When I was little there were many tales of people disappearing in the trails to never be found again. Also if ovnis or ufos being seen a lot there. So I mostly saw things from the car when I visited with my family when i was little. Glad to see others showing all the beauty contained there.
I know a lady now in her 50s whose high school seniors went on a day trip to this rain forest and lost a classmate. Her friend wandered off and was never seen again. Honest truth.
Yeah basically that’s what I was implying. People disappeared to never be seen again or abducted by ufos. I’m not sure if it is florklore or a mix of different cases.
I was born in NYC and raised in PR I'm puertorican. I just happen to carry my husbands last name. I've been enjoying your videos they bring back memories. I've been living in the states now for over 25 years.
Hi Jen, just subscribed we are headed there tomorrow morning, yep got our reservations. Excited to venture into the rainforest to check things out. Thanks again for the video
@@JenThereDoneThat/ Probably in Winter lol I have family in Puerto Rico my mother is a beautiful puerto rican registered nurse Woman from surgery room, she's from Santurse Puerto Rico but she part her childhood years in Carolina Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico indigenous ancestors Arawaks Tainos island original name is Borikén were my mother was born and this gorgeous island in the greater antilles between the atlantic ocean and caribbean ocean in central america is not a country is a United States territory property since 1898 🇵🇷 🇺🇲
There are many, many treasures to see and explore. If there are too many people and cars, then you cannot park or enjoy the park. If I cannot get a reservation on a certain day, then I pick another day to visit.
Hello. Beautiful place El Yunque. You promote our island in a better way than most agencies. I know about mermaids in the ocean but not in El Yunque... Thanks for sharing..
Hi Jan from Palm Beach 🏖 I always enjoy your videos and all the information you bring to your videos followers including myself.My family were from Ponce.
thanks so much, i have been looking forward for more current videos from you! I wonder, do you plan i staying in Puerto Rico indefinetely, or you want to move back to the states at some point?
Its nice to see that El Yunque is really coming back after Maria, the videos I saw shortly after the hurricane were devastating. Not sure how much of the canopy is back but it certainly looks green and lucious!
Thank you for the information. Have to make a trip to El Yunque one of these days. I love the rainforest. How long was the trail you took? Thanks for sharing and glad that your back
... congratulations on achieving a good blend of low pitch background music,( that alone usually downgrade other videos of any topic, imo ). ... too bad some of the trails and the Tower are close, back in the days was always open to me. Must be the Pandemic or maybe is a bit unsecure since its been like 30 years.
There are lots of new travel restrictions. You may be able to get a reservation for El Yunque rainforest jentheredonethat.com/juan-diego-creek-el-yunque-rainforest/ Otherwise, you will be limited to restaurants and hotel amenities (which are limited currently).
I went by el condado tonight Sunday and saw a good amount of movement with places opened and ppl eating I guess ice cream outside around 830pm which was a surprise providing the curfew goes from 10pm to 5am. I just got here yesterday. It kinda sucks but I’m so happy I’m here though. The beach looked gorgeous today. There’s supposed to be bad stormy weather coming up this weekend.
I tried to walk at the isla verde beach today Sunday and a cop told me I couldn’t even walk there but he said it was only this Sunday bc it’s a long holiday weekend with Monday off for the island and ppl are too crazy and many don’t follow the rules so all paid as sinners basically.
My Puerto Rican mother always warned us of liver flukes in the water. Maybe there are no livestock near the El Yunque waters. I’ve always been afraid to contract liver flukes.....
No, it is much easier and better to go on your own. Get the reservation online and bring plenty of water, wear good hiking shoes or treaded water shoes. jentheredonethat.com/juan-diego-creek-el-yunque-rainforest/ jentheredonethat.com/first-visit-el-yunque-rainforest/
There are limited areas that are wheelchair and stroller accessible in the rainforest. Only la Coca Falls is wheelchair/stroller accessible as it is visible right off the main road.
My mom lives in Carolina. I love isla verde but it’s pricey there. I would also consider the mountains in Carolina or next town over in canovanas or even rio grande which is where el yunque is. Where are u moving to?
Hi Jen. I'm a local P.R love your informative videos. But I strongly suggest you work on your pronunciation! The way you pronounce it sounds to us Puerto Ricans like junkyard. Just saying!
