Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- blessed116London, UK162 contributionsSuperb and not to be missed. Simply get a taxi to the station, avoid the chatter that says it is the last train and you should pick up a van to meet the train halfway up. The trains run regularly. We caught the 5 pm and it took 20 minutes to go up. Had plenty of time to see the spectacular views and marvel at the sunset before going down. If you want a taxi at a reasonable price once you have descended, I suggest you walk away from the site so that you get a reasonably priced Uber.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kimberly BFort Worth, TX31 contributionsUnbelievable views of the waterfalls. Smaller than the Argentine side, we only needed a couple of hours there. But the views were spectacular!Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tom Mike H1 contributionExploring Machu Picchu with Terra Quechua Peru was an unforgettable photographic experience. From sunrise to sunset, the agency took us to the best spots to capture the breathtaking views and majesty of the ruins from unique angles. In addition, I had the opportunity to explore the surroundings and capture the unique flora and fauna of the region. The guide Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and patient, making sure that each of us was able to get the best photos while learning about the history and culture of the area.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PsychoPatkaLondon, UK87 contributionsOne of the most beautiful parks I visited. It's a great place to wander or to rent a bike and ride around, appreciating the fantastic views! Brazil has some most exciting, wonderful and exotic nature I've ever seen.Written 12 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob HDallas, TX39 contributionsWow - a realistic time machine exists in Cartegena! Very high energy exhibited throughout the walled city. Quite crowded and usually rather loud music everywhere. Narrow streets and you definitely get the sense you’re back in time a few centuries. Glad we came - even with the steady high humidity levels. Quite affordable and the people are happy and provides a high level of personal hospitalityWritten 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Clifford EPenllyn, Pennsylvania64 contributionsWe knew that this was a must-see building during our stay in Buenos Aires. We were not disappointed. Our English speaking tour guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and easy to understand. She interacted well with the group. The interior of the building is extraordinary, and in excellent condition. We would love to hear a concert there!Written 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fly highColombo, Sri Lanka560 contributionsReal contrast and new development with high rise apartment Towers but also green and spacious for walking and recreation. I walked there from my San Talmo hotel about 20 mins. The gates to the nature reserve footbridge wasn't open at the time but would have been special to see what that looked like and how different the night scene would be.Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rapoo S3 contributionsThe avenue is blocked on Sundays, but people are still free to stroll about. Along with a number of eateries and cafés. Some roofs are open late for beverages and delicious dinners. Need to leave. Treat wallets and ostentatious, showy cameras with caution.Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alessia S1 contributionI just returned from an amazing city tour in Lima with my family, and I can't stop recommending Terra Quechua Peru travel agency. We visited the Plaza Mayor, where we admired the Cathedral and the Government Palace, and explored the Convent of San Francisco and its catacombs. We also enjoyed the Malecon in Miraflores and tasted the delicious ceviche in a local restaurant. The attention of the agency team and the rich history we learned made this experience unforgettable, definitely worth it!Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
