We provide shelter from the sun, rain and wind in artisan-crafted treehouses with hot and cold running water, electricity, a comfortable queen-size bed, a luxurious bath, and a well-equipped kitchenette. Each treehouse is designed to accommodate only two people 18 years and older. The property also offers a pool with a wonderful view and a plunge pool to sit in and cool off.

The kitchenette features a granite countertop, stainless steel sink, 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.

Guests have the responsibility to be sure that Yuquiyú is appropriate to their abilities and interests. An explanation as to why Yuquiyú may not be suitable for some people appears on our page titled We are not for everyone.

The treehouses at Yuquiyú are inspired by the small, wooden houses common in Puerto Rico over a century ago. Built on the side of a canyon, our humble dwellings float on pillars among the trees in one of the most scenic parts of the property — an outcropping of massive boulders. Above are the terraces for our organic garden, fruit trees and free parking; below is a cascading river and beyond is the rainforest. Click See More for more photos.
