Audio Guide of New Australia's Cross Hill

Cross Hill in New Australia is an open-air site, so you can visit during the day, preferably in daylight. To get there, you can search for it on Google Maps, as it is a well-known local attraction in the New Australia area, Caaguazú. View on Google Maps

Good news! Visiting Cross Hill is completely free. It is a public place intended for leisure and reflection, accessible to everyone at no cost.

I recommend setting aside between 1 and 2 hours to fully enjoy the hill. That gives you enough time to climb up, take in the views, snap some photos, and perhaps spend a little time reflecting at the top.

Cross Hill is a cultural and religious landmark for the local community. The cross at the top symbolizes faith and is often a place of pilgrimage or meditation, offering a peaceful setting and panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Sunset is without a doubt the most magical time to visit Cross Hill, with its vibrant colors. During the year, the months with milder weather—outside the extreme heat of the Paraguayan summer—will make the climb and the views even more enjoyable.

Because it is a natural hill and the path up can be uneven and steep in some sections, access for people with reduced mobility or wheelchairs may be difficult. We recommend assessing the situation on site or contacting the local municipality for more detailed information if you have any doubts.

New Australia is a charming rural area. You can explore local farms, try regional cuisine at a nearby eatery, or simply enjoy the countryside landscape surrounding the hill. Ask the locals—they always have the best recommendations!

Absolutely! I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, bringing water to stay hydrated, and taking a camera to capture the spectacular views. If you go at sunset, do not forget insect repellent, and most importantly, enjoy the peace and beauty of the place!
