El Yunque is the gem of Puerto Rico’s 20 rainforest preserves. More than 20 varieties of orchids and 50 varieties of ferns share this diverse habitat with millions of tiny tree frogs, whose distinctive cry of coqui (pronounced “ko-kee”) has given them their name. You here these very loud, mini frogs everywhere on the island, all day and all night. But you never see them.
El Yunque encompasses four distinct forest types, but for the untrained hiker, it is one big, dense jungle. Beautiful and primitive. Below are just a few pictures we took while hiking the many trails.
