5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The transportation was a little confusing to understand, I had to ask a lot of strangers for help, which I can because I speak Spanish, but it would be difficult for someone who doesn’t speak the language.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Although GYE has gotten to be a big city and still growing, the lack of cleanliness is evident.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Concrete concrete everywhere ... lack of green areas or “historic old town” feeling disturbing
