    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.

    Worth only for the view of town. You can see a good view of rocks and beach from here. Close at 6 pm. 20-30 min walk to there and 70 C or 2$ entrance fee.

    Stunning views of SJDS bay. Peaceful church under the Cristo with historical facts about the area. You can hike or drive up. Cost: $2

    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.

    Beautiful view of SJDS. Steep hills to run or walk if you want a short workout. You can also drive to the base and hike up a short steep hill. $1 entrance fee for nationals, $2 for foreigners equivalent to 35 NIO /70 NIO.

    $2 entrance fee for an awesome view of all San Juan and nearby beaches. You can drive to a very close parking and walk up. Below the statue there is a mini-chapel. Totally worth seeing.

    It's a beautiful view with an entrance of 2 dollars for gringos .It's a steep hill to go up, paved so it's not difficult to walk. We went for the sunset and weren't disappointed.

  • 5/5 Yannic T. 4 months ago on Google • 268 reviews
    From here you can enjoy a great view of San Juan del Sur. It's best to come in the late afternoon to experience the sunset here. There are enough parking spaces and you only have to walk a short distance uphill. The entrance fee is perfectly fine for tourists (approx. 2€). If necessary, toilets are also available.

    Killer view. Terrible walk from the beach though...lol.

  • 3/5 Marin M. 3 months ago on Google • 169 reviews New
    Nice view but you can skip paying the entrance fee by going on a terrace at the side of the entrance.

  • 4/5 Ché S. 1 month ago on Google • 168 reviews New

  • 5/5 Emmy A. 3 weeks ago on Google • 151 reviews New
    It is a little far from the beach. It is a fairly extensive and very difficult walk.

  • 5/5 Steven Theodore W. 4 months ago on Google • 126 reviews
    •November 2023• a fun little hike to a stunning view of San Juan Del Sur and the giant Jesus statue. Definitely worth the effort to get there.

  • 5/5 Alessandro L. 3 months ago on Google • 84 reviews New
    Phenomenal views , I recommend a motorbike to get there , $2 admission fee, well worth it

  • 5/5 Bella 1 month ago on Google • 82 reviews New
    Beautiful view. Take into account that it is an uphill walk which is very demanding, however some choose to take transportation which is quite affordable in price, however I recommend the walk.

  • 5/5 Angela G. 3 months ago on Google • 75 reviews New
    So much fun to get to! Such a steep road! There was a guy standing at a gate collecting entrance money... I think we got over charged. The view down into San Juan del Sur.

  • 5/5 K I P. 8 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Just getting to the top is an adventure but we’ll worth it. The views are espectacular and you can appreciate the natural beauty of this country. Make sure to look around so you don’t miss out on the good photo spots.

  • 5/5 G M. 3 months ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    Excellent, must visit in San Juan Del Sur. take $2s per person with you though as the classic ‘tax’ needs paying up there too.

  • 5/5 Mercedes M. 2 weeks ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    Beautiful view that can be appreciated

  • 5/5 Sandra E. 2 months ago on Google • 37 reviews New
    Beautiful point of view.. they ask for an entrance price of 30-50 córdobas I didn't have and they let me pass.

  • 5/5 Louis K. 4 months ago on Google • 31 reviews

  • 5/5 Hannah T. 1 month ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    We walked from the hostel Casa Oro and we were told it was about a mile… it was a lot further and it was a difficult walk up the hill, but the views were awesome! Cute little museum explaining the history of how it came to be, and we loved watching the waves come in

  • 4/5 Jose Andres R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice view but you get charged 2$ per person to get up to the statue where the best view is

  • 5/5 Jackson S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great view of San Juan del Sur and an excellent spot to watch the sunset. It’s just a short walk from the town but the paved road up is fairly steep. It’s open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, although you can stay later and costs $2 for tourist and $1 for locals. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Omar S. 5 years ago on Google
    A steep walk and $2 is a small price to pay for this experience. I don't consider myself overly religious but I even marveled at this statue of Jesus. You will also get some amazing views of San Juan del Sur and the beach area.

