If you want to see ruins this is a great, short stop with a lot of history. It didn't cost very much and was a nice walk through the jungle. They have a lot of signage telling you what you are seeing. The drive up the mountain was a lot of fun. The views are incredible.

Reviewed By SueF386 - Stroud, United Kingdom

we were taken on a guided tour of CATIE to look at the plants and trees as well as the bird life. It was a fascinating tour giving an insight into Costa Rican agriculture and plant life. The uses of certain fruits and trees were explained in detail - it felt that we could learn from the Costa Ricans to use natural remedies for a wide range of ailments. We saw a variety of birds and thoroughly enjoyed our visit
