First of all, don’t make the mistake of confusing **hacía** with **hacia**! **Hacia** is one of those words that will change its meaning completely depending on whether it has an accent mark or not.

* **hacia** is a preposition that means “towards” or “to”
* **hacía** is the third person singular form of the verb **hacer** in the imperfect.

The preposition **hacia** can be used:
To express the direction of movement (in which it means towards or to)

**Caminamos hacia la luz.**
We walked towards the light.

To express the roughness of a time estimate (where it can mean around or about)

**Te llamo hacia las tres.**
I’ll call you about three.

Or in the following phrases:
**hacia abajo**
down / downwards

**hacia adelante**
forwards

**hacia arriba**
up / upwards

**hacia atrás**
back / backwards

Take a look at some examples below:
Tenemos que caminar hacia el parque para llegar a la casa de Juan.
(We) have to walk towards the park to go to Juan's house.

Vi a mi hermana caminando rápidamente hacia mí.
(I) saw my sister walking rapidly towards me.

El atleta corría hacia atrás para agarrar la pelota.
