Alto de la Cruz viewpoint — Attraction in Quindío

The view is pretty average, nothing impressive. The best part is the walk and climbing the stairs, which is fine for exercise if you’ve eaten a lot or just want to stay active during the day. At the top, there’s not much to do—just look around and maybe get a nice photo if the weather is good. The biggest downside is that the place is completely neglected. Walking on the grass, you’ll find dog droppings everywhere, and along what once seemed to be a trail, we even came across...

For the low amount of effort it takes to get to the view point there's really no reason not to do it. Is it the most spectacular view? No.

You'll spend an enjoyable 20 minutes up there and move on. It also gives you a good image of how the town is laid out.

Instead of going down the stairs to get back go left down a little side trail. There are a few shops including an amazing ceramics shop that actually has high quality souvenirs made...

Great place to visit to get a glimpse of the valley. If you want a better view you will have to actually go to the Cocora Valley Trail. There are two ways up. You can go up through the Calle Real or through a path that connects the Mirador de Salento with Mirador...
