Editor's Note: El Yunque was formerly known as the Caribbean National Forest.
Quote: It's worth going into El Yunque rain forest just to prove to yourself that it's there. It's quite a treat to go from a hot, dry beach to a mountainous, cooler, and perennially raining forest. While taxis may charge $80 or more to get you to the... Read the full El Yunque National Forest review
From journal December Sunburn in Puerto Rico

From journal Relax in Puerto Rico

If you're staying in San Juan, you'll probably have to rent a car. Admission is $3.00. There... Read the full El Yunque National Forest review

Quote: It is such a change of pace. You will be one with nature. Very nice place to spend a day. There are small food stands on the main road and plenty of picnic areas on the main paths.
