El Toro Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico.
El Toro Wilderness extends across 10,254 acres of dense tropical forest, reaching its highest point at El Toro Peak at 3,524 feet above sea level.
The Caribbean National Forest Act of 2005 established El Toro Wilderness on December 1, making it the first designated wilderness area in Puerto Rico.
The forest contains archaeological evidence of Taino settlements, including ancient petroglyphs that reflect the island's indigenous heritage and history.
Visitors can access the wilderness through the El Toro Trail from Road 186 at kilometer 10.8, with a three-hour hike leading to the summit.
The forest houses 240 native tree species, 50 orchid varieties, and provides habitat for the endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and Elfin Woods Warbler.
