"With all the trees they've planted recently, the cemetery looks much more scenic. It's becoming a great spot for birdwatching thanks to this reforestation. There are many old and not-so-old graves, but there isn't much space left to continue burying people."
Caliman
"A lovely place for walking, cycling, or other vehicle use. Abundant native vegetation adorns the area, and there are special gardens for pollinating species. Here you can observe bees, hummingbirds, squirrels, iguanas, owls, and more."
Brayan Ramírez Camacho
"Clean. The municipal assistance was very organized (firefighters helping, there were carts to transport people, etc.). A few extra benches would be nice."
