PHOTO OPP
A great way to capture the beauty of the rainforest is with a climb up the 1,575-foot high Observation Tower. From the deck you'll have spectacular views from the coast to picture-perfect El Yunque Peak. And you may witness the famous tree frogs launching into the air from the forest canopy.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo mountain, you'll travel past a tropical paradise of colossal ferns, majestic pine trees, and hibiscus blossoms the size of platters and in colors that rival a box of crayons.
