Not the best view in town, but maybe worth a visit if you’re looking to get some exercise on a hill climb, or as a quick stop after visiting the Mask Museum.
The viewpoint looks out over the Presa del Obraje reservoir and the countryside to the north. Obraje is the colonial word for a textile workshop, an industry San Miguel was once famous for.
The walk out of town is gentle at first and gets steep near the end. There are benches at the top but no shade, so bring water and a hat.
