El Yunque Rainforest Inn

The Rio Grande, in the United States, or the Río Bravo, in Mexico, also known as Tó Ba'áadi in Navajo, is one of the principal rivers in the Southwestern United States and in northern Mexico. The length of the Rio Grande is 1,896 miles (3,051 km), making it the fourth longest river in the United States and in North America by main stem. It originates in south-central Colorado, in the United States, and flows to the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande drainage basin (watershed) has an area of 182,200 square miles (472,000 km2); however, the endorheic basins that are adjacent to and within the greater drainage basin of the Rio Grande increase the total drainage-basin area to 336,000 square miles (870,000 km2).

As you explore Rio Grande, you'll be able to soak up the sun on miles of pristine shoreline. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, where you can see colorful coral reefs and exotic marine life. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can try your hand at surfing on some of the island's best waves.

For those who prefer to stay on land, Rio Grande is also home to the El Yunque National Forest. This lush rainforest is filled with hiking trails that wind through waterfalls, streams, and unique flora and fauna. You can even take a dip in the natural pools at the base of the falls.
