La Coca Falls, El Yunque National Rainforest - Puerto Rico
— La Coca Falls — If there's one place in Puerto Rico that's truly a natural paradise, El Yunque National Rainforest, in Río Grande, Puerto Rico is it! Just 20 miles to the east of the San Juan Metroplex, this is the only subtropical rainforest in the U.S. Park System. Here you will find endangered bird species, beautiful waterfalls, a variety of flowers, lush vegetation, stunning vistas and winding hiking trails; all in a cool, mountainous setting that's simply breathtaking by any standard. Your Puerto Rico vacation would not be complete without visiting El Yunque National Rainforest.
El Yunque is located in the Sierra de Luquillo on the northeastern quadrant of Puerto Rico. El Yunque has been a protected forest since the 19th century when King Alfonso 12th of Spain declared it reserva de la corona, an area reserved for the Spanish Crown. Today it is the only forest in Puerto Rico managed by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
The forest covers an area of approximately 114 square kilometers, which makes it the perfect place to get lost. So it's in your best interest not to stray away from the designated hiking paths.
Once you pass the El Portal Tourist Information Center you will enter the forest through a one lane road. A few minutes up the road you will find La Coca Falls on your right hand side. This waterfall is not very large when compared with others around the world. In fact, it doesn't have as much water either. But what it does have is a beautiful 85-foot high granite face that's unlike any other in the world.
Tourists love to climb the base of La Coca Falls and take pictures of their loved ones. It's also a great place to relax and take in the cool mountain air of El Yunque National Rainforest.

El Portal del Yunque part 2
The Forest is made up to four very distinctive types of the Tabonuco,Sierra Palm, Palo Colorado, and Cloud Forests.The Tabonuco Forest type which cover14,106 acres in found from Subtropical Moist, Wet and Rain Forest Life Zones at altitudes of 150m to about 700m above sea level .At lower elevations, this forest is home to large straight trees with enormous crowns which emerge above and form a completely dark canopy.The Yagrumo hembra , or weathervane tree and the Yagrumo macho,or matchwood are also quite abundant. Their leaves move to the rhythm of the breeze showing their silver and gold colors.The Sierra Palm, or Palma de Sierra Forest is associated with all zones occurring in the Forest. Found chiefly on steep slopes and stream beds above 1,500 feet above sea level, it commonly forms almost pure strands of Sierra Palms.Since 1946 El Yunque has been a Commonweath Wildlife Refuge .
There are120 vertebrate species which include bats,lizards and birds. Also ,15 species of amphibians inhabit the forest,
In the cool streams,small fish,shrimp and crabs are found. Small lizards are common everywhere, while the Puerto Rican Giant Green Lizard, which can grow up to 16 inches in length , is found mostly in the limestone hills.Bats are the only native species of mammals found in the forest,though the introduced mongoose and rat are also residents. Various land snails thrive in the heavy rainfall of El Yunque . Spiders, centipedes,butterflies and a variety of insects add to the diversity of the fauna.
There are 16 species of tree frogs in Puerto Rico but only two produce the special co-kee sound which has become a symbol of all tree frogs in the Island. Some call to defend their territory, others are made by mating male to discourage other males from attracting females .The Coqui does not go through a tadpole stage. The female lays 28 eggs and at the end of the incubation, tiny froglets, replicas of the adults, emerge.Coquis living in the coastal lowlands are tree-dwellers: those living in the highlands live mostly on the ground
The Puerto Rican Boa (Epicrates inomatus) is among the snakes that inhabit the forest, although it is seldom seen. A non-poisonous snake, it is hunted for its oil used as folk remedy. It is the largest native species of snake, growing to over 6 feet in length. There is ongoing research to decide whether the Boa should be considered endangered or not at this time. Everything in the forest is protected

VISTA AL BOSQUE NACIONAL EL YUNQUE
El Bosque Nacional El Yunque es un bosque tropical del noreste de Puerto Rico. Desde el Centro para Visitantes El Portal, un sendero serpentea a través del follaje circundante. Los senderos ascienden a la cascada La Mina y al monte Britton, y al bosque enano a gran altura. En el sur hay petroglifos antiguos que corresponden al pueblo indígena Taíno del área. El bosque cobra vida con las llamadas nocturnas de las ranas coquíes sobre los árboles.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
El Yunque National Forest, formerly known as the Caribbean National Forest, is a forest located in northeastern Puerto Rico. It is the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System and the United States Forest ServiceThis forest is commonly known as El Yunque, which may be attributed to either a Spanish approximation of the aboriginal Taíno word yu-ke which means white lands, or the word anvil, which is yunque in Spanish. The second-tallest mountain within El Yunque is also named El Yunque.
El Yunque National Rainforest is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo mountains, encompassing 28,000 acres (43.753 mi2 or 113.32 km2) of land, making it the largest block of public land in Puerto Rico.
The highest mountain peak in the forest rises 3,494 feet (1,065 m) above sea level. Ample rainfall (over 20 feet a year in some areas) creates a jungle-like setting — lush foliage, crags, waterfalls, and rivers are a prevalent sight. The forest has a number of trails from which the jungle-like territory's flora and fauna can be appreciated. El Yunque is also renowned for its unique Taíno petroglyphs. Indigenous people believed that El Yunque was the throne of their chief god Yúcahu, so that it is the Caribbean equivalent to Mount Olympus.
El Yunque National Rainforest is currently partially closed until further notice due to Hurricane Maria.
