Complejo Turístico Mi Pueblito — Attraction in Ancón

This is replica of a colonial town, located on the foothill of the Ancon Hill. I'd recommend it if you plan to visit Ancon Hill.

The tour takes about 30-45 minutes and you can take some pretty pictures here. The entrance fee was $3 for a foreigner, and I think it's totally worth it. After you visit Mi Pueblito, just walk 100 meter uphill to get to the staircase that goes up to...
