🟪 Watch the Full El Yunque Series • Mt. Britton Tower - Hi...
I tied to leave in as much of the natural jungle sounds in this episode so you. our dear viewers, can experience it. We had so much footage from our time in El Yunque that we have split the video into several parts. Even then we were not able to see everything El Yunque has to offer in the time we were there.
Filmed during strict travel restrictions.

Thank you for this. Being from Puerto Rico I’ve made this hike 20 times but haven’t lived in the island for almost a decade so this video warms my heart. I hope you have many more great adventures!

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Thanks for your kind words. 😊 we are so happy you enjoyed the video!

[@JARB.PR.]

If you like that view, next time go all the way to the peak, trust me you will love the 360 view from the top 3,400+ feet from the sea level. Thank you for visit the island 🏝🇵🇷

[@TheWanderingHartz]

We will definitely do that on our next time in PR!

[@KC.45]

4:22 Yep, that's my grandfather's place.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

We will have to stop in and get some food next time we are in El Yunque!

[@EddieMachin]

Try going to the peak next time and to La Roca, which is next to the Yunque peak. The views are incredible. It’s such a magical place.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@Miria_lima]

Great video! Which camera did you use most while hiking El Yunque? Did it rain when you were there, and how did you protect your camera if you used the Sony? I own a Canon R6, and I am not sure if it would be a good idea to take it.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Thanks! I used the Sony A7III with Tamron Lenses and a DJI Osmo action camera. The sony and tamron lenses are weather sealed and can handle mist and some rain drops. I would tuck my camera under my shirt or get to shelter when it rained. JUst wipe the water off asap.
You can also use a gallon sized ziplock bag for the camera body and cut a lens hole too or buy a professional waterproof cover.
Have a great trip! We loved hiking around there. We have another El Yunque hiking video shot with almost entirely the sony A7III th-cam.com/video/UVWACSvIb7Q/w-d-xo.html

[@Miria_lima]

Thanks a lot for replying!!! I will check it out!

[@vanecf7923]

Wow hice esta caminata ayer con mi hijo hacia mucho tiempo no visitaba el Yunque pero ahora esos gacebos tienen buenos zinc los arreglaron porque en el video se puede ver que no estaban bien por lo menos ayer estaba soleado y se nos hizo mas facil aunque cansados pero disfrute y valio la pena llegar a la cima muy bonito todo desde alla arriba

[@TheWanderingHartz]

¡Nos alegra mucho que lo hayas disfrutado! ¡Me alegra saber que los refugios se están arreglando! ¡Es una caminata divertida! Gracias por ver.

[@DeniceCarlaGordon-kd1kg]

What state are you from guys ?

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Tennessee

[@rosio2403]

What’s this hike called?

[@TheWanderingHartz]

It is the Mt. Britton Trail! ☺

[@Nomad1025]

I take it you’ve never heard of Washington State, and the Hoh National Rain Forest there?

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Good catch! 👍 I missed that when i edited this video a year and a half ago.
She meant to say "Tropical" like is stated in the description of the video.
I grew up in Washington state and have been to the Hoh rainforest a few times.
