Description:

This sunny mountain retreat overlooks the El Yunque Mountains Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico. Casa Cubuy offers a less stressful alternative than the busy North side of the El Yunque Rainforest. This quiet retreat lies nearly at the top of the road on the south side of the mountain. Casa Cubuy is perched on a hill above a river with many waterfalls. A short uphill trek from the house on a paved road brings you to the El Yunque National Forest. From there you can walk the old road to the slide area and beyond, with a couple of easy trails that lead to other rivers and take you through jungles of bamboo, palms, ferns, and fern trees.

From the house, the path down to the Cubuy River offers lovely examples of native exotic tropical flora and citrus trees, bananas, and plantains. The path crisscrosses the hillside and ends at a tranquil pool. There is a shelter to retreat to when it rains, or when the sun is high. The waters at this elevation are clean enough to drink and refreshingly cool. Just above and below this pool are waterfalls you can hear from your bedroom at night along with the song of the Coquis. There are nearby hiking trails in the rainforest to other rivers and waterfalls.

Casa Cubuy is remote. It has no TV, no nearby nightlife (although there are local pubs and restaurants a few miles down the mountain). There are no scooter rentals, no gift shops and no hassles, no traffic, no noise, no crowds.

The mother and son owner/management team, Marianne and Matthew Kavanaugh can tell you where to see pre-Columbian petroglyphs, and how to hunt for huge freshwater prawns. Marianne will cook a scrumptious breakfast, with plenty of fresh fruits and juices from her garden.
