La Mano del Gigante (The Giants Hand) is a gorgeous viewpoint 4855 feet above sea level with incredible views over the Huila Department,including El Quimbo Dam and El Nevado del Huila. The massive hand is a fitting work of art, as the town of Gigante is named after the Cerro Matambo (Matambo Hill), or which resembles a giant’s face lying down.
The hand is part of an exciting unusual tourism project to draw people into the area,with activities such as paragliding available and many others planned. After a gorgeous walk or ride through coffee plantations, you will arrive at the top to drink a cup of freshly roasted, and locally grown coffee and be greeted with some of the most breathtaking views in Colombia.
