Fascinated!

I was awed by the Mural and the surrounding hills, and valley of Salvador. The greeneries and the rustic simplicity of Nature is so idyllic. I could have stayed longer and strolled, walked in the area. Be back...

Not really amazing

You don’t have to enter and pay to see the wall. We saw it from the road and was just as fine. I prefer the view over the valley any time!

Interesting !!

I thought at first that this was going to be a mural dating back to prehistoric time . Wrong ! But still worth seeing .a relaxing spot and the mural is actually quite incredible if only for the size of it .

Interesting to learn the history of

Instead of driving right up to the wall and paying an enterance fee, there is a little concrete hump closer to the campsite that you can stand on and see the wall. Great view of it for free. It was even more impressive to learn...More

Say what??

This is easily the most idiotic 'attraction' I've ever seen anywhere in the world. Childlike painting on a cliff face. Nothing else to see or do. If it wasn't for the delightful man at the small bar where all the currency notes are stuck on...More

Pretty boring!

There is not much to do here , except for the mural to get a couple of good pictures and have a cold beer at the small cafeteria. May be good for hikers , but the mural needs restoration and colors. Even from the street...More

Fascinating mural depicting life on earth from the dinosaurs to man

We stopped at this mural as part of an all day excursion around the Vinales valley. The mural itself has proven controversial with the locals, some like it and others want it removing...so it's good to see it just in case it gets lost. The...More
