Cristo de la Concordia
A giant statue of Christ on the summit of San Pedro Hill, taller than the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio. Take a cable car up to see the entire Cochabamba valley below.
The Christ of Concord statue was completed in 1994. The statue is 34.2 meters tall, or about 40 meters including its pedestal, making it taller than Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer and one of the largest Christ statues in South America. You can take a cable car up in about 10 minutes, or walk up about 1,400 steps, which takes around 40 minutes. It is recommended to go with a companion and during the day. On Sundays, you can pay a small fee to climb the internal staircase up to Christ's arm for a viewpoint. From the summit, you can look out over the city and Lake Alalay. The views are best in the evening. The cable car is closed on Mondays. A round trip costs about 15 Bolivianos.
