Enjoy Coqui Water Park

There’s a different sort of tropical canopy at Coqui Water Park at El Conquistador Resort.

Whether you’re riding the _El Gigante Dormido _or bobbing lazily in the Infinity Edge Pool, this island getaway brings whatever thrills and chills you’re looking for.

Canyon Jumping

It’s a wilder (and wetter) world outside Ponce’s city limits. Puerto Rico’s second largest urban center boasts world-class museums, restaurants and parks aplenty, which we recommend for any Ponce visit. But, we’d suggest you take a short jaunt up the Rio Canas, too, and into the highlands for a thrilling canyon dive into the pellucid river waters below.
