efforts in the forest and the entire island.

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.

| Due to the number of people visiting El Yunque National Forest during the Holy Week/Weekend (Wednesday through Sunday, including Good Friday and Easter) and the month of July, we DO NOT OFFER tours to El Yunque other than the Night Hike and/or Ancestral Areyto. Access to the Forest is limited and we cannot guarantee the quality during those days. |
| For European Nations, please contact us only via regular phone or email. |

| 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.
This is home for three important
species growing at El Yunque:
Sierra Palm (Prestoea montana),
Tabonuco (Dacryodes excelsa),
and Palo colorado (Cyrilla
racemiflora).
We will be looking at everything:
from small flowerless briophytes,
elegant giant tree ferns, diminute
newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark
mushrooms, bats, owls, and any
other critter showing up.
