Climbing its more than 900 steps is an experience that combines exercise, spiritual connection and breathtaking views. From the top, you can see the entire city surrounded by mountains, coffee plantations and a horizon that disappears into the mist. At sunrise or sunset, the scene is simply spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-there\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-there\"><\/span><strong>How to get there<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hill is just a few minutes from the centre of Jinotega. The trail is signposted and has concrete steps and rest areas along the way. The walk can take between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on your pace. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothing, sports shoes, sunscreen and water. It is also a good idea to start the ascent early to avoid the midday heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"357\" height=\"500\" data-attachment-id=\"33000\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-see-in-jinotega\/attachment\/things-to-see-in-jinotega\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?fit=357%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"357,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"things to see in Jinotega\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?fit=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?fit=357%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?resize=357%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to see in Jinotega\" class=\"wp-image-33000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?w=357&amp;ssl=1 357w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/things-to-see-in-Jinotega.png?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"357\" height=\"500\" data-attachment-id=\"33001\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-see-in-jinotega\/attachment\/cerro-de-la-cruz-nicaragua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?fit=357%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"357,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cerro De La Cruz Nicaragua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?fit=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?fit=357%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?resize=357%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?w=357&amp;ssl=1 357w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cerro-De-La-Cruz-Nicaragua.png?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interesting-facts-about-the-place\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting-facts-about-the-place\"><\/span><strong>Interesting facts about the place<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The large white cross that crowns the summit was placed there by the Catholic community more than 50 years ago.
