Cerro de las Noas: An Icon of Torreón

 If there's one place that defines Torreón’s landscape, it's the Cerro de las Noas. This iconic hill not only offers a breathtaking view of the city but is also a site of great cultural and religious significance.

One of the main attractions of the hill is the Christ of the Noas, a 21.8-meter-tall statue located at the summit. It is one of the largest statues of Christ in Latin America and has become a symbol of Torreón.

But why is it called "Cerro de las Noas"? The name comes from a plant called noa, a type of cactus that grows in the region and was used by ancient inhabitants.

The hill is also a popular destination for those looking for a panoramic view of the city. From the top, you can see Torreón, Gómez Palacio, and Lerdo, offering an unmatched landscape—especially at sunset.

If you visit Torreón, climbing Cerro de las Noas is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Not only will you see an emblematic place, but you’ll also enjoy one of the best views in the region.

  Throughout history, humanity has shown an incredible ability to create, innovate, and overcome challenges that once seemed impossible. From monumental constructions to technological advances that have changed the way we live, there are countless examples of human ingenuity. One of the most impressive achievements is the construction of the  Egyptian pyramids . With only rudimentary tools and no modern technology, the ancient Egyptians managed to build massive structures that have stood the test of time for thousands of years. Even today, scientists continue to debate the exact methods they used to move and place multi-ton stone blocks with such precision. But we haven’t just conquered the Earth we explored beyond it. In 1969,  Apollo 11  took the first humans to the Moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin marked a turning point in the history of space exploration, proving that our desire to discover knows no bounds. Now, with missions to Mars and plans to colonize oth...
