El Yunque National Forest

This lush tropical rainforest blankets the northeastern mountains of Puerto Rico with misty peaks, crystalline cascading waterfalls, and endemic wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Wander beneath towering ceiba trees draped in vines and orchids, swim in emerald-green pools beneath La Mina Falls, or hike to the ridge-top views where clouds embrace the island's highest peak. The forest's 29,000 acres offer a living classroom of biodiversity where you'll encounter colorful coquí frogs, majestic Puerto Rican parrots, and ecosystems that shift from coast to cloud forest.
