The viewpoint above the upper town gives a clear sense of Boaco's geography — the city spread down its hill, the broad valley of cattle country beyond, and the hills of the Nicaraguan highlands receding in every direction. On a clear morning, the view is genuinely rewarding and the air is noticeably cooler than in the streets below.
It is an easy walk up from the central park. Go in the morning or late afternoon — midday heat makes the walk uncomfortable, and the light is better for the view at either end of the day.
