Outstanding elevation that has become an iconic element of the Guanajuato landscape.
It reaches a height of 2,700 meters above sea level and serves as a platform for the towering Cristo Rey (Christ the King) statue, which measures 20m (65 feet) and weighs 80 tons. The statue represents the figure of Jesus standing with his arms outstretched and an angel at either side, one holding a crown of thorns and the other a royal crown. The spherical building that serves as the base of the statue was built in art deco style and houses a circular altar. There is also a museum atop the summit.
Here you will have stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Guanajuato valley. You can explore the surroundings by bike or if you are more adventurous you can try to fly over the amazing statue practicing paragliding.
