A very elegant beautiful chapel nestled on top of a mountain. Its beautiful inside and out but be respectful of cameras inside it's still a house of worship And meant to be cared about. I'd def say it has a wonderful view. We took a tourism bus the kuku kunuku up to see this and varying areas of the island. I am amazed at how serene and beautiful the chapel looked. Cacti surrounds it and the road to it was rocky but when you look at it and see it you will be wowed at its beauty. Smallish yes but still the location and the look make it worthy of a stop if on the island. Would love to see it again someday. Def a meaningful visit

It's a beautiful chapel. It's peaceful and tranquil. It is surrounded by a little cactus forest. Don't miss this place to visit when you're around. It's worth. Also there is a small stall outside for refreshing drink, watermelon and pineapple slices and mainly fresh coconut water. Also couple of stalls for souvenirs. You might find lot of ATVs parked here as the tour operator have them in their route I guess, when we were here there were at least 20 or 40 ATVs parked on street. Outside the chapel there are few cactus tress where the tourists queue up to take photos. So I need to get in line to get the correct pic.

Nice reconstructed chapel (1952) on the site of the original chapel built around 1770. The chapel itself is active and maintained well. The seat surrounding the chapel itself is of a amphitheater seating in a concentric half circle. The is a small view of the coast when standing in the parking lot. The three vendors that sell refreshments and gifts have mobile card readers. Getting there is are 14 signs of the stations of the cross. This is a typical place for the tours around the island and is worthy of inclusion.

Locals have a Wednesday mass here. So it's still a functional church, but it is revered more as a historical and tourist site. It sits atop a mountain with grand views of the surrounding arid desert. There are no restrooms here. We visited with a safari tour as one of our stops. There were a couple of vendors on site selling souvenirs, food, and drinks. The whole family can enjoy this area. There's also a billboard showing a map with trails from this point. Keep in mind there's not a lot of shade here.

Alto Vista Chapel is an old Chapel in the middle of the hills that is quaint and small inside, but has lots of concrete pews outside. There is usually a good truck in the parking lot of you're coming to visit and check it out. There's also some nice nature walks and a quiet maze that you can walk as well. If you are Catholic, you probably want to come see this, however if you're not, it may not be your type of thing as it's a little out of the way.

Started at Alto Vista Chapel which was very beautiful. I highly recommend coming early in the morning around 6-8am to avoid the ATVs as there are tons that come here as one of their attraction stops. I started at Alto Vista and completed the hike here that was about two hours. The hike consisted of walking the coastline which was absolutely beautiful and so calming. Highly recommend bringing lots of water as it is very hot and not much shade.
