| Lets add more memories to your night... Ruta Taína @ El Yunque National Forest (Nocturnal Sounds Forest Bath) |
| If you are short of time or you are not part of a larger group, this could be your best option to see El Yunque when the crowds are gone! The trail at El Portal is a short loop trail of 0.3 miles within the land of an old coffee plantation, Hacienda La Catalina. This are is an excellent example of Secondary Forest. We will walk in the dark in search of critters and the glow-in-the-dark cocubá as our Ancestors did. Depending on the season, you will see endemic species coexsiting with other (coffee, breadfruit, plantain, and papaya trees) . Our target species are newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, lizards, critters, and the cocubá. If you are looking for owl, you should book our Night Owling as it is done in a different area. |
Imagine yourself growing over 1,400´ above sea
level, with exposed buttress roots helping you to
stabilize on unstable soils near river banks and
steep cliff edges? The shallowness of the soil
makes you the dominant species at this height
of the Forest. But you are not alone, other trees,
plants, and shrubs have adapted, including your
two friends: the old trees with red crooked bark and
those tall tress with a strong distinctive fragrance.
We will be looking at everything: from small
flowerless bryophytes, elegant giant tree ferns,
diminute newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark
mushrooms, bats, owls, and any other critter
showing up.

Hilda is amazing!!! She was able to accommodate a tour for my family of 12 people at the last minute. She
arranged a guide and transportation. My whole family agreed that the night time walk through the El Yunque rain
forest was the highlight of our trip. We loved seeing the frogs, lightning bugs, snails and hearing the laughing owl.
This was a fantastic trip. I highly recommend it to anyone.
