We had been looking forward to
visiting the rain forest, El Yunque which covers 43 square miles of the
mountains. Just the drive through the forest is beautiful, there are a number
of places you can stop to admire the view and some really lovely waterfalls.

There are various trails but as it
was a clear day we choose to walk to the top of the mountain, the path is well
marked and in some places is even concreted, so it is not too muddy. We were really lucky that it didn’t rain, we
walked for about an hour and half to reach the top and we are definitely losing
our fitness, it was a struggle but the views were worth it.

| Hurrah we made it and now we are getting blown away! |

Not much wildlife to see in the forest but did see a mongoose and some lovely birds.
