Fodor's Expert Review Cerro de la Cruz

Antigua Viewpoint

The view from this hillside perch north of the city, with its cross in the foreground, city rooftops and Volcán Agua in the background, is Antigua's best-known postcard vista. In person, the view is even better.

Only visit during the hours of 8 am and 5 pm when a police officer is stationed here.

Plan on a 45-minute walk one way, bring a bottle of water, and wear sunscreen and a brimmed hat.