  • 5/5 Jim B. 2 years ago on Google
    This was amazing to see up close in person. It is a bit of a climb to get here but worth it. The view from this monument is incredible.

  • 4/5 Lupita M. 3 years ago on Google
    Es hermoso el lugar. Lo malo es que no hay señales para el turismo para llegar al cristo. Por casualidad encontramos a un señor del local y muy amablemente nos indico como llegar, otras personas se regresaron y no conocieron 😔

  • 5/5 Mary T. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful viewpoint overlooking San Juan del sur. a steep hike but we’ll worth it!

  • 5/5 Paul D. 2 years ago on Google
    The hike from my house is 6km. It is a good workout. I plan to do this 3 times a week.

  • 5/5 Trading H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful view of San Juan Del Sur from the top. We walked from town center and it took an hour. The last part is up a very steep road. We took a few breaks on the way up and finally made it. The walk is definitely worth it!

  • 5/5 Aviah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice view. It cost 2$ to get in. The way up is very steep not all vehicles can do it

  • 5/5 Mary S. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place! .. This is the best view of San Juan del Sur. You can drive there but there will still be a little bit of stairs that will make you want to take a break at the entrance to catch your breath. Also hold on to your phone when taking a selfie it's very windy.

  • 5/5 Mili C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place to see the sunset! You must drive up a steep hill and still walk a few more steps. Plan ahead so you make it on time. There's a fee of $2 per foreigners and $1 for nationals.

  • 5/5 Shirina I. 1 year ago on Google
    30 minutes hike up to the location. Great views over San Juan and the other side which reminds me of the Caribbean. $2 entrance for tourists.

  • 4/5 Juliana S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a bit of a climb to the top, but well worth the view. We went at sunset and it was lovely. You can drive pretty close, but we walked from Sam Juan del Sur and it didn't take very long at all.

  • 5/5 Jenny W. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy walk along the beach to the end where there is a gate that leads to a path and then a steep walk up to the statue by road. Nice to go up for sunset. Our hostel advised us to leave right after the sun goes down so we are not walking along the beach in the dark as he has heard of people being robbed a few times per year on the beach at night.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 3 years ago on Google
    An awesome view of the whole area. Be very prepared for a bit of a workout if you want to walk. It's only accessible by road and... it's steep

  • 4/5 Faith B. 10 months ago on Google
    Some difficult place to reach by car. GPS is inaccurate. Pay minimal fee to enter. It's worth the effort for breath taking views

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to get a look at the beaches, towns and bays to the north. If driving there google maps will send you the wrong way but a helpful local will help you out. The road is really, really steep and cars take the corners wide coming down so be alert.

  • 5/5 Ares A “A7A” T. 1 year ago on Google
    To get here from Hola ola hostel or even the town is around 30-45 min very very steep Also you need to pay $2 entrance The view is stunning especially sunset

    (Translated by Google) The view from here is simply spectacular. If you go up on foot, be prepared, because the uphill path is not easy, but if you pay attention, you will be able to admire beautiful landscapes of other beaches, not only of the San Juan del Sur bay. (Original) La vista desde aquí es simplemente espectacular. Si suben a pie, prepárense, porque el camino cuesta arriba no es nasa fácil, pero si ponen atención, podrán admirar paisajes hermosos de otras playas, no solo de la bahía de San Juan del Sur.

    Amazing views of SJ bay, too bad the Jesus statue is there, would have been better to have a 360 mirador.

  • 5/5 Amine B. 3 years ago on Google
    The view is really awesome, and the place is worth to visit. The best time to visit is early in the morning or during the sunset. But I prefer early in the morning because it is not crowded and you will have enough time to enjoy and capture a great photos.

    (Translated by Google) San Juan del, Christ of Mercy. Not being able to go to San Juan if you don't go to Christ, it is a spectacular view of the entire coast and its mountains.
