The San Cristobal Canyon, one of the most notable topographic features of the island, it is the largest canyon in Puerto Rico (and in the Caribbean). Three rivers cascade through its ravines, some of which are over 750 feet deep. It is also home to the highest waterfall in Puerto Rico, right on the Rio Usabon. This is just minutes away from Hacienda 360. If you are interested, I can set you up with a guide. Keep in mind this is a rough hike after Hurrican Maria. Vegetation is over grown.
