El Yunque National Forest

National forest · Río Grande

"El Yunque National Forest is a scenic workout. Hiking in Puerto Rico’s national rainforest is a must, especially for snagging a mythical waterfall Instagram shot (#nofilterneeded). More paths are starting to open up since being closed from the hurricane. You’ll be transported by the gentle croaks of coquís, the native frog of the island."
