I walked this trail on 11/26/2009. The trail can be challenging because of the mud. In addition, there is a lot of wildlife on this trail so be careful of snails and stay alert to catch the birds in the canopy... It took me around 3 hours to hike on my own. I would greatly recommend long pants and a hiking pole, I did not have either of these amenities but missed them. The trail is not very well maintained in the section between the second and third rivers. There are a lot of fallen trees that havent been cleared so you actually have to leave the trail for a bit. There is also a part where you have to climb in a mud wall with a few more fallen trees on your right. In addition, whenever you run into a river section, except for the final section, YOU CROSS IT. I made the mistake of looking around on the one bank rather than crossing and lost a lot of time. Also, climbing on the rocks with boots on is DANGEROUS!!! if you are going to go swimming just go for it and be wary of how slippery things can get if they dont have any light on them! All in all, I had a great time, definitely challenging and worth it. I even got to see some jungle crayfish! Thanks again Gwenn, you were my personal tour guide through el yunque!
