Of the daytime tours at El Yunque National Forest, this is the one everybody talks about. We have adapted this activity to comply with the
new temporary regulations as access to the Forest is limited. If you consider yourself an explorer, Hidden Wonders is for you!
El Yunque National Forest is closed on December 25th.
|
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.
