Río Sabana Trail

Río Sabana Trail is a challenging 2.9-mile wilderness route that forms a key north-south corridor through El Yunque National Forest in the Naguabo sector, climbing 1,168 feet in elevation. Originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and rehabilitated in 2011, the trail traverses natural ground surfaces through remote backcountry. Between El Toro Peak and the Tradewinds/Río Sabana junction, vegetation and landslides may require route-finding skills. Cell phone coverage is minimal; thorough preparation is essential.
