Barrio Jiménez Map
Once you’ve turned left at the “El Yunque National Forest” sign. You will be going downhill and cross a low, concrete bridge over the Espíritu Santo river. From the bridge, continue uphill for about two blocks, where you see on the right-hand side of the road a Km 1.2 marker and, on the left, a small sign that says “La Pirámide”. Turn left onto La Pirámide, go right and then go right again. Before long, you will come to a sharp turn and begin to climb the hill on which Yuquiyú is located. Once you reach the top, you will see a green gate and the Yuquiyú sign. Park in the flat, grassy area immediately beyond the sign. Our office is located down the gravel driveway located between the green gate and the sign. The office is the first structure you will encounter and is identified as “El Mirador”. To save a trip back uphill, you may wish to bring your baggage down with you.
