Beautiful and incredibly cute. I personally have many really nice memories of this place. As I love viewpoints – as mentioned in several other posts – I knew from day 1 that I absolutely had to go up to this viewpoint.
Interestingly, the path up to it leads through winding alleyways and I’ll be honest – I followed other people the first time. It’s not like super easy to find the viewpoint if you don’t find the right entrance or take a wrong turn along the way (although there aren’t too many turning options on the way up).
When I reached the top, it was clear within milliseconds that I had just arrived at my favourite place in Guanajuato. The view of Guanajuato from up there is seriously amazing. And to the left of/next to the viewpoint there is a café built up in steps, from where the view certainly as well is pretty good.
Apart from that, the platform itself is large, but not huge and there are steps leading down to the platform when you arrive, where you can chill later once you’ve enjoyed the view. Because…. There is always something going on up there. There are always people – at really any time of day or night – and there’s always a good atmosphere. Whether it’s people playing music or others who have a speaker with them, people who have previously worked in the nightlife or evenings in Guanajuato and now want to enjoy the flair, or people who run up to the Pipila after partying to watch the sunrise. Because yes, sunset, night, sunrise and of course during the day – the Pipila is a amazing at any time. Both in terms of the vibe and the view.
I once went up there myself with one of my best Mexican friends after partying for the sunrise and it was simply magical. A really special place in a special little student town.

Go or not? To be honest, the question is oblivious. Like you can chose to not got up, but that‘s on you then 😀
