Incredible videos! Thank you for all the recommendations for Puerto Rico! We are celebrating our honeymoon here this Spring, can’t wait to explore some of these treasures that you’ve highlighted.
ESO! Gracias por subir este video. Desde Maria, llevo años con ganas de volver. Nunca e ido al Portal pq ni sabia que era. Looking forward to exploring it when I finally go back to el Yunque!
WEPA! Gracias a ti por dejar un comment y por el apoyo! Que bueno que el video te motivo a descubrir algo de PR que no conocías bien! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷 Por eso hago lo que hago 💪🏼🙏🏼
It really does! I don’t really know exactly what was damaged, but maybe it has to do with the fact that it’s an open structure. But I have no idea. I’m just glad it’s open once again! 🙏🏼😄🇵🇷
@@BriksTravelGuides I found out that they spent $20 million to re-open it. I think it was part repairs and part upgrade and remodel. Dang, that's a lot of money.
Hey! Last time I checked you did need to make a reservation. We recently got hit by Hurricane Fiona so the park is closed to everyone at the moment. Hopefully it can open again by the time you visit.
Hi Brik, heading to PR in a week or so. If reservations show NR is there any chance of getting into the Park? Are there trail heads that don’t need a reservation? Great info on the channel!
Hey Matthew! I believe that they release more spots for each day at 8AM, so keep an eye out just in case. If not, you could visit the surrounding rivers and waterfalls. I made a video of them so check that out. A great hiking alternative to El Yunque is Toro Negro (not to be confused with the Toro Verde zip lines) which offers great hiking trails, similar vegetation and a breathtaking view. It’s further away from San Juan than El Yunque, but it’s definitely worth it. Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
Hey Mark! Thank you so much!! El Portal is about 45 minutes from Old San Juan. There are different options to get there. You might be able to find a taxi that takes you, but renting a car will give you the most flexibility.
