El Yunque Rain Forest is a cool, mountainous, sub tropical rainforest. The Eastern side of the Luquillo Mountains, which has the El Yunque rainforest at the top elevations, gets most of the rain. The sub tropical Rain forest occupies very little area in Puerto Rico, only a single, crescent shaped, band on the windward side of the El Yunque mountains. Its' main features are the Sierra Palms and a superabundance of coquíes (the native frogs). The actual rainforest is at the top, you must drive to the top of the road and hike up to see the cloud or dwarf forest. El Yunque is a place that many tourists come to visit because of its beautiful rainforest and facts.
