You step into a warm, humid evening as the cable car lifts you 500 meters up the green flank of Cerro del Santísimo. Rainforest canopy slides beneath the windows, and the city lights of Bucaramanga begin to pulse like a low constellation. At the summit a near-life-size Christ statue crowns the ridge; the platform and an elevator behind the figure make the viewpoint unusually accessible for a hilltop lookout.
