Los Tres Picachos State Forest, Protected state forest in central Puerto Rico.
Los Tres Picachos State Forest spans multiple altitudinal zones with three mountain peaks reaching 3,176 feet above sea level in the Central Mountain Range.
The forest received its official designation on February 16, 1999, following collaborative efforts between local residents, municipal administrations of Ciales and Jayuya, and environmental groups.
The forest encompasses the Arecibo and Manatí river basins, which flow northward to the Atlantic Ocean, supporting local communities and traditional agricultural practices.
While the forest offers hiking opportunities to two of its three peaks, visitors should note the limited facilities, with no designated parking or restroom services available.
The forest contains three distinct ecological zones: subtropical broadleaf forest, montane cloud forest, and tropical humid forest, supporting species like the Puerto Rican Sharp-shinned hawk.
