El Yunque National Forest
CaribbeanAs we make our way up the winding roads of El Yunque, the rainforest comes alive around us. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting shifting patterns across the road, while the sounds of coquí frogs, rustling palms, and distant waterfalls create a soundtrack straight from nature’s playlist. Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of colorful birds, towering bamboo groves, and panoramic views that stretch all the way to the coast on clear days.
Throughout the drive, we’ll share stories — from ancient Taíno legends to the history of El Yunque as a sacred and protected place. You’ll learn to spot native plants like the giant ferns and the yagrumo tree, and maybe even see a Puerto Rican parrot if we’re lucky.
