When the El Yunque Trailhead is closed, you can start on the Caimitillo Trailhead, just a quarter of a mile up the road to the northeast (towards Luquillo). Make sure that you register on the recreation.gov website/app and make a reservation, or they won’t let you into the park.
It only costs $2, and you can sign up for either an 8am or 12pm time slot, and they have Forest Rangers checking on your way in.

*** 11/25 limited access to El Yunque due to COVID-19. REQUIRED to buy tickets online (https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/facility/3000)
Great hike/views. Easy for experienced hikers (2h round trip). Last section of trail closed due to Hurricane instability. Can still access El Yunque peak/tower by taking LEFT at fork toward Torre Britton (not right to El Yunque Tower) and taking service road up to the tower (stay on service road all the way to the tower do not take trails).
Conditions: Great!

Muddy, foggy (no views) and last portion to El Yunque Peak was closed.
Only route options are Mt Britton (left turn) or Los Picachos (keep walking right of closed path). Good workout nonetheless.

Great hike, but had closures that weren’t clear on any of the available signage. El Yunque and Camitillo trail heads were both closed as were all access points for at Bano Oro and Bano Grande. The peak of El Yunque was also closed. However, you can get a great hike in and make it to Los Picachos and Torre Mt. Batton. You walk south up the road as if you’re going to Batton (worth the side trek to see the tower and it doesn’t add much time). Definitely wear shoes for wet and stones. It was steep at times but very beautiful at both the tower and the peak.

Loved this trail. I recommend going on a sunny day to see the amazing views at the top. It is a moderate climb to the top and you are serenaded by coqui frogs along the way. Trail can get muddy so bring sensible shoes/boots. Highly recommend El Yunque rock climb to top if you are not too terrified by heights.
Conditions: Great!

Fantastic conditions for hike. Started around 11:30 Am so started with a little heat and humidity, as we gained altitude the breeze helps cool off. Only mosquitoes in the streams.
Most of the way up was wet and muddy so it can get slippery in the rocks. We heard the way to El Yunque peak was closed so we turned left at the bifurcation and went to Mt Britton tower. Amazing 360 view of the forest and mountains. Rained a few times on the trail, at one point it was intense so we used our rain jackets.
After the tower we went down part by the road and part by way of the Mr Britton trail. Part of the road closures have you taking the road down to get back to the parking lot.
We had 3 kids of different ages and our dog with us.

We took the El Yunque Trail to the Mount Britton spur to the Mount Britton tower. We didn’t go to El Yunque peak. The hike was moderate, about 1 hr 15 min to the tower. It did not rain on us so the footing was easy – our chacos and Tevas did the trick.
The view at the tower is a 360 view of the rainforest. The hike itself has rich foliage, and several small streams beside it. Lots of lizards and large snails. We also saw a striped headed tanager, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers.

TRAILHEAD AND PEAK ARE CLOSED (not much signage about it there). You can start at the nearby trailhead like the description said. And instead of summiting El Yunque, where the summit is closed there is a branch off and you can do the 0.2 miles to the top to Los Picachos peak, still a decent view! Was less cloudy than the summit would have been. Trail is definitely muddy!

Elon Yunque peak is still closed (and probably will be for the rest of 2022) but Picacho tower is still open (very foggy when we went). Monte Britton is a good alternative where you’d more likely get a good view like we did. If it rains, just embrace it and enjoy!

This is a moderate trail.
It becomes very slippery when it rains so bring hiking boots with grip. This is a majestic forest and it was great to experience it on this trail. The forest is going through major renovations after Hurricane Maria as of 2022.

Absolutely stunning. I wish we were able to go to the peak but turned back due to heavy rainfall as expected in a rain forest.would love to come back again and go all the way up. Don’t listen to 1 star reviews from folks who didn’t do their research ahead of time for reservations.

April ‘22.
What a gorgeous area! This is a nice, easy-ish trail (but the very end was closed early April, and I heard that was a steeper part.) The very end is steep with some steps but only about 30-50ft worth. The rest of the trail is a very slow, steady incline that is not too difficult with a clearly marked trail, gorgeous flora and fauna and some views that extend out to the coastline! So beautiful. Bring layers (longsleeve for spf/bugs, raincoat, tank top as it’s humid), bug spray and sunscreen (and maybe a hat) and prepare for some mud along the way. Also, as of April ‘22, the mud wasn’t bad at all and the trail starts a bit back from the parking that the park maps indicate. Park in the parking lot but then retrace the way you came for maybe a 4 min walk and look for the trailhead sign on your left (you’ll have just driven by it). A gorgeous way to explore the rainforest.

