Taking the cable car top of Mt. Isabel de Torres is the only way to go. Once there, walk the rain forest garden trail, have a basic snack in he restaurant, and visit shops within the base of statue. Good fun. Usually much cooler than city, prepare. More

And take a jacket! At around 3,300 feet high, it gets chilly at the top of Isobel de Torres. But it is worth the cable car ride up to the top to meander around the botanical gardens. Be sure to drop a tip to the musicians playing to amuse you while you wait for the car - they're a nice... More