Yes it was free until COVID. Now the reservation system limits the number of vehicles in the rainforest. The $2 per vehicle is likely to cover some of the cost of the reservation system and people working the gate for check-in.
Business lockdown is over - czcams.com/video/oGl8qh4odrA/video.html The latest restrictions specifically target tourism. Beaches are for limited exercise only, no chairs or coolers allowed to prevent "hanging out". Restaurants are limited to 50% capacity, most require reservations. Curfew is 10 pm, and in July alcohol cannot be sold after 7PM.
JenThereDoneThat thank you so much! You have just given us something to do while there. Do you have any other recommendations for hiking or places to see that are still open?
The travel restrictions change frequently, as of July 21 beaches are closed except for certain activities, chairs & coolers are not allowed. Check out the entry requirements ( and the latest requirements) a couple weeks before your trip. english.sjuinsider.com/
Thanks, how intrusive is wildlife in the rainforest? My gf is worried about running into tons of big spiders and such and bringing them back accidentally.
Stay on the trails and you will be fine. Look before you site and just be aware of your surroundings while hiking, and they should not be a problem with rouge bugs & inspects.
I wish I was there with you it's beautiful I live in Florida and a situation is horrible right now you have stores packed with people and nobody wearing a mask is crazy a right now
That is nuts! Masks are mandatory here (and a good idea, even if it was optional). I barely go anywhere around people, so it was extra wonderful to go hiking with just my little group on the trail.
Myrtle Beach South Carolina a lot of the bartenders have coronavirus and are still working we call South Carolina governor's office we were told that is not against the law and if they don't work how are they going to pay their bills it's crazy what are they doing here
That's too bad you believe coronavirus is real get your head out the gutter the media you've been glued to all your life is controlled by 5 different corporations controlling the narrative of what journalist say. So called corona test kits have 80 percent false positive and a morality rate of 0.1 its clearly a hoax your so terrified for nothing you need to do research before you fall deeper in fear.
not only Corona is real I have had four friends die from it in the last month my wife's niece work for the CDC it's telling us that it's a lot worse that the Trump Administration is allowing us to know I personally was poster boy for Time Warner sales I know how people brain work they rather believe a lie than to believe the truth even when it's staring them in the face
this is not towards the person that’s doing the video, or the people that are visiting the island. I am just speaking, the truth. How is this the only rain forest in the United states of America. When Puerto Rico is not even a state that is a slap for the Puerto Ricans. This is upsetting to me because where I live, I am not accepted. I cannot live in any neighborhood without anybody calling the cops on me or anybody else of color. In Puerto Rico you see all types of skin colors and shades. You do not hear or see anybody getting killed or beaten for the color of their skin. l love Puerto Rico and the other Latin countries, we accept all shades, and we welcome, but it’s unfortunate. It’s not the same for us, it would be nice if everyone can get along and love one another and respect one another’s cultures. And yes, the island is beautiful, but is slowly being destroyed by cutting down so many trees and mangroves, it’s turning into a concrete jungle and it hurts me.
It odd, I heard news about Puerto Rico it quarantine and closing everything for tourists and local people in areas like that. I'm guessing, you must be learning and respecting Puerto Rico culture, it history and language. Locals tend to appreciate that a lot and respect people even more for that matter. It would be unfair for them, if you taking advantage of their land and/or using as your own profit and not learning nothing from their culture and traditions.
Yes, I am learning quite a bit about the culture and history in my 4+ years of living on this beautiful island. Maybe you will like this one - czcams.com/video/ggnrERB1BbA/video.html
That nice, but it not enough just seen some architecture old building around the island. Learning deeper ground level of their history and culture with help you understand the locals and their hatred for certain things. I suggest you read this book called, Puerto Rico: An Interpretive History from Pre-Columbian Times to 1900 by Olga Jimenez de Wagenheim. Also this other book called, El Grito De Lares: Puerto Rico's Revolt for Independence, 1868 by Olga Jimenez de Wagenheim. They are both in English. www.amazon.com/dp/1558761225/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SLDgFb65VFCFS www.amazon.com/dp/1558760717/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6MDgFbM317KGC I gave you the link for both of the books, I just mentioned above on where you can purchase them. You can read them while exploring the island. Then again, you have no idea how important is to learn this information for the locals here. Knowledge is like a garden; if it is not cultivated, it can't be harvested.
