#AbsolutelyFreeTrip A hill that is easily accessible from the city center and offers a panoramic view of the city. You can see Mount Agua right in front of you, but Antigua is surrounded by three volcanoes: Mount Agua, Mount Fuego, and Acatenango. Of these, only Mount Fuego is still volcanically active.

#Let's go abroad #Antigua #Hill of Crosses #Best view #World Heritage Site #Mayan Civilization Antigua Guatemala. It is a wonderful city where the entire city is registered as a World Heritage Site. Among them, one spot that you should definitely visit is the Hill of Crosses, located on the northern outskirts of the city. You can get to this hill in less than 20 minutes on foot from the city center ^_^ You can get a panoramic view of the city, and above all, the combination with the beautiful volcano🌋 that stands behind the city, with a shape similar to Mt. Fuji, is beautiful ❣️ For the following reasons, we recommend visiting early in the morning ♪ ◉ In the afternoon, clouds appear and hide the mountain. ◉ There are many visitors during the day. The last photo was taken with a family from Colombia who had come on a family trip and we had become good friends ^_^ Having these kinds of encounters is also one of the joys of traveling ☺️📍Location: Antigua Guatemala

#0yentrip I went to the Hill of Crosses in Antigua, Guatemala! It was a wonderful place with a panoramic view of the city of Antigua! Until recently, it was said to be a slightly unsafe place, but now there are police there, so there is no need to worry about security. Please be sure to visit!

#Travelwithme How to get there: I recommend taking the shuttle bus from the capital, Guatemala City Tourist attractions: All over the city, especially cafe hopping is fun Hotel: Pension Tashiro Meals: Daily lunch at La Casa de las Mixtas There are many places you can go to starting from Antigua, such as Acatenango Volcano, Lake Atitlan, and the Chichicastenango market (Thursdays and Sundays). If you stay at Pension Tashiro and have them make a reservation, you can be sure of the shuttle and tours. Everything is sold at the Mercado, so you don't have to worry if you run out of clothes or other things.

There is a place where you can see a really great view when you travel to Antigua, Guatemala, Central America!! You can walk up and go up quickly, but it is a high altitude, so it may be a little harder for those with altitude sickness ㅎㅎ..😂 It is free to go up to the observatory, and there were a lot of tourists when you arrived! You can see a great view, so if you go to Antigua, you should definitely go❤️👍 📍Hill of the Cross H779+P7H, Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala #HongKongAirFlightEvent #GuatemalaTravel #Antigua

#fallishere Amazing view of the city of Antigua even it a bit cloudy and it was peaceful in the morning. It was a great hike and it’s best to go early if you can. Wear proper hiking shoes and don’t forget to bring bottled water and a rag. I got to the top of the hill around 7:30am. The only other people there were the park cleaning staff. The hours of Cerro de la Cruz are 7am-6pm and it’s free to enter. I went on a Wednesday morning, but I imagine it gets very busy and much hotter in the afternoon.
