Rincon de la Vieja is also home to a plethora of wildlife and activities.
From the resort hotels of Hacienda Guachipelin or Borinquen Mountain Resort, you can participate in any number of activities such as horseback riding tours, canyoning tours, hot spring and mud bath treatments and inner tubing adventures.
