Angelito Trail is one of the most popular trails in El Yunque National Forest towards Puerto Rico's east end. Only 45 minutes away from San Juan, the trail is well-trafficked with tourists and locals alike as it's open year-round, relatively easy, and leads to an incredible natural pool, Las Damas, along the Rio Mameyes.

This trail doesn't require a permit for entry, unlike other areas within El Yunque National Forest. In fact, that's the exact reason we came here - because we missed out on getting a permit for the La Mina Recreation Area of El Yunque National Forest (this may change post-pandemic).

But it honestly felt like it didn't matter by the day's end. Hiking the Angelito Trail, swimming in the Las Damas Pool, and climbing the rocks of the Rio Mameyes were more than enough to keep our entire family happy!
