El Yunque National Rainforest

Coqui's Hideaway offers a home away from home, and a home away from the bustle of San Juan. Tucked into the lush foliage of the El Yunque Rainforest, this cozy rental villa offers privacy, independence, and one amazing natural setting.

The only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest Service, El Yunque is an integral part of Puerto Rico. A natural treasure, it is also one of the most popular attractions on the island.

El Yunque is all about getting away from it all, taking a giant step back and basking in a back-to-the-land environment. And the best way to enjoy Puerto Rico's verdant paradise is to stay at a small inn or B&B nestled in the rainforest. If that sounds good to you, El Yunque Inns is a great resource. I'm familiar with two of its member inns, and I recommend them both. In addition, the site gives you tips on what to do and see when you visit the rainforest.

With comfortable mountain-lodge style accommodations, gourmet breakfasts and one incredible natural pool a short hike away, the Rainforest Inn brings the best of El Yunque to you.
