"Sugar factory steam train ride" Top 5 Page for this destination Guardalavaca Things to Do Tip by TOFFY

To the west of Guardalavaca, is the small, but busy, town of Rafael Freyre, now known as Santa Lucia. Your hotel will offer a tour here on a steam engine into the countryside, followed by a trip to the Columbus monument, including a horse and buggy ride, a theatrical production and lunch. This is a nice relaxing tour and worth the $49.00 (2006).
If you are renting a car, you can visit the steam engine, but it is my understanding that only tour groups can now ride the train. However, if you are looking for a little trip in the car, a drive to Playa Blanca and Don Lino will lead you to a smaller monument commemorating the arrival of Columbus on that bay. It is hard to find, down a one way street the wrong way, but makes an interesting challenge.
