Have you ever looked up and felt completely humbled? The Cristo Rey stands proudly atop Cerro de los Cristales, overlooking Cali. The statue, towering 26 meters high, is a testament to the resilience and faith of the Colombian people. This majestic figure, made of iron and concrete, represents a symbol of hope and peace. The Christo Rey was inaugurated in 1953, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of the War of a Thousand Days, a conflict that ravaged the nation. It is a monument that symbolizes a nation’s yearning for peace and unity. The hill’s name, Cerro de los Cristales, is a reminder of the countless quartz crystals that were once found in the surrounding area. A truly remarkable sight, Cristo Rey has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cali and a pilgrimage site for believers. From the base of the hill, you can see Cristo Rey stretching out his arms, almost as if he’s embracing the city of Cali. Ascend the hill yourself and take in the breathtaking views, and if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to catch the stunning sight of the sun setting behind the statue.
