Punta Cometa

Reviewed By Natasha0606 - Marburg, Germany

It's a small hike up to a marvelous sunset point. Well worth the climb. The scenery is a dream and sometimes there are people up there plying music. A definite plus.

Mirado La Bufa

Reviewed By TPaul548 - Winnipeg, Canada

We rented 4-wheelers from Tour-SSO (next door to the restaurant El General. The owner, Julian, and the guide (his son), Carlos, were great. It cost us $1,500 pesos. The ride up is about 40 minutes. Once there, you have a challenging 10 minute hike to the lookout area. The views are spectacular! On the way down, we stopped briefly at Real Alto to visit a 500 year old church. We left town at 11:00 and wore only shorts and T-shirt. We were fine. The trail is really dusty. This was a highlight of our visit to San Sebastián and would definitely recommend it.

This high hill, also called "El Mirador," offers a splendid view of the town below.

An minor interruption of the Boardwalk, but a heck of a climb up the street. Lots of history and old houses with great views.

Santiago Peninsula

These dramatic hilly slopes are home to Las Hadas, known as a "fantasy land."

Reviewed By parrottdize - Dyer, United States

This overlook was part of a cruise ship excursion. Very picturesque......made one wish to see more of that beach and resort. Wish we could have gone into the resort: from the outside it looked very nice with the all white buildings.

The beautiful mountain overlooking Zacatecas, complete with a cable car for tourists.

Reviewed By lesjmejia

Amazing views! Breath taking! Great place to take some great pictures of the town. The only little thing the air is very thin due to the altitude so it can be difficult for some people to breath.
