  • Worth the walk! We barely walked for 30-40mintues (pretty calm), and very safe in the morning. Be careful as there are massive ramps to get to the Cristo! You will need to pay 2$ for entrance, but definetly worth the price. Best views from San Juan beach.
  • The view from up here is spectacular. You can see the complete beauty of San Juan del Sur and take photos of it. It has a few benches to sit and chat.
