Hello. Thank you for the information. Do you think sr citizen around 65 yrs old would be able to walk around the park ? Is there any easier way to get to the top of the hill (red gate) ? I was curious if there is soo much climbing involved or maybe there are areas for slight walking/sightseeing.
And lastly, would you know if there are taxis there to go back home ? Thanks in advance.
There is a direct road going to the top of the hill. But you’ll need to talk to the guard if it’s possible to walk there so they’ll open the gate for you. The walk around the gardens is very steep in some parts so I wouldn’t recommend it to the elderly. As for taxis, yes. There are taxis passing by the road. Just make sure to avoid waiting for a taxi during the rush hours (7 to 10am and 3:30 pm onwards).
Thank you Johanes Godoy !!.. Appreciate it.
