Description
Situated in northeastern Puerto Rico, Yunque Peak is one of the tallest mountains on the island.
Rising to 1.080 meters above sea level, the peak towers above the surrounding tropical rainforest, which is the only one in the Untied States.
While climbing to the top of the mountain is always a popular option, one lesser known, but equally beautiful route is to climb down from one of its slopes along La Coca trail.
Starting at 435 meters in elevation, the trail starts with a steep descent down slipper rocks. This means, we’ll finish the half-day hike with a steep ascent over the same slippery rocks.
As we go along the trail, we will pass through some rivers, past several different waterfalls and along more rocky trails. While this may sound like a hassle to some, the scenery is simply amazing.
The trail takes you through the heart of this jungle and gives you the opportunity to see all the native plant and some of the wild animals that call this place home.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible half-day hike through the thick jungles on the slopes of El Yunque Peak along La Coca trail!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
