This beautiful park and museum is located 420 feet above sea level on the grounds of a perfectly manicured plantation. The word "coyaba" means paradise in the Arawak language. Here you'll learn about several cultures: Taino Indian, Arawak and Spanish. An extensive collection of artifacts and trinkets are the main focus of the museum's exhibits. The stone courtyard will leave you breathless, as will the wide range of tropical plants, flowers and small fountains that decorate the premises. Ideal location for weddings and other events. Admission runs about USD5.
