El Yunque

Very nice park, visitor center is the nicest I have been to, and the cafe had real food. A lot of trails are closed, so planning exactly where you want to park/walk is important. We arrived about 10 minutes before the park opened and were about 10th in line to enter. The parking areas in every location are fairly small. I recommend deciding what your top choice spot is and going straight there first thing in the morning. That way if there is no parking around points of interest in the future you at least got to see your favorite thing.

The rainforest and scenery were beautiful. The roads can be quite narrow and some of the drivers can be erratic. I went on a guided tour and was thankful they knew how to drive and navigate the area.

We visited El Yunke with an excursion and it was worth it. The hike is not too long and there is plenty of shade. Take lots of snacks and water and must wear water shoes. There is a lot of mud and rocks.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing. Easily one of my favorite places in the world.

Went here walking from Luquillo with some friends, not the first time, and we ate at te peak watching the sunset. I 100% recommend it

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
