San Cristobal Hill, the highest point in Santiago City, is located northeast of the city, the end of a small branch of the Andes Mountains. The colonial name was San Cristobal, the patron saint of travelers, meaning that the mountain can guide those who travel to San Diego to their destination. There is a tall statue of the Virgin Mary that guards San Diego. You can take a cable car or hike up and down the mountain, which is the best place to see the panoramic view of San Diego city
