Discover the wonders of the Caribbean National Forest with our experienced guides. Locally known as El Yunque, this tropical rain forest was first set aside for protection by the Kingdom of Spain in 1876, making it one of the first natural reserves in the Western Hemisphere. Currently managed by the United States Forest Service, the Forest counts with over 28,000 contiguous acres within the Sierra de Luquillo. With peaks, escarpments, myriad streams and waterfalls, and a lush green vegetation representing various forest types, the National Forest is truly a scenic paradise. It is also a naturalist’s delight, with a diverse native flora and fauna which includes many species found nowhere else on the planet. It is home to over 1,000 species of plants, over 30 species of amphibians and reptiles, 11 species of bats, and 68 species of birds, including rare endemics such as the endangered Puerto Rican parrot. Other less conspicuous yet ecologically invaluable inhabitants are fungi and invertebrates, of which there are also many endemics. Due to the region’s topography and varying rainfall patterns, the forest boasts four distinct vegetation zones: Tabonuco forest, Palo Colorado forest, Sierra Palm forest, and Cloud or Dwarf forest. To enjoy this reserve the Forest Service maintains 13 marked trails representing various levels of difficulty, ranging from easy strolls and leisure hikes to demanding treks up to the mountain peaks. Our visits to the forest concentrate on hiking and natural history education, with the option of a refreshing soak in one of the many natural pools and waterfalls. Our professional bilingual tour operators will guide you through a user friendly paved trail up the El Yunque Rainforest and to a lookout tower from where you will appreciate a beautiful view of our Island. You'll have the chance to refresh yourself in the beautiful La Mina waterfalls. The tourists will also have the opportunity to visit El Portal Visitors Center. We are sure you will appreciate why El Yunque is one of our great national treasures.
