    Hi Melissa! Thank you for the support! Yes, you could visit both. Puente Roto is extremely easy to get to so if you want to move to Angelito's Trail you'll be able to do it really quickly. Juan Diego is located within the main visitor area of el Yunque. To visit it you'll need to get a ticket on their website. It's about 19 minutes away from Puente Roto whereas Puente Roto is only about 2 minutes away from Angelito's Trail. Hope that helps!

    Hey! There are some trails that are open and some that are closed. Your best bet for up to date info on the trails is the US Forest Service - El Yunque Facebook page or their website. The Juan Diego Trail that I talk about on this video is open, and the other spots are outside of the main visitor area so they are likely open as well. I’ve never been to Survivor Beach, but I’ve been told it is beautiful! However, you need to check if the tide is high because if it is, you might not be able to do the complete hike.

    Hi Cathy! Thank you so much for commenting! You would just need to reserve on the website recreation.gov for the Juan Diego Trail waterfall since it is located inside El Yunque's main visitor area. All others are outside of this area so you can go at any time, though you might need the permission of land owners to access trails such for Las Paylas. Hope that helps!

    Hey Swaizy! Yes, you’d still need to get tickets to visit the main area of el Yunque where you can get to the very top. The only river on this list you do need tickets for is the Juan Diego Falls, the rest you can visit without tickets.

    That's amazing! I hope you'll be able to visit many great places during your visit! Try visiting the Cavernas del Rio Camuy which reopened recently. I made a video of everything you should expect from your visit. To book a tour with them, you can try to call the numbers in the description, but honestly they're short staffed so your best bet if that doesn't work is to just shop up to the park and hope they give you a tour. Not ideal, but worth it if you have the time.

    Hey! Yes you can! Las paylas is outside of the recreational area managed by the forest service so you won’t have to reserve beforehand to visit it. However, you’ll likely need to pay to park in front of a locals house or even inside their house. Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

    Hey Luis!! Thank you!! You might see snakes, but they’re native to PR and most of them are relatively small. As for gators and caymans, that has been a problem for a while. Every so often you see news of authorities capturing one, but they’re often in the same areas. Luckily, generally not at rivers people frequent for swimming.

    I would say they are all easy to get to except Las Tinajas if you walk up river from the first parking you see on the street. There’s a parking at the very end of the street that has a easy trail to the riverbed.

    Hey Matt!!! I love saving comments like yours so I can look back in the future and thing “wow, that seemed like a crazy dream, but here we are!” 😄🙌🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much!! La Mina is inside of the main recreational area but it is still closed because of damages after hurricanes. However, the Forest Service recently started to repair the trail to La Mina. Not sure when they’ll finish it, but I assume it’ll take some time. La Coca Waterfall is inside of the main recreational area and can be easily viewed because it is right next to the road after you enter the ranger’s checkpoint to enter. Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

    Hi Erika! Thank you so much for your comment and support! It really does depend. In general it always rains a bit since Las Tinajas is close to El Yunque which is a rainforest. If I were you I'd download a satellite weather app like MyRadar to check the weather on the days before and on the day you plan to go to Las Tinajas. If it's raining, I wouldn't go since it can be dangerous. Hope that helps! Be safe and enjoy Puerto Rico!

    Oh wow! Yeah, a lot of people get lost in El Yunque, specifically if they venture to the Naguabo side of El Yunque which doesn't have rangers monitoring the access. A lot of people get lost or injured when visiting the Infinity Pool de Naguabo, which is a challenging 3 hour hike just one way, and most people don't go adequately prepared for that.
