Damn far from the centre, but really cool and much higher than expected.
Chihuahua is a “big” city in northern Mexico and also the capital of the state with the same name. I passed through Chihuahua on my way from el Chepe and back to central Mexico because much of northwestern Mexico is simply not very well connected. Chihuahua though is a wonderful place to “take off” from.
After seeing the centre, I took the bus to the place I had marked on Maps from where I could walk up to the viewpoint. The bus was a typical slightly rickety Mexican bus and I was one of the few passengers. I admit that I felt a little uneasy when I arrived because there was absolutely no one on the streets, but I just walked straight to the viewpoint and hoped for the best. After all, turning back and returning to the centre wouldn’t have made more sense either. And I indeed arrived at the viewpoint without further ado, walked up the winding road past graffitis and finally reached the top.
The view from up there is different from other Mexican cities because Chihuahua is located in the middle of a desert, which you can see from the landscape, the dryness and also from the fact that there isn’t really much around. So the view wasn’t beautiful in the classic sense, but still pretty cool and impressive.

Go or not? The viewpoint is really far from the centre and you don’t meet many people on the way there or at the viewpoint itself. I’m pretty fearless when it comes to things like these, but I can understand if someone feels uneasy in a situation like that for various reasons. However, if that doesn’t put you off, I would recommend going because it’s the coolest thing in Chihuahua, the view is really good, and I’ve rarely seen such straight and parallel streets from a viewpoint :D😊
