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!
If you like the look of this trip then we think you might also like our half-day hike up El Yunque Trail to the top of the mountain!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
