los arboles cuadrados (the square trees)印象

Really, why pay $3 to see 3 small trees with square-ish trunks? It's a long, not particularly pretty, walk. Unless, you have a particular interest in rare trees I do not see the point. You can walk all over El Valle de Anton--for free!--and see much better views.

Entry to this venue is via the hotel where you pay your $4 fee. The walk is to the left as you leave the hotel through gate and down to a bridge over the small river. The trail itself is clear to follow and largely an easy surface but you do need some decent footwear on. The path leads uphill by the stream through some forested area and you the occasional wider view of the valley. Compared to much of the forests of the region this bit is nothing special. The "square" trees numbering about 4 are scattered about a small platform after crossing the stream again. They area strange shape but again are not so spectacular as the venue implies. The route then takes you back down to the hotel. Frankly this country has miles of fantastic forest; you can see all sorts of botany and wildlife on a much bigger scale and variety by going elsewhere - all you do here is pay the hotel for a short walk and see a few slightly off-shape trees.They are also still advertising having golden frogs at the hotel - they no longer have any. Our guide was not pleased at this venue either. I would not go back and to be honest do not recommend it.

I'd never have believed it if I hadn't seen them for myself but they really are square. Apparently seedlings grown only a few meters from this place grow normally so this is meant to be the only place in the world where square trees grow. it is a lovely walk to get to them and it's not a difficult hike

While the destination was extremely disappointing...very few square trees, mossy, dirty benches....the walk there was delightful. However, when we did it the second time, we found out the walk we took was the way out from the trees, not the way in. I would do it again, but it is more like taking a walk in the Forrest than going to see so etching incredible.

The trees are not that square as you might expected, but nevertheless it's a nice walk. Our little boy of 1,5 years old walked one third of the trail himself, so it's not a tough hike.

Saw the square trees 20 years ago and they were amazing. In 2014, a disappointment! Talked my travel group into making this hour side trip to walk down a difficult jungle path to see maybe 6 square trees....all others had been chopped down! The ones left have signs pointing to them saying, "square tree"! A total waste of time and money! Instead, check out an online article and picture. On the other hand, the hotel/restaurant site hasn't changed at all! The golden frogs also are gone due to a fungus. Thankfully, the few remaining frogs are being studied to see if they can be repopulated and a treatment found for the fungus.

It is very difficult to find the trail, going to these trees. In the end, there are just a few trees in the jungle... We enjoyed the way leading us there with a lot of butterflies and other small animals.

The square trees are mostly in ones imagination as they become round as they grow taller. Luckily there was a sign on one of the two we saw as I wouldn't have known it otherwise. Take free hikes at other places.

This had been on my list for the two previous visits. As a woodworker I was curious. The hike along a burbling stream was accented with birding. We caught a herd of Toucans in flight! That was really great.The 'Hotel Dog Guide' who chose to join us on the hike left us in the dust. I guess he was not as interested in the birds as we were.

The trail is nothing from another world or amazing. But it is a nice walk through the jungle. The trees are not as you would think "square", but it is a nice walk for sure
