It is a great view, but as others have said, don't walk there, take a taxi. We didn't to our research beforehand and went there on a whim - we walked... we didn't go all the way, rather we stopped half way where the view is still great. We got mugged.

Good views of the city and the statue itself it quite impressive.

A fun day, a wonderful memory. Totally worth it. More

Drive up the steep hill to get there was an adventure in itself. Lovely but very expensive restaurant at top. I recommend the typical Ecuadorian soup. Delicious and affordable. More
