• Fine view, although Lima's perennial fog makes it impossible to see far.
• Bus ride is dangerous.

“Be wary of taking the "Urbanito" bus to the top of the Cerro San Cristobal. The heavily loaded bus struggled to get up the steep street approach to the hill and caused me to worry if the brakes were in good condition. Buses in Peru are notorious for their poor maintenance and this bus did not appear to be better maintained than any other bus in Lima. 557 people died in bus accidents in the 12-month period ending July 2005. If you don't want to risk becoming part of a similar statistic I suggest you take good taxi if you want to visit the top of this hill.”
