Las Paylas, Natural water slide in Luquillo, Puerto Rico
The natural formation consists of two river rock slides formed by water flowing from El Yunque rainforest, measuring 15 and 30 feet in length.
Indigenous communities of Puerto Rico used these natural water features for generations before the area became a recreational destination for locals and visitors.
Local children maintain a tradition of guiding newcomers through the proper sliding techniques, ensuring safe enjoyment of the natural water formations.
Visitors need water shoes with good traction and should avoid the slides during heavy rainfall, as flash floods can occur in the area.
The natural water slides feature different angles and curves carved by the constant flow of water, creating two distinct experiences for different skill levels.
