Description
Los Picachos Trail is a short but strenuous 0.2-mile spur off the El Yunque Trail that climbs an extremely steep stone staircase to a masonry platform at 3,175 feet in the Elfin Woodland Cloud Forest. From the summit, hikers are rewarded with a 360-degree panoramic viewpoint with particularly impressive vistas toward the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. Despite the brief distance, the steep stone steps demand significant effort. Access is exclusively via the El Yunque Trail.
