Perched at the edge of El Yunque National Forest along PR-191 in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, El Portal de El Yunque Rainforest Center welcomes you with the sounds of tree frogs and the cool, mist-laden air of a living forest canopy overhead. El Portal de El Yunque Rainforest Center serves as the official visitor hub for the forest, where interpretive exhibits, bilingual rangers, and trail maps help you make the most of every hour spent among the ancient tabonuco trees and cascading streams beyond its doors.
Very good work and a lovely lesson about the whole place.
