El Yunque Rainforest Drive With Airport Transfer

Before flying home, spend several delightful hours enjoying the natural beauty and serenity of El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. After departing from the pier, you will drive inland for approximately 55 minutes toward the eastern tip of Puerto Rico and on to El Yunque. Although it’s one of the smallest national forests, El Yunque is among the most biologically diverse with hundreds of plant and animal species, many of them endemic. El Yunque averages 16 feet of rain each year, leaving the tropical landscape perpetually lush and green. The rain feeds countless streams that create spectacular waterfalls. During your visit, you’ll stop at one of the nature areas where you can take a short stroll to enjoy the natural sights, sounds and fragrances of El Yunque. You’ll also stop at the Observation Tower to enjoy great views of the surrounding rainforest. The rare Puerto Rican Parrot also lives in El Yunque, but you are more apt to hear one than see one. The most prevalent animal is the indigenous Coqui frog, a tiny almost weightless creature known for its distinctive “co-kee” song, which fills the forest at night. Following your rainforest visit, you will drive to the airport for your flight home.
