The Peak. Though the woods were nice, this is really a hike to El Toro peak â the highest point in the El Yunque National Forest. We had great views from the peak â mostly of the back of El Yunque, the north and east coasts, and the towns in the NE part of Puerto Rico ( Ceiba, Naguabo, Juncos, Las Piedras, &Humacao).
