How Do I Get There?

Guests should be aware that a rental car is essential due to a lack of public transportation, taxis and car service outside of San Juan. After arrival at the San Juan International Airport and exiting Baggage Claim, take your car-rental agency’s shuttle to their office. From there, proceed east on Highway 26 and continue east on Highway 66 until it ends. Exit right, take the first right up Road 186, left at Km 25.3 onto Road 966, left at Km 1.2 onto La Pirámide, right and right again to the top of the hill, where you will see the Yuquiyú sign. Park on the flat, grassy area on top of the hill and follow the signs to our reception area. If you use Google Maps, select “Yuquiyú Treehouses.”

Yuquiyú is a rustic retreat in the foothills of Puerto Rico's El Yunque rainforest. We are a glamorous camping, or "glamping," destination that offers artisan-crafted treehouses with a balcony, designer furnishings, a granite kitchenette and a slate bath. Surrounded by a tropical garden with a cascading river, each treehouse has an iconic view of El Yunque Peak. 

We are within an area of northeastern Puerto Rico the Sierra Club calls "The Portal to Nature." From Yuquiyú, it is just fifteen minutes to the heart of El Yunque rainforest, twenty minutes to the famed Luquillo Beach, and thirty-five minutes to Old San Juan. With one of our treehouses as your base, you can discover the rainforest, multi-hued beaches, sea turtle nesting sites, coral reefs, a bioluminescent lagoon, ancient petroglyphs, a Spanish colonial city, and Culebra Island.
