Take a few pics for the insta, but then put your phone away and take in all the beautiful green and lush nature around you. Don't be scared off by the rain, it makes the hike even better and special
A MUST when visiting PR. Plan to sweat and see scenic views . If you're not sweating, you're not having fun! Plan to arrive early to hike and take in the breathtaking views at your own pace.
The only tropical rain forest in the US, El Yunque National Forest has some of the best hiking trails and camping spots in the region. Don't forget to take a refreshing dip in the waterfall pool.
Great place for waterfalls , hikes , watch towers .. also do the angelito trail . It goes along a wild River with plenty of swimming holes and rope jumps!
Visited El Yunque again today! This time we went to Puente Roto, the cold river with huge boulders in it! Super cold water, crystal clear! Zip lining is also available. Best place to visit ever!!!
Bring your swimsuit and be prepared to be walking for hours and through slippery ground. It's a great experience, specially if you go all the way down on the tiny trail to La Mina waterfall .
palo colorado trees rot hollow inside as they age even as the tree still grows and lives, forming some of the most valuable real estate for the denizens of the rainforest
The drive is a little scary but the views make it worthwhile! Let your inner nature buff run wild - no tour guide necessary. Explore the natural wonders of the rain forrest and swim in a waterfall !
The forest was an unforgettable and breathtaking experience... the best part of our trip. The falls were amazing. Be brave and get in. You won't regret it!
Def make the hike into La Mina falls . It's about 25 mins each way but totally worth it. The water is cold so bring a towel to dry off after. Wear sneakers .
La Mina is a great waterfall and the entire park is breathtaking. Be ready to sweat and walk a lot. Bring water.
Great place to hike , short drive and just enjoy a nature walk. Stop at the visitors center for some information and snacks .
Don't do the short half day tour , they'll only take you along the main paths and you won't see much. Take the longer tours that go into the forest itself and find yourself a waterfall to swim in!
I do Tours here every week its the only rainforest in the Américas its 3000ft and some of the best water falls in the World and you can swim in.them...
Go to Juan Diego trail at precisely the 9.5 kilometer marker. The trail is no longer on park maps but is much more fun than the other trails . Watch for cobwebs. Hike till you see the big waterfall .
Considered to us as one of the 7 Wonders of the World! The Yunque will provide lots of adventure and excitement as you climb your way to the top, enjoy the breath-taking view ! Be sure to bring water!
National forest , great experience with nature. Drive to Luquillo, only 45 minutes from San Juan and have one of your best experience with nature.
La mina falls is a great short hike to do. It's paved the whole way so it's not too hard and there's tons of people bathing in the pool at the end
Just 30 minutes from the city , this lush national park is amazingly pristine. Hike around to admire its many waterfalls and secret swimming holes. For more, follow us on 4sq or at www.renhotels.com.
A wonderful place for tourist and Puerto Ricans to have an adventurous day. Bring good tennis shoes , because you'll be walking and climbing most of the time.
Amazing! Take the trail to La Mina falls . It's all free if you avoid the visitor center.
The trails are really well documented and designed. You don't necessarily need sneakers all the time for easy/moderate trail . Appropriate for any ages!
Beautiful national park with many waterfalls , observation towers and hiking trails .
La Mina falls is much better than La Coca. The hike on the big tree trail isn't too steep. Good for first timers and youngsters or elders.
You needed to go to the north aside to see waterfalls . The ride to the top is steep but doable. Motion sickness for the weak stomached. Beautiful + accessible but only one trail with no waterfalls .
Most of the stops are and typical attractions along the road are pretty underwhelming. Drive as far as you can up the mountain and do the 0.8 mi Mt. Britton Tower hike for 360 degree views !
Yokohu Tower provides great vistas of the eastern side of the Island , and on clear days (which, being a rainforest , are few and far between) you can see the Virgin Islands . Be sure to also try some Pi

A wonderful site to visit when you are in Puerto Rico. Look in the elephant ears leaves and you might find a coqui.
Be sure to bring plenty of water if you are going on the trails . The trails are super fun but you will get thirsty.
Unless you hike on the regular--make two day trips instead of one long day. Bring a poncho--you will get wet at some point.
Great place to see rainforests up close - good trails to walk through
Amazing trails . And waterfall was worth it!!

Get here early!!! Before 9 am if you like hiking by yourself. Simple hiking trails that have you looking more as to where you step than enjoying the surroundings. Yet, if you like a hike that gives y
Natural park , what more can I say. Simply beautiful!
Wear good walking or hiking shoes and bring a raincoat. Expect short lived heavy downpours, followed by hot sun.
Breathtaking scenic views , awesome rivers , great rainforest !
So beautiful!! Had a great time lived swimming there and the water was so pretty.
Try Big Tree Trail down to La Mina waterfall . Not a bad hike , and the views are amazing!
It's a doable climb, don't pass if you have time. Take it slow or race to the top! The extensive view is worth it. You can see the Luquillo beaches from the north-facing side. - Karina Valverde
