Resembling a scaled-down version of Rio's famous monument, this towering Christ statue atop Cerro las Cristales affords panoramic views of Cali. At the top you'll find a bunch of stands selling juices, snacks and ice creams. A round-trip taxi up here should cost around COP$50,000. Walking to the monument is not recommended as security along the remote road can be an issue.
