• Playa Luquillo - After exploring the Rainforest River, it’s the perfect time to relax, unwind, and indulge at the Luquillo Kiosks and Beach. Enjoy the stunning Luquillo beach and savor the delicious local dishes offered by the Kiosks. Have a wonderful time!

• Yokahu Observation Tower - This 69-foot tower, constructed by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (a former Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF) in the early 1960s, offers breathtaking views of four forest types: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on steep slopes), and Cloud Forest (on ridges). On a clear day, you can see the coastline and even the Virgin Islands, with a view extending over 10 miles. The dense, ancient forest of the Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in the upper Mameyes Valley to the east is also visible.

• El Yunque National Forest - This short trail leads through Tabonuco trees in the lower montane forest to the federally designated “Wild and Scenic River,” the Río Mameyes. As you approach, the sound of the rushing river draws you to Las Damas Pool and other popular swimming spots. This trail is ideal for families with young children and school groups.

This trail experienced significant flooding and damage after Hurricane Maria. The pedestrian bridge replacement was partially funded by donations through the National Forest Foundation (NFF), in collaboration with the nearby Wyndham Rio Mar Grand Resort and their guests.
