    This is a review for a short (one hour) visit since we arrived almost at closing time. You can very well spend the entire day exploring the many trails. This is a fantastic natural escape that's easily accessible with ample parking. The forest offers stunning views and various trails suitable for casual walks or more adventurous hikes. The heat can be intense, make sure you take plenty of water to drink and communicate the ranger where are you heading to. The forest reserve is a biodiverse hotspot, showcasing Puerto Rico's rich flora and fauna. Exploring the trails provides an immersive experience into the region's natural beauty and ecological diversity. It's not just a place for nature lovers; it's an educational opportunity to appreciate and understand Puerto Rico's ecological significance and conservation efforts.

    Unfortunately the hurricane destroyed a lot of the area as well as a part of the road to get there. The parking is a little further so it's a nice walk through the area to see all the beautiful places. Went there for the sunset which was really good and nice to see. There were only a few others. Roads towards the parking are good and the local people are nice as well.

    Marked trail. View from the fort and trail are spectacular. Bring lots of water to drink and no facilities.
