The capital is less than an hour away via the highway. The morning is spent walking among the Catedral Primada de América, Alcázar de Colón, Calle Las Damas, and the pedestrian street El Conde. The afternoon usually ends at Parque Nacional Los Tres Ojos, the underground lagoons on Av. Las Américas crossed by hand-pulled raft.
