Mirador desde el Cristo Blanco
Eight-meter white statue of Christ with outstretched arms, gifted by a grateful refugee community, overlooking the whole valley.
This guide to the Mirador desde el Cristo Blanco in Cusco asks who pays for an eight-meter monument out of pure gratitude, then answers with a community of Christian Arab families who fled Palestine, settled in Cusco by way of Argentina, and wanted to repay the city that took them in. You will hear about the sculptor they hired, the San Blas craftsmen who helped him build it, and why they timed the first stone to an ancient Inca sun festival on a hill the Inca themselves once called sacred. Look past the outstretched arms to the red rooftops and the Plaza de Armas spread below.
