Pico El Yunque or El Yunque Peak is a mountain that is located fully within the boundaries of the El Yunque National Forest, part of the U.S. Forest Service, which is the only tropical rainforest that belongs to the U.S. Forest Service. The peak itself is one of the highest in Puerto Rico, standing at 1,080 metres above sea level. The peak is nearly always covered in thin mist and, due to its high humidity, a quick shower develops during some afternoons. " El Yunque" is the biggest rainforest in the Caribbean. As part of El Yunque there are a few rivers like El Espiritu Santo . It takes almost 4 and a half hours walking to get from Minas Falls to " El Pico ".
El Yunque is classified as having a tropical rainforest climate, Köppen climate type 'Af', along with surrounding areas. The average temperature of the park is 21°C, and seasonal variation virtually nonexistent. The rugged area can receive over 200 inches of annual rainfall and is the rainiest of all US national forests.
