Experience the Grandeur of Cristo de La Misericordia

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of San Juan del Sur, head south on the main road (Calle del Sol) towards the beach. Continue walking until you reach the beach area. Once at the beach, turn left and walk along the shoreline until you see the large statue of Cristo de La Misericordia on the hill. It's a prominent landmark, so you can't miss it. To get closer to the statue, you will need to walk back up the hill towards the entrance path that leads to the statue. Follow the path up the hill, and keep an eye out for the signs directing you to Cristo de La Misericordia.

• Hiking

  For a more adventurous approach, you can hike up to Cristo de La Misericordia. Start from the main square in San Juan del Sur and head towards the direction of the beach. Look for signs or locals that can guide you to the trailhead for the hike. The trail is well-trodden and will take you directly to the statue. The hike will take approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on your pace, and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area as you ascend.

• Tuk-tuk

  If you prefer a quicker option, consider taking a tuk-tuk (a local motorized taxi) from your location in San Juan del Sur. Simply tell the driver 'Cristo de La Misericordia' or show them a map with the destination marked (you can find the location's coordinates: 11.2619448, -85.8817665). The drivers are familiar with the area and will take you to the entrance of the path leading up to the statue. The ride should take about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic.
