To get there, you’ll need a rental car because taxis or Ubers aren’t allowed. Despite its size, El Yunque stands out as one of the world’s most biodiverse rainforests. It’s home to many rare species found nowhere else on Earth. Since public transport isn’t available, you’ll need your own ride. Plus, with little to no cell service, calling a taxi or Uber for the trip back can be tricky.

If you’re up for an adventure, our trip starts at the lively Frutera Flores fruit stand in Luquillo. There, your friendly guide will pick out some tasty fruits for your tour, and you can also try some local snacks like fritters or refreshing fruit drinks.
