EL YUNQUE NATIONAL FOREST
with a private Certified Interpretive Tour Guide
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 have four holidays, July 4, July 17, July 25, and July 27), we DO NOT OFFER tours to El Yunque
other than the Night Hike and/or Taíno Ceremony.  Access to the Forest is limited and we cannot guarantee the quality on those days.

Testimonial

Dear Hilda,

We just wanted you to tell you again how much we enjoyed touring El
Yunque with you on Wednesday. Attached are a few of the many pictures
we took that day. Hope all is well with you and your mother.
