El Yunque offers visitors a chance to see the only rain forest within the US Forest System. Although crowded especially during the high season, this is a gorgeous and diverse ecosystem with beautiful flora and fauna. A hike to La Mina falls provides a chance to really look inside the rainforest ecosystem and take home some beautiful photographic memories of... More

We spent a full day here and barely scratched the surface. One of the best times we've ever had. Wear your best walking shoes, since you'll be doing a lot of that, and allow plenty of time for your visit. Fabulous scenery. The waterfalls were amazing. We did not take an organized tour. We stopped at the visitor's center and... More

We visited the rain forest and we thought it was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. We simply drove up to the main visitor center to get a map and then toured the various attractions on our own. I really don't see any need to pay for a travel guide assuming you have a rental car. You can... More

Visit this forest and you won't regret it. Amazing views and true natural beauty. We took La Coca Falls trail and it was a beautiful sight. The views from the watch tower were also some of the best we've seen on the island. I certainly recommend this for anyone visiting Puerto Rico.

We loved this day trip! The hike into the rainforest and the viewing of the waterfalls are refreshing. We loved all of the trees and animal sounds and the water falls were beautiful...Wear your hiking shoes though, because flip-flops could be uncomfortable. The Visitor Center was beautifully laid out like a modernist home! We really liked it and I bought... More

Not having been here before, we chose a hotel-pickup 1/2 day bus tour to the rain forest. Had a blast! The tour was $50 per person, included hotel pickup and drop off, all entrance fees, etc. Did not include a meal, so we packed a snack. There are some restaurants up in the rain forest area. What they DONT tell... More

As new residents of Puerto Rico, we have been fortunate to meet some really good people who have become our new friends and for this recent Saturday our experienced tour guides. We bypassed the visitor center since they knew the way to where we were headed. We drove to the highest point that could be reached by car, which was... More

A little piece of heaven for nature lovers! Sound, sights and smell the fresh air will feel your senses. For the taino indians it was a sacred placed and it should still be for all generations. Rivers, waterfalls, natural pools, trails all away from the metropolitan areas makes for a relax day!

We had about half a day to spare - and went to this rain forest for a visit. The tour company and the guide who drove us there were excellent. The tour lasted about 4 hours - the place was about 45 minutes from our hotel. But I felt that the time was adequate and we could see quite a... More
