Caribbean National Forest Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Just outside urban San Juan, Puerto Rico's natural and man-made wonders await exploration. El Yunque, about an hour east of San Juan, and officially called the Caribbean National Forest, is the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest system. The 28,000-acre preserve takes its name from Yuquiye, an Indian spirit, meaning "forest of the clouds."
