El Yunque for Everyone: Natural Pool & Easy Rainforest Hike
A gentle, easy level rainforest hike that leads to a crystal clear natural pool, perfect for families, seniors, and beginners. No special footwear is needed since the trail is smooth enough for sandals, yet immersive enough to feel the rainforest come alive around you. As you walk, you’ll hear the river guiding you, sometimes soft and sometimes louder depending on the mountain’s rainfall, creating a peaceful soundtrack that welcomes you into El Yunque’s heart. When you reach the natural pool and take your first dip in its refreshing waters, you’ll feel why this place is one of the most magical ways to meet El Yunque for the very first time. It’s the kind of moment that stays with you long after you leave. To complete the experience, we finish the day at the famous Luquillo Kiosks, where you can enjoy local cuisine right by the beach before heading back.
