What To Expect
Catarata La Coca
At an elevation of 1, 476 feet (450 meters) above sea level, La Coca Falls is a spectacular waterfall! The waters of La Coca Falls drop 85 feet (26 meters) onto a huge rock formation at the bottom of the falls. This is an excellent spot to take photos.
Torre Yokahu
This 69 foot tower was built by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (former Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF) in the early 1960’s. Four types of the forest can be viewed from Yokahú Tower: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular surrounding with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on the steep slopes) and Cloud Forest (on the ridges) are all visible along with the coastline and all the way to the Virgin Islands on a clear day (10 mile + view). The dense old forest of the Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in the upper Mameyes Valley to the east may also be viewed.

5.00Rafael was a great guide. Picked up at local hotel. Drove us with commentary to observation tower and small waterfall. Then drove to Angelito Trail for a short hike (20 min or so), which isn’t too hard at all. I did it in Teva sport sandals. But would advise sneakers esp if it recently rained. Rafael provided some info about the rainforest. We then spent a little time dipping in the river (lots of rocks, so need to be careful! Esp with kids). Then hiked back to the van, and drove to Luquillo beach for lunch/souvenirs and beach time (chairs and umbrellas can be rented there). The tour was a great mix of activity (sightseeing, hike, swimming and relaxing). The info was informative. Was doable with kids too (there was a family with kids 3yr to 5yr old, the younger one got tired on the hike). I would recommend to other to do.
Great day

3.00We had an okay experience with the provider. While he was nice, he didn’t share much knowledge about the attraction. The basic facts were given. In no way this was an interactive and interesting tour. So little was shared I thought we were just taking a regular city bus to drop us off and pick us up. I wish the guide spoke about PR, San Juan, gave a little more history on the way to the forest.

5.00Wonderful! Litza was fun, caring, very knowledgeable. Right amount of time at each stop. The trip was a leisurely pace and nice size group. Perfect for my 80-yr-old mother (very healthy and energetic) and me; there were also a couple of families 10-16 year old kids, couples, friends, singles.
