The best river, stream, or creek cabin rentals in Puerto Rico

Hop a plane with your carry-on full of camping gear and take advantage of Puerto Rico’s year-round mild temperature and diverse ecosystems. Upon arrival on the tropical island, stop at a roadside stall or “kiosko” to pick up food and other necessities, and head toward one of Puerto Rico’s remote beaches for a coastal camping adventure. On the world-famous Flamenco Beach of Culebra Island, you can pitch your tent a few feet away from the shoreline. For a completely different experience, check out Rio Camuy Cave Park. Exploring the extensive cave system makes for a great day trip. A short drive from the capital of San Juan is the El Yunque National Forest, a tropical rainforest where there are seven designated campgrounds. Each offer a unique, Caribbean camping experience. Just make sure to request a free camping permit before you go.

This property was once a religious shrine. It was purchased by an American Rock Star as a pet sanctuary. Once we bought this place we though it was appropriate to call it, “The Sanctuary.” We use a portion of the income at this property to help our nieces/nephew's with their schooling and college.

Located in one of the last truly campesino mountain valleys, this once small family coffee farm ( Finca Monte Esplendor ) has been lovingly transformed into an eco-farm of terraces, poly cultural fruit/cacao forest and retreat center. Sana and Papo arrived some 40 years ago inspired by the terrain, PR culture and local campesino community. They are professional musicians, impassioned land stewards, experienced Buddhist meditators and yoga practioners The BOHIO is reminiscent of the rustic abodes of the PR Jibaro culture of yesteryear. Nestled in a cacao poly-cultral forest and just steps away from the pristine healing waters of Quebrada Lucia ( one of the few still uncontaminated streams on the island ), this rustic yet comfortable hut provides everything one needs- kitchen, shower, state-of -the-art composting toilet, bed alcove, pure , mountain spring water and solar power. Enjoy the kilometer of river cascades and pools surrounded by 500+ acres of the Barreal Watershed officially designated as an ecologically sensitive /nondevelopment zone bordering the Guilarte Forest Reserve. Walk the extensive well maintained trail system and enjoy the totally private swimming hole on the Finca. There is no environ on the island quite like this- the perfect place to retreat from the hustle-bustle of modern life and commune with the serenity and beauty of the forest. The sights and sounds will astound! 20 minutes from Peñuelas and 45 minutes to the beaches of the Guanica Forest Reserve

2 nights at Zen Den Nature Retreat on a River

The space was incredible. Very private and surrounded by lush nature. Close to good surf and not far at all from amenities and town. Would 100% go back.

1 night at Finca Remedio Permaculture Farm

Alexa & Naldo are so welcoming and kind we really enjoyed staying on their property. One night was not enough! The pictures of this properly do not do it justice it’s even more beautiful in person. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family & hopefully we are able to come back again!

6 nights at Finca Remedio Permaculture Farm

We stayed here for six nights and it was everything we could have asked for! The deck is open so you get to fully enjoy being in the rainforest, while the cozy bed and simple utilities ensure that all your creature comforts are taken care of. We really enjoyed spending time with Naldo an getting to chat with some of the other guests, while also appreciating how private and secluded our space was. Alexa and Naldo have created such a relaxing and welcoming place that we would certainly stay at next time we make our way to Puerto Rico, and highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get away from their daily grind.
