This charming café is an ideal spot for both locals and travelers seeking a serene escape with stunning views. Positioned on the 4th floor of a bustling city street, Cerro offers an expansive vista of the urban landscape that is especially enchanting in the evenings.
As you step into the café, you are greeted by a modern and spacious interior, adorned with minimalist decor that creates a welcoming and refreshing ambiance. It's a place to unwind, especially on warm summer nights, where you can relish delightful refreshments under the soft glow of the city lights.
