The Mirador del Cerro de la Cruz it is located in the North-West sector of La Merced, about 2 km from the city center. In mototaxi it takes only 10 minutes to reach the top and half an hour on foot. From the top you can see the whole city of La Merced and the beautiful flow of the Chanchamayo River. Around the top there are some benches to rest and have their own snack and a few meters before reaching the mirador there is also a country restaurant. A stairway leads to the top of the hill, where a cross stands, built with the support of Catholics from the valley of Chanchamayo on the centenary of the foundation of the city, inaugurated on September 24, 1989. Although a sign indicates that it is a religious area, in reality the large square is a destination for hikers of various kinds and is used as a refreshment and entertainment point.
