's property, we heard of their history, learnt of their forest + dined at their tables on home-cooked food. Rocaliza makes a strong statement on the importance of connecting travelers & locals, sharing business and spreading awareness to all who are lucky enough to visit this special place. for more information please visit: rocaliza.com or click any of the links below.
