Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays with energies above ~ 10^18 eV provide anunique window to study hadronic interactions at energies well above thoseachieved in the largest man-made accelerators. We argue that at those energiesstring percolation may occur and play an important role on the description ofthe induced Extensive Air Showers by enhancing strangeness and baryonproduction. This leads to a significant increase of the muon content of thecascade in agreement with recent data collected at UHECR experiments. In thiswork, the effects of string percolation in hadronic interactions areimplemented in an EAS code and their impact on several shower observables isevaluated and discussed.
