San Juan El Yunque Rainforest Hiking
 On this tour, you'll see typical Puerto Rican towns until you begin your
ascent on a modern road through rapidly changing vistas of amazing vegetation. Tree orchids, giant ferns, wild
flowers and tropical hardwoods frame spectacular waterfalls and views of the entire northeast coast.
For an up-close tour of El Yunque that includes a semi-athletic hike, put on your walking shoes to enjoy a
35-minute hike to La Mina.
You'll discover an amazing world of nature trails, waterfalls, scenic views and the sub-tropical rainforest
habitat of Puerto Rico’s endangered wildlife.
El Yunque takes its name from an Indian spirit, Yuquiye, meaning "Forest of Clouds". There are many ways to see the
rainforest but hiking is the best way to experience this amazing place!
After hiking through the rainforest to La Mina (35 minutes each way), cool off with a relaxing swim or dip in La
Mina Falls (10-minute stop). Make sure you have a good breakfast before taking this tour!
The rainforest is home to more than 240 species of plants and wildlife, waterfalls, streams and hiking trails
leading to enticing locations. You'll see tree orchids, giant ferns, wild flowers, tropical hardwoods, spectacular
waterfalls and views of the entire north-east coast.
The tour stops at the most beautiful photographic sights, including Jokahu Tower, so don't forget to bring your
camera!
