Fodor's Expert Review Parque Arví

To the east of the city, reached by the Metrocable, lie some 4,200 acres of protected forest and parklands with attractions spread throughout. The 20-minute ride in the gondola alone is worth the trip (4,600 pesos), but for outdoors lovers there are a wealth of activities, including hikes, a visit to the butterfly sanctuary, a canopy zipline, and horseback riding. Guided walks leave every hour between 10 am and 3 pm from the principal tourist information point and can range anywhere between two and five hours, depending which trails you take. There are also several restaurants and food stalls in the park.
