Nature
El Toro is a 3,526-foot mountain in eastern Puerto Rico, the highest peak in the Sierra de Luquillo and part of El Yunque National Forest. Its summit rises from a massif that is the source of important regional rivers, including the Cubuy and Gurabo, and it lies within the barrios of El Río, Las Piedras, and Guzmán Arriba in Río Grande. Though in one of the forest’s most remote areas, it can be reached by trail from Cubuy in Canóvanas. The surrounding El Toro Wilderness, first protected in the 1930s and officially designated in 2005, is the only tropical wilderness in the U.S. National Forest System.
