Visitor Center

by frankcanfly

You`ll have to climb 500+ steps from the parking area, but if you`re on crutches, they`ll drive you up. (thanks Carlos). At the top, you`ll find this visitor center, complete with scientific explanations of what goes on here. They also show a `day in the life` movie, in Spanish on the hour, in English on the half hour.

The Approach

by frankcanfly

After 30 minutes of winding roads after passing the town of Arecibo, this is the first view.It seems surreal, I`m looking around for James Bond or Doctor Evil to appear. (portions of `Goldfinger` were filmed here)

Overlooking the dish

Now you`ve read about it inside the visitor center, it's time to open the door to see the parabolic dish in person!

Three Massive Towers

One of the three support towers. They average 300 ft in height, and were built in an average of 20 days each!

Wider than it appears

The dish is over 1,000 feet across. The empire state building could lay in it`s side inside!!
