The park is beautiful. I absolutely enjoyed the Grutas. Definitely a must. There is a small hike. You can definitely spend the whole day here. Bring some food and have a picnic.

Oh my gosh! What a fantastic and cheap day out you can have here! Only $15 pesos pp in a collectivo which drops you right at the entrance and $10 pesos to enter! We chose to do the hike along the river/ stream and it was so much fun! It was actually quite challenging at times (boyfriend fell in the stream slipping off a rock haha!) But we had our packed lunch on a huge rock in the sun surrounded by colourful dragonflies, we saw a snake further up in the grass which was exciting and scary at the same time and we explored the caves - definitely worth the $15 pesos in my opinion! We went on a Saturday and it wasn't even busy! It's so tranquil and worth a day out if you're missing nature! Highly recommend!!

My experience here was completely magical. ????????️
You can take transport to here for $25 pesos, the entrance cost $10 pesos and some activities inside like tirolesa are cheap too likewise the ticket to see the grottoes, wich are really a magestic experience. ????️
You can just walk around and find the mos peaceful place to read your favorite book, to meditate or just enjoy the sound of the water flowing.
I also found very cute mushrooms ????????
You shouldn't doubt to come visit this amazing place in San Cristóbal, i'm sure you would love it! ????????️

Definitely worth a visit from San Christobel if only for a morning. We took the collectivo from the square below the church of Guadalupe (15 pesos) and had a packed lunch. The grotto is really worth paying extra for and there is a lovely meadow by the “lake” to sit and eat in. Didn’t do the zip line but they looked good.

Amazing place to go rock climbing. If you want to climb you need to bring all your own equipment, partner, etc. Wouldn't really recommend it for beginners because the routes, protection, lowering/cleaning logistics can all be a bit complicated but there are several great 5.10 routes and plenty a lot harder.

It was really nice visit, we arrived with a "collectivo" from the market (15 pesos), the entrance was 15 pesos as well the park is big and beautiful, there is option to go inside the cave with additional cost of 20 pesos per person
And there are restaurants and places to buy drinks, and sit in the park
Very nice for a half day trip

Beautiful place, to enter the grote you need to pay 15 peso for the entry which is worth. It's bright and the grote has light in it , the view is stunning. I truly recommend it. I'm not sure about the beginning if you enter the park you may need to pay 10 peso but I'm not sure if it's really a government thing or if a local just makes some extra money , which i believe.
