El Yunque National Forest
This forest is commonly known as "El Yunque", which may be attributed to either a Spanish approximation of the aboriginal Taíno word "yu-ke" which means "white lands", or the word "anvil," which is "yunque" in Spanish. The second-tallest mountain within El Yunque is also named El Yunque.
