This was a nice trip but before the cable car it seemed like they were trying to fill in time. The view was fantastic from the cable car and when you get to the top there are some nice guy who will take your picture with Jesus in your hands or Jesus on your shoulder. Depends on what direction they... More

Make sure its a nice day because it is very pretty. But venders inside are very pushy. We took the cable car up which was very neat. The botanical garden is pretty too.

This was ok. You go very high up on a cable car into the mountains to the national park in puerta plata. It is foggy a lot when you look down. I'm glad I did it but it was just ok.

A cable car ride to the top of a mountain with amazing views of the island. We experienced very clear blue skies then the clouds rolled in afterward...making it feel like we were lost in the sky. But it was amazing to see.

The cable car ride was the highlight. They talked about the beautiful views from the top, but you get the good stuff on the way up. The other side was all power lines, microwave and cell phone towers. Very pretty flowers on the grounds.

VERY steep ride up to the top. The botanical garden was just ok, but it was cool being in the clouds. I'm pretty sure the cafeteria was closed, and "tour guides" forced tours on us basically. That wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

Went up the mountain via the cable car, as part of a day excursion booked through our resort. Go early in the morning to get the best views, as the misty clouds roll in quickly, before noon. The cable car ride can be intimidating, it's a steep climb, but our guide assured us that it is safe. The views are... More
