We came down here from New England in 1997 because we were invited by some locals to teach hanggliding here. At that time as certified HG instructors we thought ok lets try..came down here with our backpacks, a few hang gliders, and figured we would see how it worked out. Renting places to stay for a few years and including rooms for visiting students we had this opportunity to get and fix up this old house. It was a continuation of my dream to have a back pack travelers , adventure travelers, artists, LBGTQ friendly, off the beaten path type of place to stay. And so in 2004 Barefoot Travelers Rooms and Adventures Guesthouse was born.

Tomas was great! The place was great! We stayed in his private camping area with an amazing view. We had a rainy first day but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the site. Tomas made sure we had everything we needed. Even though we were tent camping, it was nice having a working shower, toilet, and sink near by. The pool is in just a great location to enjoy such a breath taking view. His art is very custom and overall just a great vibe. He has a little slice of heaven here.

It was a big open area for you to park. The roads are very narrow & super bumpy so be mindful of how well your car can get there. Small hiking trails nearby. The pool was cool to have especially on hot days!

We spent an unforgettable night at Jubilee Campsite. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. What truly made our stay special was the attention Tomás gave to my children during the art class. He was kind, patient, and made them feel valued from the very beginning. He guided them with care, encouraged their creativity, and turned the activity into something magical. Watching them so happy and engaged was the highlight of our trip. You can clearly see that Tomás loves what he does, and his passion shines through in every detail. The campsite is well maintained, the pool is amazing, and the views are breathtaking. It is the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy meaningful time as a family. We are definitely coming back. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful location and perfect camp spot to explore the island, close to Esperanza and Isabella. Have transportation lined up, either a local with good knowledge of the roads, or renting. Taxis are hit or miss. The casita has everything you need, as long as you’re prepared and don’t expect an Airbnb. Bring a headlamp as you’ll probably be walking a bit, don’t mind the rooster, he’s a good neighbor. Enjoy the island life!

Excellent spot, tremendous views, great price, you won't regret it. Tomas greeted us when we arrived and he was so welcoming and helpful. Throughout he was asking what we needed and if there's anything he could do to make the experience better. Mainly this was due to the fact that it downpoured for a good 6 hours on are only full day. It didn't matter. Luckily there is a pretty large space for the kitchen and playing games and relaxing out of the rain. There's also a patio near the pool to do this. The pool is amazing and the views at night and during the day are breathtaking. We were able To make a fire the first night and hike to the river. There's some trails and some hidden gems you just need to ask Tomas. He offered to take us to a trail for a hike but we just didn't have time because of the rain. Next time. He also mentioned a trip to a secret Beach that we also couldn't take advantage of. It truly is a great spot and a great price. We will definitely be making this a regular stop as we live on the island. Thanks again Tomas.

I really enjoyed the simplicity but also challenges of staying off grid. Bathing in rainwater and watching the birds catch wind currents on the hill. All of the neighbors were super friendly, and the local shop, Mambo, was a great place to stop for a drink and catch a ride to Isabel or Esperanza.

Barefoot Travelers is so much more than a Hipcamp. It features large clean bedrooms, a kitchen stocked for breakfast along with airy comfortable common rooms. Even with the house being as awesome as it is Keishya is the real star of the show. She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Her kindness and hospitality are second to none!

We had planned to stay for just a night but ended up staying three. The property is situated ontop of a mountain with a gorgeous view of the town, some mountains, the coast and also el yunque. The owner is very friendly and let us choose where we wanted to camp. We definitely recommend the lovers tunnel. It’s got lots of privacy, running water, a bathroom and an amazing view. The pool was definitely one of the highlights and the art studio was super cool. If you’re in Puerto Rico definitely come

A perfect host! The first thing that jumped out at me was how open and communicative Keishya was prior to our stay. Once we arrived we found her warm and friendly and felt immediately welcomed. The guest house was clean and well supplied and made for a perfect landing spot for our Puerto Rico vacation. I hope we get the chance to return someday. Thank you Keishya :)
