A little-known viewpoint with spectacular views of the city, featuring community art and meeting spaces. A project brought to you by local cultural organizations. Quiet and safe for visitors.

An enriching stop to learn about Mayan history and traditional textiles in a modern, safe environment with well-kept gardens.
