La cascada la mina en el yunque es una de las atracciones más visitadas en esta maravilla forestal. El sendero la mina que lleva a la misma es de unas .7 millas y le puede tomar entre 30 a 45 minutos para llegar.
There are a number of covered picnic shelters (built of native stone by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930’s) available to hikers or picnickers near the trailhead. Each shelter has picnic tables, a barbeque and running water taps.
The La Mina trail is the most popular, hence the most heavily traveled trail on the EYNF. The trail follows the course of the La Mina River, a designated Wild and Scenic River, downward through lush tropical trees, shrubs and flowers to the La Mina waterfall (Cascada La Mina). Cascada La Mina (La Mina Falls) is an exquisite waterfall that drops over 35 feet through a jumble of huge rocks into a lovely pool where hikers can choose to swim in the cool refreshing water or merely rest and enjoy the view. Water temperature is 60 – 65 degrees F.

a month agoThe trail to the waterfall is still closed. The gift shop at the top of the trail is open and I asked the employee for an update on the reopening. They said the trail has remained closed since Hurricane Maria in 2017. They were making progress and then Hurricane Fiona hit. They hope to open again by end of 2025.

2 years agoThis is a beautiful waterfall and I think it is one of the most popular ones in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately it has been shut down since the Hurricane. It is located at the end of the most popular trail in the El Yunque National Forest. The trail follows the course of the La Mina river, passing many tiny Cascades and tiny pools filled with cold and clear mountain water. The trail begins at the Palo Colorado Information center located at PR 191, 12.2 KM mark. You will need special permission from the authorities to get there since it's the trail is closed down due to the hurricane.

4 years agoThis waterfall is in the EL Yunque National Park, a tropical rain forest in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. El Yunque is a must see item in my view as part of any trip to Puerto Rico- its really a unique place. Many of the trails in El Yunque are still closed because of Hurricane Maria which occurred about two years ago. However I saw many people at or near the La Mina Falls. It is right off the side of the road. Many people climb the rocks near the falls. I wouldn't recommend it as the rocks are quite wet and you can easily break an arm or injure yourself. However many of the people on our tour were doing this and were having a great time. El Yunque and Cascada La Mina are amazingly beautiful places that everyone should get to at least once in their lifetimes.