Definitely try to get here by 8:30 AM as it gets much busier after 11:00 AM.
Nice trail which I suspect would be pretty easy for most AllTrails users. The beautiful sounds of the forest were meditative! The path to El Yunque, our original destination, was closed so we continued on to Los Pichacos instead and then took the spur over to the Britton tower on the way back. Views from the top were cloudy in the AM. Pretty easy effort overall.

If you are visiting El Yunque and would like to take a swim, take the Angelito Trail to the Las Damas pool in the Mameyes River.
At the end of the trail is an 8 foot deep pool of clear water with a rope swing. This is a popular swimming spot especially during summer weekends and holidays.
Beware of flash floods during heavy rain storms.
Limited road side parking is available. No facilities are located here.
The trail is located on Road 988, which is a left turn just a little after El Portal Visitors center on Road 191. There is no trail head sign, but you will find the trail on the right side of the road, at KM 3.5, which is just about mile after the river bridge.

Parking can be limited (and is essentially roadside), but this is a very well-maintained trail. It’s impossible to get lost. The object is to get to a swimming area in the river. Fish are in the river, and there is some interesting vegetation along the way.

I would barely classify this as a hike.
It’s a fairly gentle slope down to a river. The water is deep enough in places to swim and shallow enough in others to walk and only submerge up to your ankles. I even managed to goof around walking across some of the larger stones.
Great experience and a free hike that everyone can enjoy on a hot day.

Super super easy access, wasn’t packed when we showed up at 8 am on a Monday. parked on the side of the main road right after the map bulletin. Honestly the most beautiful swimming holes I’ve personally ever been to . There were almost NO bugs, we got bitten more on the beach than we did on this trail. Warnings: DO NOT HIKE ROCKS IN SANDALS!!! Rocks are (and I cannot stress this enough) SO SLIPPERY!!! be extremely careful when climbing through them, and most of all enjoy!
P.
S this place was pretty clear of trash and if you happen to hike here, don’t be an a$$hole and keep it that way. Leave it how you found it if not better.
Happy Hiking

Short and easy trail, slight downhill on the way there. The falls themselves are on the mild side of falls. There’s not really any falls but there is a rocky area that is good to swim in. There were 20-30 people there at 2 pm on a Tuesday but the crowd wasn’t a problem there was plenty of room for everyone.

Solid little trail. Didn’t need a reservation which is why we went here. Easy af to walk, basically paved all the way down to the pool/river. Not much to do besides crawl downstream through the rocky river, swim in the pool/look at fish, and go upstream which I didn’t get to do, just looked like more rocks. No signal on the trail or adjacent road so be aware of that

Rainforests play a key role in maintaining the good health of the Earth.
They are home to more than half of the world’s flora and fauna, supplying about 40 percent of the planet’s oxygen supply, and they also help maintain our planet’s fresh water levels and regulate temperature and weather patterns. The rainforests are also filled with beauty that is so impressive that you can easily plan a vacation around one.

Olympic National Park, Washington (Hotel Prices and Photos)
Olympic National Park in Washington State, approximately three hours away drive west of Seattle, is home to one of the finest remaining examples of temperate rainforest in the US, the Hoch Rainforest. While this is the most accessible rainforest in America, that doesn’t mean it’s any less impressive than what you’d have to fly thousands of miles. The lush forest is home to all sorts of wildlife such as elk, river otter, red goat and hundreds of bird species.
As Hoch has an average annual rainfall of up to 170 inches, it is also home to many species of plants, trees, mosses, ferns, and waterfalls. In fact, you half expect to see fairies living inside one of the hollowed out logs. One of the best ways to experience it is to get out on the trails, long looping trails make multi-day hikes possible, and in the inner corners of the park it’s so remote you feel like you’ve stepped into a completely different path.

Here you will have the opportunity to see bears, eagles and whales, go dog sledding on the glacier, fish for salmon and hike scenic trails such as the West Glacier Trail which leads to the face of Mendenhall Glacier or the more challenging Nugget Falls Trail which will lead you to a five-story waterfall, which is located next to the glacier. Of course, you can also just relax and enjoy the fresh air from the remote cabin porch.

On the island of Sumatra, a plot of land with an area of 98,555 ha is the Harapan rainforest.
It contains about 20 percent of Sumatra’s remaining forests and is extremely biodiverse. It offers a haven for the endangered Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros and about 300 different bird species. Visitors can travel around the area, embarking on a range of eco-friendly adventures available, including hiking one of four different trails, a guided river safari, or even overnight camping.
