El Yunque National Forest

El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest under the protection of the US Forest Service, sprawls across the mist-wreathed Luquillo Mountains in Puerto Rico. This expansive nature reserve, the largest on the densely populated island, benefits from year-round precipitation, fostering lush, green landscapes and a rich diversity of animal life. Visitors can explore the forest’s vibrant ecosystem, home to the rare Puerto Rican parrot and the iconic coqui frog, whose distinctive croak fills the air. The forest’s trails wind through dense foliage, offering a serene and immersive experience in one of the Caribbean’s most unique natural environments.
