Peñon del Aguila
PeñondelAguila is a theme park offering ‘alpine adventures.’ Rappelling, ziplining, a canopy boardwalk, nature trails and waterfalls are all in abundance, cheerfully guided by folks in Tirolese outfits. The whole show wraps up with a sunset song-and-dance spectacular paying homage to Gambrinus, the king of beer. We kid you not.

Cerro La Cumbrecita
The best reason to visit La Cumbrecita is to hike. Short trails are well marked and the tourist office offers a crude but useful map of the area. Cerro La Cumbrecita is the highest point in town, about a 20-minute walk from the bridge.
