The Caribbean National Forest —commonly known as El Yunque (or The Anvil in English)— is the only tropical forest in the United State National Forest System. The forest resides on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo in Puerto Rico, and covers lands of the municipalities of Canovanas, Juncos, Las Piedras, Luquillo, and Rio Grande.
