El Yunque Rainforest: Puerto Rico’s Lush National Treasure
Located in Río Grande on Puerto Rico’s east coast, El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, and it’s just a one-hour drive from San Juan. Covering 28,000 acres, the forest is home to over 240 tree species, native wildlife like the coquí frog, and ancient Taíno petroglyphs. Visitors can explore 25 waterfalls, hike scenic trails, zipline through the canopy, or take in panoramic views from the forest’s highest peaks. Whether you go solo or join a guided tour, El Yunque offers an unforgettable mix of nature, culture, and adventure. Note: Entry reservations are required in advance at recreation.gov.
