| We did this tour while on a Royal Caribbean cruise. This was the BEST excursion I have ever done. Glad you are up and running again! Darlene Darrow Garsteig |
| 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. For Night Owling (In Search of the Mucarito), please click here. |

Derek England recommends AdvenTours Puerto Rico.
April 11, 2023 ·
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.

Explore the trails of El Yunque and you will have the unique experience of seeing glow in the dark bacteria, insects, microorganisms, and mushrooms in their natural environment. Our target species are newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, lizards, critters, and the cocubá. |
| We need at least three or four consecutive days of rain to be able to find glow in the dark mushrooms. |
| Depending on selected hike and the elevation of the trail, we will be going through different habitats. As soon as night arrives, the musicians of the nocturnal orchestra of the Forest will start playing and the singers will greet you with with their songs. But wait, were these the first and only sounds the europeans heard when they arrived in Borikén? Listen careful to the rythm of the maracas, ocarinas, and mayohuacan. |

| Join Richard, our Master Guide 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. Where we go?
