    This place was beautiful and on top of a mountain in Saltillo, Mexico. My wife has family there and they took us there. Its not Rio but still beautiful. Wonderful place to visit and get that fresh air.

    Very beautiful view. It's recommended to go by car because walking is extremely tiring if you're not used to it. It goes without saying that the area has many drug addicts and troublemakers, and it's quite common to have strange experiences with them because they tend to be there even at midday. If you go alone, I recommend carrying a weapon, and if it's at night, go with someone. I say this from experience; I've been there more than 10 times, day and night, into the early morning.

    A gigantic statue of Christ stands at the viewpoint, offering a beautiful view of the entire city. There's a road leading up and a small parking lot. The surrounding area is neglected; there are restrooms and a ceremony hall, but they're completely abandoned and smell very bad. It's a good spot for taking some nice photos, and that's about it.

    An incredible view, it's a shame Allan burned it down when it was made of plastic. I haven't found any videos of how it caught fire, but hopefully someone can help me with a link or a video.
