This Caribbean Destination Has Bioluminescent Waters and Gorgeous, Uninhabited Islands — and It's a Short Flight From NYC

"El Yunque National Forest is the only tropical rainforest in the national forest system. The park lives up to the distinction with nearly 29,000 acres of dense rainforest inhabited by geckos, mongoose, bats, and 97 bird species. Perhaps most spectacularly, there are more hiking trails than roads in El Yunque, making the park a hiker's paradise — with 24 miles of trail leading to clear mountain rivers, waterfalls, and even a high-altitude elfin forest." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Just beautiful…. You can drive up the mountain. birds singing and view is breathtaking. Just go early in the morning to find parking spots. Cover your whole body and soak yourself in mosquito repellent. Otherwise you will be eaten alive and bits are itchy beyond imagination.

Incredible experience. We did Juan Diego Falls (turn right for the Upper Falls; it was worth the short hike). We also did the iconic Mt Britton (easy hike, but many steps so be careful if you have health conditions). Lastly, we went to Angelito Trail which was such a relaxing way to depart from El Yunque. The water was refreshing and there weren’t many people there at all. As of January 2025, reservations are not needed for El Yunque nor is there a cost. I do recommend getting there early though because parking can be annoying to find later in the day. Tip: the visitor center has a refill station with a clean bathroom and interactive exhibits (there is an $8 fee).

Beautiful views of the forest, fresh and cooler than the beach area. I wish we would had had a guided tour to tell us more about it but I’m not sure it exists. We visited the visitors center first and the staff didn’t tell us much but there was plenty to read before you begin your journey

Absolutely breathtaking! The random rain showers were so refreshing while walking up a trail. Only reason why I’m giving it four stars is because the parking is very limited towards the main attractions. Also, police were constantly giving out tickets to anyone who was parked in a no parking zone.

Surreal hike in the rain forest. Was a first for us so it was a very novel experience. Felt trails weren’t well marked or even marked at all but everything was well traveled albeit very steep. Towers are well worth the hike.

What a great experience. I would recommend everyone go. They have great tours if you don’t want to rent a car.

*Offers Military discount!* An incredible feast for your eyes! The colors on every plant were so vivid! We only had time for the short, self-led walk through the forest, but it was still breathtaking. The staff at the entrance gate were full of information, parking was easy, the food area had authentic and delicious empanadillas.
