Review & FAQ:
One of the best viewpoints in the city of Antigua, Cerro de la Cruz is well worth the ascent to the top. The site is best known for being home to a large cross dedicated to the city's patron saint, but it also offers stunning views of the city and the far-off Volcan de Agua.
The area unfortunately has a reputation for assaults and muggings, but a police escort is offered every day between 10 am and 3 pm. Visitors who are worried about safety can also choose to join a guided tour or drive to the top instead of walk. Map
