To enter, you have to inform the security of the complex that you are going to the beach which will let you pass without any problem. They will also inform you where to park. At the moment parking is free. At first, it seems that instead of going to the beach, you are going to a rainforest. But suddenly you will see that the path opens up, and you will see a perfect crescent of white sand, with hundreds of palm trees growing pointing towards the sea.

Experience some of Puerto Rico’s lush inland beauty at El Yunque National Forest. Spread along the Luquillo Mountains, including Pico El Yunque, El Yunque National Forest is home to the only tropical rainforest in the National US Forest System. Walking trails wind through the forest, allowing hikers a closer look at some of the 240 species of trees and hundreds of species of plants (50 species of orchids alone), as well as an abundance of smaller wildlife. El Yunque’s peak reaches 3,500 feet above sea level, and the forest covers 43 square miles, including three-quarters of the island’s remaining virgin forest. El Yunque National Forest is one of Puerto Rico’s most popular natural attractions and is often visited on a tour from San Juan. The main highlights in El Yunque National Forest include La Coca Falls, Yokahú Tower, Baño Grande, Baño de Oro, and La Mina Falls. Located beside the highway, La Coca Falls features an 85-foot cascade onto boulder formations and is the first major attraction visitors will come to in El Yunque. The El Portal Tropical Forest Center is a visitors’ center for those seeking information on the area. Nearby is Yokahú Tower, a 1930’s tower that is open to the public to climb, offering good views out over the rainforest. The climate here is considerably cooler than along the coast and at lower elevations, and it is noticeably wetter.

The “granos” (grains) of Humacao are one of the most traditional treats in town. The granos are fried rice filled with cheese. At the town square, you’ll find different kiosks where they prepare them. Take note that vendors arrive around 5:00am and they ran out of granos pretty early. Make getting granos your stop before watching the sunrise. La Loma de la Niña Mariana is a community right in the border between the towns of Humacao and Yabucoa. The view from “la loma” (the hill) is definitely breathtaking. From up there, you can have a glimpse from the heights of the towns where the neighborhood is located at.

More than 500 years old, and the second oldest city in the Americas, Old San Juan is a mix of Spanish colonial history layered with present day Puerto Rican life. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with hundreds of restored 16th- and 17th-century Spanish colonial buildings. Today, you can dine, shop, or even stay in some of these beautiful old structures. The main attraction in Old San Juan, and one of the top tourist destinations in Puerto Rico is El Morro Fort (Fuerte San Felipe del Morro). Set majestically out on a peninsula, this fort dating from 1539 is a fascinating step back in time.
