Visiting El Yunque rainforest is a must do activity when visting Puerto Rico. Even better is to spend the day hiking and exploring the rainforest, including Juan Diego Creek which features the easiest walk / hike and a waterfall that feeds a small swimming pond in the park!
El Yunque rainforest is the only tropical rainforest in the US national Park system. The rainforest boasts a unique biodiversity, as well as spectacular views from the observation towers, and lush hiking trails with natural pools and waterfalls.
Juan Diego Creek
Juan Diego creek is a short, easy hike, less than 10 minutes walk from the trail head to the natural pool and waterfalls at the end of the trail. This is a super easy walk for a refreshing dip in the cool water after a more challenging (and longer) hikes in the park.
