Loma de la Cruz: Historic Hilltop with Stunning Panoramic Views

Loma de la Cruz: Historic Hilltop with Stunning Panoramic Views

At the northern end of Maceo, a stairway built in 1950 leads 465 steps up a 275m hill, rewarding climbers with sweeping panoramic views, a restaurant, and a 24-hour bar. Reach the base via a 20-minute walk from the city center or a bici-taxi ride (CUC $1). Climb early morning for pristine light and cooler temperatures.

A cross was erected here in 1790 to seek relief from drought. On May 3 during Romerías de Mayo, devotees ascend for a special summit Mass.
