    El Yunque Rainforest and Luquillo Beach from San Juan 8 hours

    Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico

    Departing from San Juan you can combine a visit to the Rain Forest with an afternoon at one of the world's most beautiful beaches. On the Northeast coast of Puerto Rico, Luquillo Beach is the island's best and most popular public stretch of tranquil waters and golden sand. The beach is a huge crescent of white sand lined with coconut palms with the mountains and El Yunque as the backdrop. Offshore are coral formations and spectacular sea life and tropical fish. The water is calm and comfortable - the perfect place for families!

    From here, you will easily explore cool, mountainous and semi tropical El Yunque Rain Forest. The abundant rainfall is shed through rocky rivers creating many cascades of waterfalls and pools. El Yunque hosts a number of unique plant and animal species such as the endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and the tiny coquis, indigenous tree frogs.

    According to ancient Indian Legend, the good spirit 'Yuquiyu' reigned on his mighty mountain-top throne, protecting Puerto Rico and its people. The name Luquillo is derived from this god spirit's Indian name.

    • La Coca Waterfall (no swimming, just taking photos)
    • Observation Tower
    • Bano Grande (no swimming)

    Customer Review
    "Seeing Old San Juan at night and listening to Debbie's stories makes this tour very unique. Also, what you may have seen during the daytime seems so different at night. It is another perspective of Old San Juan. One of her stories about the executioner's daughter makes Romeo and Juliet story almost a bore in comparison. She knows her way around and kept us interested all the way." Paul and Ellen Laincz, USA.
