Is there any gold left in the rivers of the El Yunque National Forest?
Yes, but dont expect to become wealthy by searching for it; estimates vary, but at most you could expect to collect no more than US$2.00 worth for a full days hard work! In the early days gold was removed from the sands of rivers such as the Rio Mameyes which parallels PR 191 on the way to the El Yunque National Forest, but the source of the gold was never discovered and the work was eventually discontinued.
