The El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico is an amazingly lush spectacle. On our last day on the island, we found ourselves in the jungle; rock climbing, exploring, and diving into waterfalls.
There are no fees to enter or park. However if you visit the Visitor's Center there is a $3 charge. Pretty darn cheap if you ask me. Especially when you see all of this!

28,000 acres in size!
240 species of tropical trees...
20 varieties of orchids...
Hear the Coqui frogs and see large snails and other reptiles...
Swim under the waterfalls...
BTM tip! DO NOT swim with everyone else at the major falls...
keep walking and hike where you shouldn't (I'm serious)
and you'll find a spot all to yourself!
Also, it will take you almost an hour to hike to the waterfalls!

Dine on local grilled and fried fare at one of the few food shacks along the winding roads...
a dog greeted us at this one!
