El Yunque National Forest
Cascada La Mina (La Mina Falls) drops over 35 feet through a jumble of huge rocks and into a refreshing pool where hikers can choose to swim in the 60-degree waters or merely rest and enjoy the view.

We took a two and a half hour hiking tour thru the El Yunque Rain Forest. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Truly gorgeous!

El Yunque
One of the best hiking trails in El Yunque, the Caribbean National Forest, has been carefully marked by forest rangers. The trail, which combines La Mina and Big Tree Trail, takes 2 hours round trip and ends up at La Mina waterfall. Visitors take an after lunch swim in the refreshing pool.
