    Just east of Piñones is the town of Loíza, where you can find authentic coconut vejigante masks, dubbed "Mona Lisas" because of their elongated smiles. Craftsman Raúl Ayala Carrasquillo has been making these pieces for nearly half a century, following in the footsteps of his late father. Collectors prize these wild masks, most with tentaclelike horns. His one-room shop, in a shack that was painted yellow many years ago, is on the road between Loíza and Río Grande.

    At his studio on a short, dusty lane across the street from the Artesanías Castor Ayala, artist Samuel Lind sculpts, paints, and silk-screens images that are quintessentially Loízano. Lind's work is displayed in the two floors of his latticework studio. Of special note are his colorful folk-art posters inspired by everyday Puerto Rican life.

    Not far from the entrance to El Yunque, souvenir shops sell identical T-shirts and rain-forest tchotchkes, and Coquí International is a cut above the rest. A trail with colorful coquís painted on the floor takes you past cubicles featuring local artists' original paintings, handwoven place mats, and one-of-a-kind items of clothing. Interesting jewelry; coconut mobiles shaped like fish, sharks, and insects; handmade soap; and wood carvings cram the space. You'll enjoy exploring this unique boutique where gentle music and incense set shoppers at ease.

    While in El Yunque, buy a recording of the tree frog's song, a video about the endangered green parrot, or a coffee-table book about the rain forest at the large gift shop in El Portal Visitor Center. Tucked among the rain-forest gifts are other Puerto Rican items, including note cards, maps, soaps, jams, and coffee. This is the only gift shop in El Yunque that accepts credit cards.
