I have gone to Cristo Rey twice, once by car, once..WALKING! It took 2 and a half hours but was well worth it. I recommend walking if you want to get in touch with your spiritual side. I'm only 14 and I made it up there. It was fun. more

I have been to 'Cristo Rey' several times. I enjoy the peace the place brings to those people visiting, wheather locals or people from other countries.Anumber of images can be located at the Webshots site. Some are under the title 'Monumento a Cristo Rey' while others are under 'El Cubilete' and still other usless titles. Good luck on your searches.... more

I would recommend it for anyone... more

I was just there December 2002 and as time goes by is more fascinating. From what I know Cristo Rey is going under construction and I believe every year that goes... more
