Toro Negro State Forest, State forest in central Puerto Rico.
The Toro Negro State Forest spans 7,996 acres across five municipalities, featuring nine rivers and diverse ecosystems at elevations up to 4,389 feet.
The forest lands transformed from coffee plantations in the 1930s when conservation efforts began, leading to the planting of three million seedlings by 1945.
Traditional mountain communities surround the forest, where local residents maintain connections to agriculture and nature through sustainable practices.
Visitors access the forest through the Dona Juana Recreational Area in Orocovis, which provides facilities for camping, hiking, and swimming in natural pools.
The forest contains four distinct forest zones, including the rare Microphilis Buchevania ecosystem and Mountain Range Palm formations found nowhere else in Puerto Rico.
