A serene hilltop overlooking the Tainos' sacred land... Most of all, Yuquiyu is about tranquility. You can watch clouds swirl around rainforest peaks, walk in the woods, meditate by the river and contemplate the starry night. Birds of paradise, royal palms and giant tree ferns provide beauty and shade from a brilliant sun, while blossoms of ylang-ylang perfume the air. Gentle trade winds, the haunting calls of the Puerto Rican Screech-Owl and singing tree frogs create a peaceful and enlivening ambiance. A chance to rediscover yourself... Yuquiyu is within an area of northeastern Puerto Rico the Sierra Club believes should be "a prime destination for ecotourism". The resort is only ten minutes from the heart of El Yunque rainforest and fifteen minutes from famed Luquillo Beach. With a guide or on your own, discover the rainforest, multi-hued beaches, coral reefs, a bioluminescent lagoon, ancient petroglyphs and a Spanish colonial city. In doing so, you'll have a chance to rediscover yourself.
