The hill can be seen from most places in down town Santiago and is an impresive land mark. At the top is located a statue of the Virgin Mary along with a hidden church and outside ampitheatre type area. The sumit can be reached by a number of ways. A funicular railway built by the monks over a hundread years ago, goes to the top of the hill or else a two stage teleferico reaches the top. The hill is a national park and has numerous attractions such as a public swimming pool, restaurants, zoological center and craft shops. At the weekend it is very common to see people running, cycling and walking up the road to the top of the hill.
