A short climb breaks the hotel-line skyline and opens into a raw, highland room: wind across grass, a ring of peaks, and below the patchwork of fields and red-roofed towns. The tour rises roughly 1,000 feet to a natural viewpoint that delivers a full 360° panorama — sea-pressure light to the east, the darker folds of the Cordillera Central to the west — while coffee trees and scrub brush frame the walk.
