South of Jayuya and north of Ponce is Toro Negro Forest Reserve, which also goes from the southeast town of Yabucoa all the way to Mayagüez on the west coast. This 7,000-acre (2,800-hectare) park, ideal for hikers, straddles the highest peak of the Cordillera Central in the very heart of Puerto Rico. A forest of lush trees, the reserve also contains the headwaters of several main rivers.
