The engine rumbles, the trail narrows and the rainforest seems to lean in — moss-draped branches brushing the roll cage as ocean breezes slip through the canopy. On a two-person UTV you cut a direct line from coastal scrub toward the upland slopes that feed El Yunque, Puerto Rico’s only tropical rainforest. The route alternates open ridgelines with shaded, root-strewn tracks; occasional clearings give you ocean views that dare you to stop and take them in.
