La Mina Trail in El Yunque is one of the most popular hikes in the rain forest along with Big Tree Trail. The reason; they both take you to the beautiful 35 foot waterfall at La Mina Falls where the water flows over huge rocks into a pool, where you can enjoy a cool (make that COLD) refreshing swim. From the trail head located at the Palo Colorado Ranger Station at KM 12.2 on Road 191, La Mina Trail is approximately 0.7 miles in length with a drop in elevation from 2100ft to 1640ft and should take you an average of 40 minutes (one way). The trail is rated ‘challenging’ in difficulty by the US Forest Services, with a narrow path and a series of steps along the trail. Make sure you are wearing comfortable footwear suitable for trail walking (trainers, sneakers, walking sandals) and be careful along the way as the path can be slippery when wet. When you arrive at the Palo Colorado Ranger Station, it’s a good idea to talk with one of the park rangers about the current trail conditions before you head out on your hike, especially if there has been some recent heavy rain fall.
