リオグランデ市町村周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

This is a steep trail that takes you through the jungle downstream below La Coco Falls to Rio Mameyes. The lower half of the trail is comparatively flat as you walk along the water to the pools at the confluence with Rio de la Mina. This is a little more difficult than other trails in the park but well worth the effort.

This is a hiking trip where it always rains warmly, the higher you go, the harder it rains:)

La Mina Trail is one of the most popular trails in El Yunque. Starting from the Ranger Station, the trail descends steeply over many sets of stairs. There are many picnic sites and shelters along the way. Wear a swimsuit or quick drying clothing and take advantage of La Mina Waterfall at the end of the trail. A concrete bridge crosses the river and connects this trail with Big Tree Trail for some extra distance.

Big Tree Trail is a mostly paved, moderately steep trail. There is only one section with steps, but there are 70 steps in a row. There are many interpretive signs describing wildlife, history, and natural sights. The trail leads to La Mina Waterfall and meets up with La Mina Trail. You can see some of the oldest trees in the forest here as well.

This waterfall is a great place to take an ice cold swim. Wear good water shoes. Accessible from La Mina Trail or Big Tree Trail.

This tower was built in the days of the CCC. There is a beautiful spiral staircase leading to an observation platform with views of the surrounding forest and the coast in the distance.

Another observation platform with spectacular views, built in the 1930s.

This is one of many covered shelters in case you get caught in one of the daily downpours while out on the trail.
