We visited the very cool Valle de la Prehistoria Park the other day, with some friends from nearby Baconao and it was a wonderful experience. We were amazed by the size of the park, as well as the size of the model dinosaur replicas that are scattered throughout. To top the day off, we had dinner with our friends at the on site restaurant, which provided a most amazing traditional Cuban meal that left us very full and extremely satisfied. Please note that we did not eat at the "tourist" cafeteria but instead went through the building to the back patio where the locals eat. Six people ate dinner for $15 pesos (cervezas included)!
Estando en Santiago se puede ir en poco tiempo a la vez que se ve Siboney.El parque es muy amplio con todas las figuras de cartón piedra, en otoño no hay masificación de gente y se está mucho mejor a la vez,por no haber el calor de verano. Hay pocos sitios donde comprar bebidas estuvimos bien atendidos por los guardas del parque, es un lugar perfecto para ir con niños.Estando allí no dejar de ver el orquidiario que está cerca y es una belleza
Its large, big and hot, but its beautiful too you stay there all day.
We took my son and his girlfriend there as he has a big interest in old vehicles. The park is only a few minutes by scooter from our hotel (Baconero) and it has quite a few vehicles on display-- ie Fidel's mother's car, 1st prototype of a Cuban car and many others. The person providing us with the tour was very knowledgeable about the various vehicles on display. A neat place to spend a few hours. Highly recommended to the vehicle buffs........Fee is a couple of pesos.
The Valle de la Prehistoria park is a fun place to bring children. The park is well maintained by friendly staff. There is a cafe on site.The nearby Museo Nacional del Transporte is not very interesting. You will see more old cars while standing on any Cuban street corner for 10 minutes. The one exception to this being the tiny Maya Cuba convertible.
hmmm..this one was interesting...not quite parque cespedes but very different - lots of locals around...and lots of tourists around...so walking shoes alert - high heels not apply it's NOT that kind of place* ;) wink* espadrilles? si! saw lots of those so i wore mine when i went back! parque es bueno!
Bezoek, als je het kunt vinden, Het Dino park, automobielmuseum en zwembad tussen de bergen, allen op korte afstand en prima voor een dagtrip. Vooral het Dino-park heel mooi gedaan in vooral overweldigende setting en natuur
For families with children will love them.It has large stone animals such as dinosaurs and others, is also the small car museum and aquarium.
Absolutely wotrh seeng! A lot of old cars, in which you can seat and make a foto, and as a bonus a museum with tons of car models.
Lovely drive out of Santiago thru the park to visit the Granjita Siboney - where the Revolution was "born". We were amazed at how many trees were blown down by Hurricane "Sandy". All along the roadside are the graves of the revloutionaries who were killed after the revolution went wrong and the rebels headed back from Santiago. It is very well done indeed. Che's Granjita Siboney is a must do spot to visit. Very tranquil. The bullet riddled front wall of the villa shows you that the army of the day did not think much of the revolution! You see Che's car and memorabilia from the embryonic revloution. Quite touching. Whole trip made for a nice morning.