Thy Luda OMG! Ok. That would be great but why impose all of that on someone that’s appreciating the culture and the place. Ur suggestion Is great but I believe people learn when they become curious about a people on their own and all of that history always comes up at some point even in conversations and most definitely in the local media. Best to give room to people to become curious at their own pace. I would hate if I moved to a new country and someone is making me feel like I need to learn every nook and cranny of their history. Ez does it.
@@videowaves1801 I don't know why you jumping in into people conversations. I guess you neither, get yourself educated. If you move into a another country is because you found interest, curiosity, and appreciation about it. But you can't just leave there to understand people way of life and thinking, you have to know about it in a deeper level. You never get it, if you only look at pages superfacially and understand in one day how everything works. One thing for sure, every country is not America, meaning there different social norms and thinking in each country. There no call freedom like they do in America, that why it comes handy getting yourself educated and knowledgeable on where you decide to live. I'm guessing you are those type of people who signed a contract without reading, to later found out it not how you pictured it.
Thy Luda this is not a private conversation. U are posting on a public forum for all to read and comment if they wish. The only person who can decide about the comments here is the channels creator. Not sure why U take my commentary personally. U think people should have the curiosity to learn about a culture in depth and I say let it happen for her organically. Ur book suggestion is great. Maybe is not what u say but how u say it. I’m from The island and although I live in the states all my family lives here so many im on the phone with them daily and come here couple of times a year. So I am experienced living in PR and living in the states. The whole pride thing is great but not cool to impose it. Suggestions are great. That’s all I’m saying. I mean no disrespect.
O man... That pronunciation of El yunque lol. Also little tone deaf of a video when the reservation system is in place due to a global pandemic.... and not even mention that. Like this comes off as a blissful ignorant take... "The park is great w/o anyone!".... When that anyone is told to stay home while thousands die a day globally from a pretty preventable disease.
You living the good life in paradise Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanks for the video ❤💯
Yes! This is paradise!
WOW Spectacular Images 🇵🇷♥️
When I was little there were many tales of people disappearing in the trails to never be found again. Also if ovnis or ufos being seen a lot there. So I mostly saw things from the car when I visited with my family when i was little. Glad to see others showing all the beauty contained there.
There are many tales of people getting lost. I think it is told so that visitors stay on the trail and do not wander off.
If you getting lost use GPS in your smartphone
I know a lady now in her 50s whose high school seniors went on a day trip to this rain forest and lost a classmate. Her friend wandered off and was never seen again. Honest truth.
Yeah basically that’s what I was implying. People disappeared to never be seen again or abducted by ufos. I’m not sure if it is florklore or a mix of different cases.
@@exelvalentine300 Those stories are from before smartphones were a thing...
Awww I love El yunque I always go there when I visit the island 🌴 miss my country. Much love from Newyork!!! Blessings!!!
El Yunque is a must visit place for the island.
El coqui Borincano V I’m very aware of that however that’s what I always refer to it as.
I lived ten minutes away from el Yunque, brings back memories.
Wow, that would be incredible to live so close!
I was born in NYC and raised in PR
I'm puertorican. I just happen to carry my husbands last name. I've been enjoying your videos they bring back memories. I've been living in the states now for over 25 years.
Why did you leave?
Love el Yunque now the charge two dollars so cheap per car and reservation too can't wait to go Thank you Jen
Yes, it is affordable and organized!
El Yunque is so beautiful!
Totally agree!
Hi Jen, just subscribed we are headed there tomorrow morning, yep got our reservations. Excited to venture into the rainforest to check things out. Thanks again for the video
Yay! Have fun!
Gorgeous place in Puerto Rico, I was there in 2016.
El Yunque is lovely, and finally recovering from Hurricane Maria. I hope you get to come back soon.

