July 10 we headed back to El Yunque National Forest, this time with a reservation. First stop was La Coca Waterfall.

Next was a short hike to the Juan Diego Creek Waterfalls

We took the trail up to the upper falls too.

Apparently, this waterfall was a lot more painful to stand under than the last one!

After lunch we walked around El Baño Grande

Once we left the National Forest, we headed out to find Las Paylas natural water slides. We started out on the lower, slower slide.

Then Carter and Daddy took a few jumps from the rock. Raine and Daddy went off hiking while Carter tried to catch a fish with his bare hands.

Eventually, we worked our way up to the big slide.

That evening we went on a kayak tour to the bio bay, with its bioluminescent algae. It was the coolest thing to see it glow as you ran your hand or paddle through the water. My photos didn’t turn out, but this is enough to remember it.
