This part of the city is a very touristic place, since it is one of the largest Christs in the world.

A tour around the monument and its surroundings can last up to 3 hours, depending on whether you go on foot or in a vehicle.

Would it be a walking tour or a bus tour?

You can go up to the Christ of Concord on foot but if you want to get there faster you can use the cable car or also a bus

To climb to the top of San Pedro Hill, there are three options:

By car, along a road that winds through the San Pedro mountain range called Av. De la Concordia. Taxis depart from La Autonomia park that run along the road to the car park that is a few meters from the top.
Using the Cable Car, a work that is the pride of the people of Cochabamba, allows you to go up and down the top of San Pedro in a few minutes. Part of the Autonomy Park to the top.
On foot, through the more than 1000 steps that exist that start from Av. Rubén Darío to the top. If you want to use this route, it is better to do the route going down, unless you are in good physical condition to go up it, so that you have a full view of the city when you go down and you can take advantage of it to take pictures

how long would the tour last?
