EL CRISTO DEL PICACHO
Natural site to discover
Read moreAt 1 327 m above sea level, a statue of Christ 32 metres high stands at the top of Mount Picacho. Superb panoramic view of the city. The strange geographical situation in Tegucigalpa is better understood: it is not a valley but a "hole", the hills having been ironed out in the ephemeral quest for money.
The statue of Christ is the work of the Honduran sculptor Mario Zamora Alcántara and was inaugurated in 1997.
