IT seemed like a quick 45 minute trip from the airport to El Yunque. We had difficulty with our GPS, a map worked better and follow road signs. We paid $9 to enter at the Visitor Center and we enjoyed the interpretive signs and bought some souvenirs and water at the gift shop. IF you are on a budget, you... more

I have been to El Yunque three times now, but it never seems to lose its luster. A windy main road starts at the base of a massive mountain and continues up through the beautiful rainforest, with various scenic places to park and explore. There is a Visitors' Center at the gate to the park, but a stop here will... more

After reading the hype on the El Yunque Rainforest being marketed as the next “Seventh Wonder of the World” I knew this was a place that shouldn’t be missed. After collecting some very helpful information on the Puerto Rico Daytrips website, my husband and I were armed with the knowledge we needed to effectively spend our day here and see... more

It was super easy to get to the park. We stopped at El Portal visitor center since it was our first time. The cost is $3 per person. We watched a documentary about the rainforest, it was very instructive and I would recommend it to anyone that is visiting the park for the first time and/or people that are going... more

I most definitely recommend this if you're in Puerto Rico. If you're staying in Old San Juan take an excursion, it's worth it. We were hesitant to take an excursion, but didn't rent a car, and wanted to travel to El Yunque. We used Kayaking Puerto Rico Adventures and weren't disappointed. more

The rain forest is well worth a visit, but you only need a half day there. You can swim, or at least wade,and stand under waterfalls, but the water is really cold. What's really cool is the ziplining that's on the edge of El Yunque. Well worth the $100 (cash only). Requires an approx one mile hike up trails, so... more

El Yunque is an amazing national forest with plants you'll never get to see in the US. Be careful to get a map, as the maps along the trails can get confusing...I was with two native Puerto Ricans, and we managed to get lost attempting the longest trail! Also, this is an all-day thing, or it should be. So bring... more

beautiful, natural landscape rained on the way up. stop at the portal station informative movie.... more

My family spent 6 days in Puerto Rico, and this was the highlight of our trip. We decided to take the half day tour and wish we had longer. We started our tour at the welcome center. After watching the film, and learning about the forest, we stopped at La Coca falls. It is beautiful, and we got some great... more
