View from the slopes of Cerro San Cristobal in SW direction to the bullfight arena of Acho, the oldest of its kind in South America. It goes back to 1766 and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991. Its seating capacity is almost 14,000. After some legal dispute, this arena has seen bullfighting events again in 2022.
