Description
The Guánica State Forest & Biosphere Reserve (Bosque Estatal de Guánica, in Spanish) is a great example of a dry forest, as compared to the rain forests found elsewhere on the island. It gets only about 30 inches of rain per year. Compare that to the 200+ inches that fall on El Yunque annually. It is considered the best-preserved, subtropical forest and the best example of dry forest in the Caribbean.
