Cristo Blanco Viewpoint

Cristo Blanco is a hilltop monument with an open view across central Cusco. Its value lies in the panorama as much as the statue itself.

Cristo Blanco Viewpoint

Why go

From the ridge, the city’s street grid, church roofs and valley setting become easier to read. The monument sits near the Saqsaywaman area, so it can round out a northern hill excursion without being confused with the archaeological site. The open ridge also exposes visitors to changing weather.

What to look for

  • The hilltop monument looks down over Cusco's roofs.

Useful to know

  • Combine with the Saqsaywaman ridge and check daylight and weather before going for the view.
