Behold the tropical beauties of El Yunque National Forest. Inside this paradise you'll see colossal ferns, majestic pine trees, and platter-sized hibiscus blossoms. A photo stop at La Coca Falls is a great introduction to the forest. Cascading 85 feet down mossy cliffs, you can carefully climb up slippery rocks for a close-up view. Even more photo opportunities await at the Observation Tower. Rising 1,575 feet above sea level, a climb to the top rewards you with spectacular views. Sprawled out over a vast 28,000 acres, the forest is home to 240 species of trees, 50 species of ferns and 20 different varieties of beautiful wild orchids.
