  • Over 950 steps. I was sick and hadn't been hiking in weeks so I needed many breaks but it still only took 50mins to get to the top. The bush was dry and not that appealing but the views were...

  • No one wanted to go with me, so after reading about it and the great views,I did this hike solo. Halfway up, I thought it was ominous that this hike starts in a graveyard. I’m in good shape for age.....  more

  • Lovely valley view within easy reach of downtown. It's just a little over an hour round-trip. Slight discomfort with armed guard warning us to not stay too long up there (?!) but it was fine. Paved...

  • The most impressive views of the city of Jinotega, the Dantalí - El Diablo Natural Reserve, Lake Apanás and the green mountains of Northern Nicaragua can be seen after a 45-minute climb on Cerro de la Cruz, one of the attractions of the municipality of Jinotega.
  • Excellent place for those who like hiking, I would say that the distance is short, but it is difficult depending on your age. Being my first time I reached the summit in 29 minutes, which is not a record, but it will refer you to the time you need. The somewhat complicated descent, imagine going down more than 900 steps in a row. But being at the top you would never want to get off, it is spectacular. It is a beautiful experience, one of those that will give you something to talk about at your family gatherings.
  • super tiring but worth it.
  • A unique and incomparable view
