Caribbean National Forest (El Yunque)
The Caribbean National Forest, 35 miles (56km) east of San Juan,
is the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Park
system and was named El Yunque by the Spanish. Its 28,000 acres
contain about 240 different species of tree and numerous other
plants, from tiny, delicate wild orchids to gigantic ferns.
Visitors can start their visit at the El Portal Tropical Forest
Centre where there are films, exhibits and interactive displays on
the rainforest. Maps are available and you can choose from dozens
of walking trails through the forest, graded according to
difficulty. Nearby is Puerto Rico's best beach, Luquillo Beach,
famous for its soft white sand and towering coconut palms.
