It was very convenient to my hotel-La Cantera Jungle Lodge-and only 20 pesos to get in. I was met by a guide who explained everything to me and then left me to explore on my own. It was very interesting and I enjoyed my visit. More

A great place to learn a bit about the local customs and their building practices. Enjoyed touring the location and they had great hand crafted products available on site. More

This small museum is well presented. A member of staff gives the history as you go in. There are some interesting ethnic products for sale. The ice-cream is delicious. More

It gives you an insight into the loss of the natural forest and you get to see some amazing furniture made from the local wood. It's a family run set up with lots of shops to buy local crafts. It was okay. I don't regret going. But I would not put on my hit list for a friend going to... More

The installation was nice. The entance fee includes a guide which we had to wait for 15-20 minutes. After all he walked with us some 30 meters and explained about one old tree. After that he went on his way. The set up is one big souvenire shop, so if you are into that this is your place. More

Aripuca is the name of a small animals trap, used hundreds of years ago by the Guaranies, the first nation of the region. A local family made a giant copy of this trap with big trees recovered from the jungle. Nice place to visit. More

We visited this place on Chistamas day, as Guira Oga was closed. It was simply interesting, that's all. More

This is a complete waste of time! Upon arrival we had to wait for one barely enlish speaking person to give us our "guided tour" from the gate. He did not move 15 meters. Told us what their is to see and pointed out the Redwood trees and that it should not be confused with the Californian Redwoods, showed us... More

We feel like we wasted 2 hours of our life here. I was all very weird and confusing. We paid for our tickets which we thought included a tour. We were met by a guy who spoke poor English, he told us this tree was thousand of years old, and then he said "enjoy!" We looked at each other and... More
