I don't understand how people are visiting this place. We arrived just before 4pm on a Saturday and found the road was blocked with a rope and fence and "DANGER ZONE" and "DO NOT ENTER" signs. We had taken the 6612 to the 621 and then turned left. After about 3km we encountered the barrier. The mossy and overgrown road behind looked unused. We went back on the narrow road to the intersection with the 6612 and found a small "Visitor Center" sign that pointed in the other direction. We followed this and ended up on the 10, not finding the visitor center anywhere. We drove around the area some more, but could not find any other entrance. There are no hours on Google Maps or any website that we could find. We were very disappointed as we had planned one of our days on the island around visiting this state forest and had read that this was the best place to spot the endangered Puerto Rican Amazon. They could really put up some better signs, hours in Google Maps, or a website with information on when and how to visit. We drove all this way for nothing and wasted an afternoon. 😕
Fantastic experience…well marked trails and easy hikes! Highly recommended for groups, bird watchers and nature enthusiasts! We were lucky to spot multiple Puertorrican Parrots (see photos!)
Writing this review as an update to the previous two reviews. We attempted a visit on Monday June 30, 2025. The road to the park (621) deteriorates significantly along the way the deeper you go into the forest. The aviary at the end of this road is closed to visitors, and the visitor’s center at the entrance to 621 was gated off and closed when we drove by. There is active construction ongoing near the aviary, so hopefully this beautiful area becomes accessible to visitors in the coming years. All trails leading from 621 were closed with “danger zone” signs, so I think it’s best most folks considering a trip here wait for a formal update on the status of the park prior to attempting a visit.
Hiked with a group to go tubing through some caves. We saw some petroglyphs inside! The forest seems to be decently maintained. We rappelled down some cliffs and also jumped into the water! So many ways to enjoy the natural surroundings!
Like the previous visitor, we also drove down the 612 but encountered no barrier. But the road degenerated to a rough track. About 5km from route 10, we came to a building site - perhaps a new Visitor Centre! It looked a long way from completion! Back rear route10, we saw on the left what must have been the Visitor Centre and some grounds with a gazebo in. But it was all well fenced off. Most disappointing!
