The Day trip to the Cristo Rey statue from Guanajuato was definitely worth it. However, to this day I still wonder what attracted me to it, because I’m not religious. Personally, I think it was the pictures of the cool view and, to be honest, a bit of time that I had to spare.
It’s relatively easy to get there by bus. Simply take a bus from the bus station in Guanajuato. Once there you find yourself on a hill with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape in front of you. If you look round to the Cristo Rey, you will see an imposing statue of Jesus towering above you – and inside the museum an oversized golden crown of thorns hanging over everything.
Go or not? Yes and no. The view is really cool, but the one from Cerro la Bufa is better. And the Cristo Rey is almost two hours away. Mean, if you don’t have time to spare, there are cooler and closer by views. But if you do still have time, it is an absolutely cool ad-on. 😊
