El Yunque

Everyone told us we should see the rainforest El Yunque on Puerto Rico, so we did.  It was a lot less dense than the rainforest on Dominica and you could hear the birds chirping.  Dominica’s rainforest was very dark, very damp and very quiet.  By contrast El Yunque was bright with sunlight and loud, and it didn’t rain a drop while we were there.  The temperature did get cooler though…  73 degrees!

We first did a small hike through the rainforest….

And ended up at a waterfall.

After that we went to the Yokahu tower which has views over the forest and down to the ocean.

Lastly we stopped at another waterfall and took in the views.
