The El Toro Trail starts at km 10.8 on Road 186 on the west side of El Yunque National Forest and climbs 3.8 km through the El Toro Wilderness to El Toro, at 1,074 m the highest peak of the Luquillo Mountains.

There are no facilities and little phone signal, and the connector to the Trade Winds Trail is currently closed.
