Very nice reserve close to Arecibo. Definitely worth your time. Went on a Sunday late afternoon. Few things rocking this down from a 5 star rating: area around it a bit sketchy, costs $10 a person to enter (not big money, but the principle of paying for something that seems like it should be free), the attendant a little rude, they close at 5 PM, and I have seen lots similar lanscapes in my travels.
