Lily14 Posted November 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2016 We're planning to rent a car and head to El Yunque Rainforest for a few hours before boarding Jewel of the Seas. Any suggestions for which trail to hit or tips for getting there and back? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv0828 Posted November 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2016 There is a great visitor center with helpful park rangers and printed maps. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums This is a great place to start if you're going on your own. Ask about the Big Tree trail that leads to La Mina falls. It might be a 45 minute walk from your car to the falls but it's the less strenuous way to get there. You might find a lot of people at the falls but it you keep on the trail a bit further up after the falls you will find various places where you can enjoy the river in a more private setting. A bit further up the road from the Big Tree trail entrance is another visitors center a the entrance to other trails as well as gazebos where you can picnic for a while as well.

pdc2013 Posted November 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If you are limited on time i would skip the visitors center, unless you need a bathroom stop. Definitely do La MIna and their is one more that takes you to a pool and another small fall but do not remember what it is called. I am sure the rangers will tell you if you ask.