Beautiful Puerto Rico usa
Awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
What is so cool about just a few people been able to enjoy our treasures?
There are many, many treasures to see and explore. If there are too many people and cars, then you cannot park or enjoy the park. If I cannot get a reservation on a certain day, then I pick another day to visit.
beautiful .thank jen
Gracias!
Beautiful love this video
Thank you!!
Great Video.......I have been here a year but not been too many places, YET. Thank you!!
There is so much to see and explore of the island. Welcome!

It is a beautiful spot!

Puerto Rico is my home, I have no plans to leave.
Its nice to see that El Yunque is really coming back after Maria, the videos I saw shortly after the hurricane were devastating. Not sure how much of the canopy is back but it certainly looks green and lucious!
Yes it certainly looks great again 👍
The canopy is amazing! The trails are slowly being rebuilt, and the park looks beautiful right now.
Thank you for the information. Have to make a trip to El Yunque one of these days. I love the rainforest. How long was the trail you took? Thanks for sharing and glad that your back
The trail was pretty short, maybe .5 miles each way. La Mina falls/Big Tree are longer trails, but currently closed.
... congratulations on achieving a good blend of low pitch background music,( that alone usually downgrade other videos of any topic, imo ).
... too bad some of the trails and the Tower are close, back in the days was always open to me. Must be the Pandemic or maybe is a bit unsecure since its been like 30 years.
Thank you very much! They are making great progress rebuilding the visitor center and fixing the trails.
We Are here in Puerto Rico! We haven’t done a single thing because everything is closed:( we have been in San Juan for hours looking for want to do!

El June-kay...
I love it too!! But a friend told me that now is full of snakes!!! Its that true!!!?????
I didn't see any snakes or indications of snakes. Certainly nothing about snakes when the visitor center was open.
My Puerto Rican mother always warned us of liver flukes in the water. Maybe there are no livestock near the El Yunque waters. I’ve always been afraid to contract liver flukes.....
Most infections are from eating undercooked food, at least that is my understanding. I definitely would not drink the water.
Mary Merrill what are liver flukes?
Do you recommend paying an excursion with a guide to visit El Yunque?
No, it is much easier and better to go on your own. Get the reservation online and bring plenty of water, wear good hiking shoes or treaded water shoes.

@jen, does it cost to go hiking there and visit the waterfall? I'm heading there for my 40th in January and wanted to visit the rainforest.
Wow 🤩 Amazing!!!!
Thank you! 😁
I hope one day you will get government approval to return to the rain forest.
REal question. Can wheeled small carriages get to the falls? Like wheelchairs and such?
There are limited areas that are wheelchair and stroller accessible in the rainforest. Only la Coca Falls is wheelchair/stroller accessible as it is visible right off the main road.
Hi! Do you have any recommendations on attire?
Thank you Jen .. I am moving to carolina on 9/1 , how long have you lived there?
I moved to Puerto Rico 4.5 years ago. I absolutely LOVE it! Best wishes for your move.
My mom lives in Carolina. I love isla verde but it’s pricey there. I would also consider the mountains in Carolina or next town over in canovanas or even rio grande which is where el yunque is. Where are u moving to?
Which trail did you take for this view?
Juan Diego trailhead, as shown at the beginning of the video.
How long did it take you to get through the trail?
IT is an easy hike, less than 10 minutes to walk from the trailhead. More details here - jentheredonethat.com/juan-diego-creek-el-yunque-rainforest/

The real danger is making it through the airport .

The reservation system is in response to the global pandemic, but it is an improvement on the overcrowded areas and full parking lots.
