We wanted to see El Yunque as a family. We're from the New Jersey area and 10 of us took the hike to the river and up the mountain. Luis, our tour guide has a passion about the natural wonder we were living in. He showed us facinating creatures, like snail with the shell on the inside, a plant that closes its leaves lile venus fly trap but just reveals it's thorny stems, blue fern leaves and an amazing river. The trip is fully worth it. I dare you to take as much interest in your ecosystem as Luis does his Rain Forest.

Diana was an amazing tour guide! She was kind, informative, and seemed to genuinely love sharing her amazing culture with us. I’ve been wanting to travel to El Yunque for years and it did not disappoint. Many of the tours I looked at seemed more adventure/ tourist focused with sliding down the rock slide and rope swinging. Personally I was more interested in doing some hiking in the forest, which is why I chose this tour. The rainforest is luscious and beautiful. I enjoyed hiking through it, seeing the mountain views, and seeing a waterfall. Lunch was amazing and Diana was super informative describing each of the typical Puerto Rican foods available at the kiosko. I went solo and Diana was so helpful offering to take pictures at the viewpoints. When the River was closed for swimming due to potential flash flooding, Diana didn’t skip a beat. She had a back up and brought us to a beautiful beach in Piñones where I definitely plan to return to spend more time and before I leave.

We did the tour with Diana and it was amazing! She was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure that everyone was comfortable. The rainforest was amazing, and the place you stop at for lunch is delicious also!
