点评:Lovely visit the the El Yunque National Forest while staying in nearby San Juan.
About a 45-minute drive from San Juan.
No fee to enter the national forest...only an $8 fee when visiting El Portal Visitor's Center, which I recommend.
I followed other visitor's recommendations by getting there when the forest opened and going directly toward the end to Mount Britton. I was luckily able to get one of those few designated roadside parking spaces. I finished the Mount Britton Tower (Torre) in about two hours (45-minute, 0.8-mile walk/hike each way) before making my way back toward the entrance stopping at the other attractions along the way. Note that it is about a 25-minute drive from the park's entrance to Mount Britton Trailside parking...due to the speed restrictions given the sharps turns and hills.
As most others have said...the forest main road (191) goes one way through the forest, and loops back around towards the exit. Along the way, there are lots of stops...just look for the parking lots of roadside parking spaces and you will know you are close to an attraction.
I ended the trip with visiting the El Portal Visitor's Center...at around 3:30pm...and it was very empty.
I do suggest working the Luquillo Kiosks into the trip...given it is about a 15-minute drive away from the forest.
翻译:在圣胡安住宿期间,一定要去埃尔尤尼克国家森林逛逛。
从圣胡安驾车大约45分钟即可到达。
进入国家森林无需付费……不过参观埃尔波塔尔游客中心需要支付8美元的费用,我强烈推荐去那里看看。
我参考了其他游客的建议:在森林开放时立刻前往,然后径直朝布里顿山方向前进。幸运的是,我抢到了为数不多的路边停车位之一。我花了大约两小时登上了布里顿山塔(Torre);往返路程各需45分钟,行走距离约为0.8英里。之后我便返回入口处,途中还顺道游览了其他景点。需要注意的是,由于道路存在大量急转弯和坡道,且有速度限制,从公园入口到布里顿山步道旁的停车场大约需要25分钟的车程。
正如大多数人所说……森林中的主路(191号公路)呈单向通行,最终又绕回出口处。沿途有很多停靠点……只要找到路边的停车场,就知道自己离景点不远了。
我是在下午3点半左右结束这次行程的,当时去了埃尔波塔尔游客中心,那里几乎空无一人。
我强烈建议把卢基洛小卖部也列入行程中,因为那里离森林区只有大约15分钟的车程。
