Bosque de Pterocarpus Pterocarpus Forest Palmas del Mar

This forest walk is a gem in Palmas del Mar. Car parking is slightly hidden behind the big church and next to the property administration buildings, but the signs are easy to follow. The trail starts as a concrete path and continues into the forest swamp area on a raised boardwalk. The boardwalk is extensive, maybe 3/4 of a mile long, and has informative signs about the animals and ecosystem along the way. We went in the early afternoon and saw iguanas, lots of lizards, turtles, and several birds including a beautiful large white crane. Importantly there are no mosquitoes, which is a feature of this type of forest. The trail is totally shaded by the forest and has a few rest areas. This is a great short excursion out of the sun for a family and would be stroller friendly.

Great place to go if you enjoy hiking through nature. You get to check out the many variety of animal and plant life that resides in this forest/swap.

A free 51-acre swamp forest in Palmas del Mar, Humacao, Puerto Rico. Its a nature walk through the Pterocaprus Forest (or El Bosque de Pterocarpus) through a wooded boardwalk. There are bilingual educational signs about the flora and fauna of the area all along the walkway. Its worth the visit.

Excelence for a family picnic and curiosity nature pictures. Wilma Hernández and Airbanas Studios

Beautiful place for a relaxing walk. Very educational for kids.

Nice for a walk. Be sure to apply repellent. Lots of vegetation, spiders and spider webs.

Overall service is good. A bit high on rental fee.

A surprise escape amongst the boats in the Marina and Golfing. Bird watching and nature experience in style. Platform walkways laid out over the marsh and ground so you never have a wrong step. Did I mention the huge iguanas & observation deck 3 stories tall.

Beautiful and relax place. Love nature.

A nice place to meet with mother nature. In around 30 minutes you can walk and see the entire place.

Amazing scenery. Just a beautiful walk through a lush green garden.

Neat little 15 minute trail, definitely worth doing once

It is a little forest reserve managed by the local community and administration ot the Palmas de Mar estate. It is a beautiful site. Although the huricane Maria affected it, you can believe how fast it has recovered. Great.

Excelent place to explore nature and relax

Nice place. They have a good path to walk through and a nice high tree house

Very peaceful and quiet. Not much animals but its ok

This is an AMAZING place!!! Just right for an afternoon walk. Got to see many things that are rare and unusual. The interruptive signs are frequent and informative, yet short enough to read quickly and move on.

An oasis of cool trails under the Pterocarpus trees. To get to it you must enter through the Palmas del Mar complex gate. Tell the guard you are looking for the Pterocarpus Forest and they will give you the directons to it. There is parking at the head of the trail. The trail is very short, but there are benches to ait and meditate. This is a passive recreation area. No food is allowed. There is a viewing tower and a gazebo with information about the flora and fauna of the site. Do not follow Google directions to it. It is best to enter the Palmas del Mar resort to get there.

Beautiful place

Great nature walk. Does have restroom facilities. Dont go there unless you have something else to do in the area. The forest is located inside the Palmas del Mar resort.

Like to walk with someone you love very much

An exotic surprize! We loved the pair of iguanas. Muchas gracias Las Palmas!

Check out the tree house loved it.
