Rio Grande
This modest town on Puerto Rico's northeastern coast, Río Grande sits at the edge of El Yunque National Forest — with the forest's peak falling within the municipality itself. The Atlantic coastline lies to the north while the mountains of El Yunque rise to the south, making the town a base for both beach and rainforest access within the wider San Juan metropolitan area.
