Four Rivers.
Two Waterfalls.
One Invitation.

Private rainforest weddings in the mountains of Orocovis, Puerto Rico.

Three acres where four rivers converge beneath the rainforest canopy.

Templis Aquaria is a private sanctuary hidden in the mountains of central Puerto Rico — three acres of wild riverfront where four sacred rivers meet, minutes from El Chorro de Dona Juana.

Vows are exchanged on a riverfront ceremony deck while the forest listens. After heavy rains, a ninety-foot waterfall appears directly behind the altar. It cannot be scheduled. It cannot be guaranteed. When it comes, it is unforgettable.

Our creative team orchestrates every detail with a curated network of Puerto Rico's finest vendors — from elevated florals and private chefs to cinematic documentation and bespoke design. You arrive. Everything is already extraordinary.

The sanctuary

Aquaela Falls. Seventy feet. Every day of the year.

Your portraits beside a permanent waterfall surrounded by tropical canopy. Pre-ceremony, post-ceremony, or simply because you wandered there together between courses.

Aquaela Falls — 70 feet, year-round
The Experience

An Entire Sanctuary.
Exclusively Yours.

Seventy-foot waterfalls. Mist through the canopy. Peacocks crossing the path. Rain that arrives and vanishes. We shape all of it into something unforgettable.

The Ceremony Deck

Overlooking the river, surrounded by canopy. When the seasonal waterfall wakes, it falls directly behind where you stand to say your vows.

The coquí sing at dusk. The river keeps time. Rain may arrive during your first dance — and it will be the most beautiful part.

The Residents & The Grounds

They were here first. Free-range peacocks, chickens, and one very particular duck. They may attend your ceremony. They are not on the guest list. They do not care.

"A peacock decided he was part of the wedding party. He followed us around like he was waiting for his cue to give a toast. How many weddings have a peacock as a hype man?"

Two ways to marry in the sanctuary.

An intimate Ceremony Experience for the day itself, or a Sanctuary Immersion — a private estate buyout for the full weekend, all-inclusive, the whole estate yours. We welcome only a few celebrations each year, by application and invitation.

What Your Investment Holds

Long before you arrive, your celebration is already underway.

A wedding at Templīs is not a rental of space — it is weeks of quiet labor, a full team, and the whole of our attention given to a single weekend.

Three weeks of transformation

The grounds prepared before, restored after, so the rainforest meets you at its most radiant.

A private estate buyout

Exclusive use of the rivers, waterfalls, trails, and villa for your weekend.

A devoted team

A dedicated Client Liaison & Day-Of Coordinator, our in-house chef, and our personally trained service team.

Our chef's table

A three-course Nuevo Latino dinner, riverside cocktail hour, and fishtail service worthy of a fine restaurant.

Designed to the last detail

Your private design portal lets you compose every choice; we set it to perfection before you arrive.

Two nights of immersion

Your rehearsal night, the wedding, and the slow morning after.

Request an Invitation

We accept a limited number of couples each year and work exclusively with those whose vision aligns with the sanctuary. Respect for the land, the animals, and the unpredictability of nature is essential. Tell us about yours.

Templīs is a mountain rainforest sanctuary — stairs, riverbanks, forest trails, and uneven terrain throughout. It is not wheelchair-accessible and not suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations. Please let us know if you or any of your guests have mobility considerations so we can speak openly before booking.

We accept a limited number of celebrations annually.

The sanctuary chooses its couples.

Some couples arrive already knowing — the land, the water, the wild quiet of it. If you are one of them, we'd be honored to hear from you.
