Located along the riverfront in Neiva, Monumento mohan is a tribute to local folklore that provides visitors with one of the best vantage points in the city. For a small entry fee, you can climb to the top to enjoy a fantastic 360-degree view of the Huila region and the Magdalena River area. While the monument itself is a beautiful piece of art, the surrounding boardwalk and infrastructure have seen better days, with many visitors noting a lack of maintenance and security. It is a popular spot for a quick stop to take photos, especially with the help of local vendors, but it is best visited during daylight hours and in groups to ensure a safe experience.

Monumento mohan in Neiva receives mixed feedback, primarily praised for its unparalleled and fantastic views from the top. Visitors appreciate the monument's aesthetic and the helpfulness of local ice cream vendors who often assist with photography. However, many reviewers express significant concerns regarding the lack of maintenance and security in the surrounding boardwalk area. There are reports of the area feeling unsafe due to a lack of police presence and the presence of individuals using drugs nearby. One visitor shared a distressing experience of being accidentally locked inside the monument gates after hours due to a lack of posted information. Consequently, while the view is highly recommended, travelers are advised to visit in groups and remain vigilant.
