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!
