Our first stop was Coco Falls, which is a really beautiful natural waterfall that falls over some really interesting rock formations. Unfortunately, there is a pretty serious drought happening on Puerto Rico, so the normally roaring Coco Falls was just barely a trickle of water down the rock face. You'll see in a picture.
After climbing around at the Falls, we decided to take a trip up a long and winding trail up to Briton Tower and the local high-altitude cloud forest. Once we reached Briton Tower, we were greeted by an amazing view of the forest and scenes below.
After the tower we hiked for just a bit in the cloud forest, where the high altitude causes the trees and shrubs to be stunted and small and for a large part of the local fauna to be noticeably absent. It was a strange, but worthwhile experience, if you ever get the chance.
