San Juan: ATV Double Rider Adventure at Hacienda Campo Rico

Summary

ATV trails, wild landscapes & local stories in Puerto Rico’s countryside

You’ll ride ATVs across 2,200 acres near San Juan with a local guide, stopping for stories about Puerto Rico’s landscapes and wildlife. Expect muddy trails through mangroves, quick breaks to catch your breath or snap photos, and time to relax back at the Mojito Bar when it’s done. It’s more than just speed — it’s those small moments you remember.

What’s the experience like?

“You sure you’ve got your license?” That’s what my cousin asked, right as we pulled up to Hacienda Campo Rico outside San Juan — and honestly, I double-checked my wallet just in case. The guard at the gate waved us in after we mentioned the ATV double rider adventure. It’s funny, I’d never been this close to so much green just a short drive from the city. The air was thick with that earthy smell you get after rain, even though it hadn’t rained yet — maybe it always smells like that here.

We met our guide at the Mojito Bar (yep, that’s really where check-in happens), who handed us helmets and went over safety stuff with a kind of patient energy. There were all sorts of people there — a couple from Miami, two friends from Ponce who joked about city folks not knowing mud. When we finally started up the ATVs, I could feel the engine buzzing through my arms. The first few minutes were a blur of dust and laughter; I nearly lost my sunglasses on a bump but somehow held on.

The trails twisted past mangroves and these wild limestone outcrops — our guide would stop every so often and point out birds or plants I’d never noticed before (I’m still not sure how he spotted those tiny lizards). At one point we paused by a lagoon and everything got quiet except for frogs croaking somewhere nearby. My cousin tried to skip a rock and totally missed, which cracked everyone up. It wasn’t all adrenaline; there were moments where you just…noticed things. Like how different Puerto Rico feels once you’re away from traffic and shops.

By the end, we were covered in red dust and grinning like idiots back at the Mojito Bar. Some folks stayed for drinks but we just sat there for a bit, watching clouds drift over the hills. I keep thinking about that silence by the lagoon — weird what sticks with you after all the noise of engines and jokes.
