It was time to drive west to east to catch a ferry to Veiques Island.  We choose to drive through the mountains and see a coffee plantation.  We stopped at Tres Angles Plantation and had lunch and a cup of coffee.  The tours were over for the day but the area and the coffee bean trees were beautiful.

Spent a night in Ceiba to get up early the next morning an hike in El Yunque, the Puerto Rico rainforest.  If you every get the change to go, a tip: Go early.  Park opens at 7:30 and the visitors center at 9.  We arrived a bit before nine and had the opportunity to see La Coca falls before the crowds arrived.

We took a walk around the visitor’s center and then off to the La Mina Falls Hike.

A little over a mile both down and up to the base of the falls. When we arrived one other couple was just leaving and we had the falls to ourselves for a moment.

We swapped picture taking with the next couple to arrive.

and then literately, 5 minutes later, all heck broke loose.

Along the hike were some beautiful colors
