New plans
Thanks again for your suggestions.
After being notified that we'll need a car for our tour on Monday, I've decided to rent a car for 3 days....so we can do the Guavate/Lechonara stuff on Sunday...(am assuming they're open on Easter Sunday) then doing our mini boat tour in Fajardo Monday morning and then do El Yunque after that....(tour ends at 1230pm then we can grab lunch and head over to El Yunque which is about 30 minutes from there apparently)
I think this is much more doable...hopefully....
Update:
We survived our trip and had an overall great time in PR!
Drive to Guavate was uneventful. Easter Sunday at the area where the lechonera's had a good number of people. Loud music playing, people dancing, some playing that mechanical horse roulette gambling thing.
Pork was nice and tender Skin was nice and crispy...just wish they had a sauce to go with it like in the Filipino version. El Monte was closed that day but we went to the one across the street from it.
Overall good atmosphere...glad we were able to try it out.
Drive the next day to Fajardo was ok. Arrived right on time for our tour. Did the snorkeling/beach island hop excursion. We were back in Fajardo by 1230pm. Went to eat at a place by the entrance to the El Yunque forest. Food was decent but service was very disorganized. felt like the whole place was run by high school aged kids who were volunteering.
Forest was great. Got to see the La Coca Falls, Yohaku tower, and made the hike to the waterfalls where I took a dip and took pictures.
A very tiring day but overall very happy we were able to explore outside of San Juan for a change.
