It took around an hour to climb up and then 30 minutes to get down. The views are lovely and there is lots to do up there. There are picnic tables, view points, swings, football nets. You can get the chicken bus there from Antigua for 10Q or an uber is around 90/100Q.

Nice walk of abt 1h to the top, you could see antigua and lake amatitlan, but not today, we are covered by grey clouds, still cool and recommend.
Bring hiking shoes, the pat is rough.
