What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Monte Gurugú for its breathtaking panoramic views and the exciting encounters with wild monkeys. The paved road is a plus, though parking can be tight. Some reviewers noted that the area could benefit from better maintenance and facilities like bathrooms.
"This is such a great mountain with amazing panoramic views. The road is tarmac all the way and there are a few small areas to stop and take photos. There isn't much parking at the top for motorhomes as the entrance between the trees us narrow, OK for cars. There are monkeys near the top. Great day out."
Richard Attoe
"This is a wonderful park, great for biking and hiking. Amazing views. If you're lucky you'll see some monkeys too. Sadly, it is full of garbage."
Maria Tokareva
"Such a great experience! There are a lot of monkeys all over the mountain. Please make sure to bring some water alongside with food (biscuits or fruits) because the monkeys are very thirsty."
