Lost in Lushness
Winding through lush palms and misty trails, this quiet forest path leads to Moncayo’s hilltop retreat — where the temperature drops, the air clears, and every step brings you closer to stillness. The journey is as grounding as the destination.
Angelito Trail & Swimming Hole
A lesser-known gem for a refreshing dip, this short trail leads to a natural pool on the Río Mameyes – perfect for a magical escape surrounded by dense rainforest.
Los Picachos Lookout
A short but steep hike off the main El Yunque Trail leads to Los Picachos, a stunning vantage with views of the forest, Moncayo’s coastline, and even the distant islands on a clear day.
La Coca Falls
Tucked just off the main road, this dramatic 85-foot waterfall cascades over smooth, sculptural rock formations – a postcard-perfect scene that feels hidden in plain sight.
La Cotorra Puertorriqueña
Once critically endangered, the vibrant green Puerto Rican parrot can still be spotted deep in El Yunque’s forest, darting between the canopy. Listen for its distinctive call echoing through the trees.
