As we left the ship we were met with one of the crew dressed as a pirate. HA what fun and for sure a photo op to start the tour to the El Yunque is an excellent choice for a rainforest experience. It is a very gentle forest. In fact there are no poisonous snakes! On our half-day tour however I saw no tree frogs nor did I see birds, too much noise from the tourists. I did however hear birds.
Yokahu Tower commands impressive panoramic views of the northeastern tip of Puerto Rico.
The El Yunque Rain forest is a cool, mountainous, semi tropical rain forest in eastern Puerto Rico. The abundant rainfall is shed down the mountain through rocky rivers creating many cascades of waterfalls and pools. At the higher elevations the waters are clean enough to drink and delightful to swim in. Bring your bathing suit! The forest hosts a number of unique plant and animal species such as the endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and the tiny coquis (indigenous tree frogs) that serenade the evening hours.
