Najlepší čas na návštevu

A clear morning hour, preferably before 10 a.m., gives crystal-clear visibility of the snow-capped volcanoes and short shadows. The afternoon often becomes hazy, and rain clouds typically gather as the day goes on.

Tipy na rozpočet

The hill area itself and the view are free, while entry to the statue itself with the observation terrace costs a small ticket. Save money by taking a taxi rather than a guide, and buy water and snacks from the local stalls instead of the souvenir shops.

O

Rýchle fakty: Panna vysoká 45 metrov z hliníka váži približne 300 ton, čo sa rovná asi 40 ťažkým slonom, a stojí na zemeguli s drakom pod nohami. Vrch sa týči takmer 3 016 metrov nad morom a za jasného dňa vidíte až k sopkám ďaleko na obzore.

Zaujímavosti: Málokto vie, že má krídla, a tak je jednou z mála okrídlených madon na svete, a na podstavci drví hada o zemeguľu. Vrch kedysi slúžil ako posvätné miesto slnka Inkov, takže stáročia histórie ležia doslova pod podrážkami vašich topánok, keď tam hore stojíte.

Insiderské tipy

Take the taxi all the way up, as the walk is steep and the neighborhood at the foot can feel unsafe, especially after sunset.
Go inside the statue and up the stairs, the view from the wing level beats everything you see from the square below.
Bring a light jacket, the wind at the top can pick up unexpectedly strong.
Come on a cloudless day, preferably a weekday, when local families on weekends flock to the stalls.
