We visited the place on the day celebrating the fiesta for Dia de Cochabamba which coincides with the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross of Jesus. We challenged ourselves to walk up to the top and fully immerse in the experience. Visitors can decide how to reach the place. By walking, by car, or by cable car. Reminders for those deciding to walk up: - the best time to walk up is around 5:30am to 8am (beyond these times, it could be very hot and glaring) - bring water (or you may buy from those selling along the way and literally along the stairs - protect yourselves from the heat of the sun (with caps, sunglasses, sunblocks, long sleves, etc) - be mindful of your heart and medical conditions (Bolivia is situated in a high altitude from sea level so foreigners must be very careful) - some say it can be scaled within half an hour but our group has to stop many times along the way (also me being careful and trying not to overestimate my capacity that i have fully adapted to the altitude norms) There are small stalls at the top where you can buy water, refreshments, snacks and trinkets as souvenirs. There is also a restaurant (which we didn't try to find out how it was or what was in there😅).

For being a monument of this size and fame it is extremely inexpensive to visit and even climb inside of. The view is fantastic as can be imagined. Be aware that the first set of steps inside of the statue is quite narrow, and you're only holding on to a piece of rebar as you go up it. The trick is to place your right foot on the mini-square-step and the left foot on the larger ones (on your way down that particular set, try going sideways or even backwards) . The rest of the stories are typical steel circular steps with handrails and feel much safer. There is zero artificial lighting in there, but the light from the peep holes ia juuust enough to see. The peepholes are not large enough to take wide angle shots out of unless you stick your hand out through the holes. Sounds scary, but all you need to do is bring a small camera or just a phone but absolutely have a lanyard on your device that is firmly tied to your wrist. There, problem solved. Oh, one other thing, some floors smell of urine. But in the end, it was a unique experience that you can't really find fault with, and will be forever glad you went through.

El lugar está muy bien cuidado y tiene una vista bonita, tiene muchos basureros en todo el lugar para mantenerlo limpio lo cual me parece increíble ya que en la ciudad de Cochabamba curiosamente hay muy pocos basureros en las calles. Se puede subir a pie, en auto o en teleférico. Subimos en auto, todo el camino es empedrado y está bastante cuidado, en la parte de arriba hay un espacio destinado a parqueos muy amplio, dejando el auto ahí se tiene que subir unas gradas para llegar al Cristo, no se permite aparcar en la parte superior lo cual también está bien para mantener el lugar ordenado. Cuando fui en el mes de febrero aún tenían los adornos de navidad armados lo cual le restaba mucho a la vista del lugar y perjudicaba para sacar fotos bonitas sin embargo nos dimos modos y pudimos obtener lindas fotos, tiene varios sectores con miradores a distintos lugares de la ciudad, están muy bien cuidados y señalizados. Pude subir con mi perrita sin problema siempre respetando el lugar y teniéndola a ella con Correa todo el tiempo. Están realizando una ampliación seguramente para tener lugares donde comer, por el momento solamente tienen un puesto que te vende agua y helados lo cual está muy bien porque hace bastante calor en la cima. No entramos al Cristo, no estaba habilitada la entrada el día que fuimos. Hay un kiosko en las gradas donde venden también Dulces, galletas y recuerdos del lugar. Es de las cosas más bonitas en la ciudad de Cochabamba. El horario de ingreso en auto es de lunes a viernes de 9am a 5pm y sábados y domingos de 7am a 5pm, el ingreso es libre.

Taller than Rio's Cristo Redentor, master piece with exceptional views of Cochabamba. 10 Bolivianos entrance fee, toilets available near the children's park for a Boliviano, refreshments for sale at different points and a restaurant with great views near the Christ. A bit of a workout going up the stairs, but landings make it easy to go slow. Don't miss the recently added viewpoint by the right of the Christ. These views can't be beaten.

If you can take the cable car up, I highly recommend it. The hike up is what I did as the cable car line was very long and was not worth the wait. Walking up the hill took about 30 minutes. There are a few little drink stands along the way up the mountain so if you do need a glass of water or Gatorade, you can find it. When you get up to the top, it is a wonderful view.

I like it a lot even though I couldn't climb up to the shoulders. It is possible to get inside the statue and climb it up to get an incredible view of the city but there are no lights inside the Christ so usually it closes pretty early. It is possible to reach the Christ statue by stairs but I would suggest to go up through teleférico and down by walking.
