Five stars because of the amount of information you can gather about Ecuador's long and arduous plight against imperialism/Catholic church's tyrannical grip on struggling countries. The facts are in and this place has the documents to prove it. The views up there is remarkable. Go with some time so you can explore what these people have to offer the world. It's free.

Great views from this magic place. Monticristi is where the famous Panama hats are hand made and exported to the world from Ecuador.

It is abandoned, but there is still something to appreciate.

a good family experience to learn a little about our stories

Underwhelming and small museum. Nothing much to see here. The place is well kept and there's a lot of parking spaces. If already in town you might as well visit it but it's nothing special at all.

An otherworldly experience. The art and architecture were amazing. The boardwalks back down to Monte Cristi were in need of some repair. I'd recommend a taxi to the top and walking back down. There were some nice local crafts by the Museo.

Place with a lot of potential but neglected. Uncut grass, closed museums and unmaintained attractions. It's a shame for the artisans there, they were very kind!

I can only define this place as a blatant propaganda shrine. Walls are covered with odes and oaths to the glorious leader Alfaro. Places like this one and ideas found here are the ones that stop Ecuador from reaching its full potential. You can not strive for democracy when a cult of personality exists.

Great place to visit the Eloy Alfaro museum. There is an old train there too. Eloy is known for creating the railway in Ecuador when he was president of the country. Lots of little vendor and a couple of cafe's.

(Translated by Google) Very nice but everything is in decline due to lack of maintenance (Original) Muy lindo pero todo está en decadencia por la falta de mantenimiento

Great visiting location. Lots to learn. Wish the tour guide spoke more English but she gave a good tour despite her limited English.

Alot of history in the museo!!! Another must see!!

A nice place to learn about our past os history and that can serve for our future!

Ciudad Alfaro is high above Montecristi, Peru, a town a few miles from Manta, Ecuador. Ciudad Alfaro is a meeting place for legislators from all parts of Peru. It has a nice, small museum and a mausoleum for Eloy Alfaro Delgado. Montecristi is a pretty town. We bought one of their locally-made from paja-toquilla. Photos of the plaza, church, hats, ciudad Alfaro.

A most, definitely. The best spot for tourism in Montecristi

Not the American experience, but they have stores to look through. Still, it is very interesting on the displays of Ecuadorian history. Pictures are there for the taking. All in all we enjoyed our time.

Very interesting history on Ecuadorian culture. We enjoyed our visit at the center.

Nice place to tell Alfaro's work.

A great place for photos and enjoy the view of this important place full of history that is Montecristi. The mausoleum, the tunnel are incredible

Amazing monument. Great view of the town. Why doesn’t the pool have water?

If you are in the area male time to visit Ciudad Alfaro. Also, the locals had better prices than MonteCristi for hand made crafts.
