The farm features the Cerro de la Cruz, offering the best panoramic views of the El Barrero region. It is the highest point of the farm and one of its main attractions. The name comes from the imposing cross that stands at its summit, visible in the surrounding area. This hill is known for the pilgrimages during Holy Week and for the Day of the Cross (September 14). Historically, it was part of the route to Cerro Petengue, where initiation rituals for young indigenous people were held. The youths had to overcome great dangers to reach its summit and light bonfires as a sign of their success, indicating that they were ready for their adult life.
