Angelito Falls

This is our second trip to El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico this year, but this time we actually get a chance for a little hike.

It does not look like a particularly strenuous hike, so even in sandals it's not going to be too difficult.


We don't have a paper map, so it's always a good idea to snap a photo in case it's needed.

This was a really neat bridge overlooking a feeder brook.



In no time at all we're down to the river.  There are lots of rocks to hop over to get closer to the water, and thankfully, there is quite a bit of water flowing.


Everybody's working their way out a little bit.  I have sport sandals so I don't mind if my feet get wet.

Upstream is where all the action is.  If you look carefully you can see swimmers up in a pool near the falls.

There's lots of sunshine and Betsy finds a plant to act as a natural sun shade.

I only turned the tracker on one way, but the stats for that were:  0.42 miles elevation gain 95' in a little under 12 minutes.  Piece of cake!  Now off to the next adventure.
