The experience

How much of the park can you actually see in the time you have? That's the question your guide answers before the walk starts. The route is fixed (the museum, Mesitas A, B, C and D, the Forest of the Statues, Lavapatas Fountain and Alto del Lavapatas), but your guide adjusts the pace and depth of explanation based on what draws you in. If the pre-Columbian statuary holds your attention, you linger. If the tomb architecture interests you more, the guide shifts focus there. The walk spans roughly three kilometers with some moderate climbs, including elevation changes up to 70 meters, but the guide can shorten or adjust the path depending on your fitness and time.

Private transportation picks you up and brings you back, so you don't navigate to the park entrance on your own. The guide meets you speaking English, Spanish, Italian, French or Portuguese: your choice at checkout. The tour runs anywhere from two to four hours depending on how much ground you cover and how long you spend at each site. You're not moving through with a group on a set schedule. The guide is working for your pace and your questions.
