This small national park is very interesting with very good birding. The self guided trails were in excellent condition and there was very good signage in both Spanish and English. We almost missed this wonderful place because the guide books tend to talk it down, one saying that it isn't Tikal, and if you'd been to such places that you would be disappointed. Well, we have been but we loved this very unique park.

We were truly suprised at the excellent display panels showing the renovations in 2013 that make this easy to imagine what it looked like.The stone roadway leading to the ceremonial mound [and leader's lodging and tomb] was long and well preserved/renovated. Considering these aqueducts and amphitheater date back to A.D. 100 or earlier, this is remarkable. Sure it is not Egypt's Giza, but it is worth the trip!While the trip to the location is a bit long, it is beautiful countryside, so you won't mind the drive.

I enjoyed the trail through the forest where we saw sloths and lots of birds. The clearings where the pre Columbian ruins were well maintained and interesting to see with clear information boards relating to the ruins and their excavation. At the entrance to the park was a picnic sight with some very clean and well kept toilets and washing facilities.

I think the comparisons to Chichen Itza and Macchu Pichu are overdone but it is still a very interesting place to visit.I liked the drive there too !The setting in the jungle was what made it for me. A real sense of history and mystery!

With bi-lingual interpretive signs this archological site was a fascinating visit which revealed a history we previously knew nothing about. The paths throughout the surrounding rain forest were well mantained and the walk itself was worth the visit. The revealed parts of the site are said to date from 1000BC until it was abandoned for unknown reasons in around 1400AD. The viaduct system which captures streams from the slopes of the nearby volcano is amazing. The ancient cobbled roads leading to this site lead straight through the jungle with a solid construction that would give the romans a run for their money - and put the 'modern' Costa Rican roads to shame!The drive over the mountains to Guayabo National monument is a thrilling, mountain top route and there are excellent restaurants along the way.

Still rather undeveloped but the areas that have been excavated and exposed reveal a civilization that parallels Machu Pechu.

We visited this monument with a guide, it would have been difficult to get the best out of this attraction without one. The forest surrounding the monument is an excellent area for birding. The ruins of the pre-columbian city are impressive. The monument is well worth a visit

Excellent English and Spanish interpretative signs. Unique in this country for archeology. A very nice picnic area with clean restrooms and even grills for cooking. A small interpretative center was under construction.

The site is little visited by foreign tourists. The morning we went tree were only Costa Ricans there. The guides are all good but we used a private guide who took more time, so we spent all morning investigating the history, architecture and engineering of the site as well as flora and fauna.

A fascinating tour back in the history of Central America. The wildlife was an added bonus! Canyoning in Turrialba was an adventure to behold. XXXXXXX
