Reawaken the senses in harmony with nature …
Become one of our treasured guests
We appreciate your considering Yuquiyú — a glamorous camping, or “glamping,” destination. We provide shelter from the sun, rain and wind in artisan-crafted treehouses with hot and cold running water, electricity, a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchenette and a luxurious bath. Surrounded by a tropical garden with a cascading river, each treehouse has an iconic view of El Yunque Peak.
We offer a unique experience — one unlike a hotel, resort, inn or bed and breakfast. Secluded, luxuriant and serene, our retreat is perfect for a couple seeking a romantic escape, newlyweds seeking a honeymoon destination or an artist seeking inspiration. We are not for everyone (click link), but if you have a sense of adventure, love being close to nature and want to experience Caribbean living the way it ought to be, Yuquiyú may be for you.
The treehouses provide a granite countertop with a sink and a two-burner gas stove, cookware, microwave oven, refrigerator, French press, blender, & kitchenware. In each treehouse, we provide coffee, tea and items to make a light breakfast of yogurt (notify us if you are vegan), granola, oatmeal, coconut milk, cashews, raisins, and fresh fruit. Honey, sugar packets, olive oil, Himalayan pink salt and black pepper are included. Guests can use the well-equipped kitchenette in their treehouse to prepare their own food, including eggs and dairy. Yuquiyú is meat free (from any kind of animal, including mammals, fish, fowl and others), so we ask guests not to bring meat onto the property. Additionally, plant-based dinners are served onsite at Huerto Escondido (Hidden Orchard) with a reservation made at least two days in advance.
Natural air conditioning: There is no mechanical air conditioning, but each treehouse has large louvered and screened doors and windows that can be fully opened to take advantage of the Trade Winds. As well, each treehouse has 2 floor fans. Puerto Rico has one of the most unvarying temperatures in the world, with an average high in the low 80s in winter to upper 80s lower 90s in the summer.
A romantic escape. A honeymoon destination. An artist’s inspiration.

We are not a hotel — there are no porters, receptionists or room service. You will need to carry your own luggage down the hill on gravel paths and back up when departing. When planning your trip, please keep in mind that check-in is from 3 pm. to 6 p.m. Lates charges apply after 6 p.m. (6 pm to 8 pm -$25, 8 pm to 10 pm – $50, no check-ins after 10 pm) because a staff person will need to return to the property. Arriving during daylight hours is advised. We will meet you and show you to your treehouse. Since early check-in isn’t usually possible, you may wish to stop and pick up some supplies at a nearby grocery store for your stay or consider our recommended restaurants & explorations. However, you may call the guest service number you will receive, to check on the status of your treehouse. Remember items for a light breakfast are included in the treehouses.
Check-out is at 12 pm. Just leave the keys inside the treehouse and close the balcony doors and windows. You may leave your clean dishes drying in the drainer. After checking out, you are welcome to store your luggage at recepción, and continue to enjoy the property until it’s time to depart for your next destination.

“Yuquiyú is unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been, in the most amazing ways. I can’t recommend it highly enough! The treehouse was gorgeous, well-appointed, and the views are unparalleled. You’re truly in the rainforest! I couldn’t stop marveling at where we were the entire time.”

“Immersed in the forest with picturesque views of the surrounding mountains, river and waterfalls from your private treehouse balcony while enjoying all the creature comforts. The perfect location – easy to get to and a relatively short drive to town if you feel like venturing out.”
