There is also the National Park of American Samoa, which contains rain
forest.

IOW, don't believe all the hype you hear from the cruise lines. El Junque is
not the only rain forest in the National Park system. Nor is it the only
tropical rain forest. It may be a very nice rain forest for all that, but
claiming that El Junque is the only one is a little like Brazil claiming
that the Wright Brothers did not really fly and therefore Santos-Dumont was
first.
