Puerto Rico officials find 7 tourists lost in popular forest
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rescue crews in Puerto Rico say they have found seven tourists who got lost in a popular tropical forest on the island's northeastern corner. It is the second such rescue at El Yunque in less than a week.
Police say the tourists called 911 on Monday and were rescued several hours later. Their nationalities have not been released.
Two other tourists were lost last week for almost a day until authorities found them in El Yunque, which is the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest system and attracts thousands of visitors every year.
