You can see the cable if you pull on the hood as far as it will go
What you will need to do is go from the bottom up with a sturdy metal rod with a 90 degree bent end and try to release the latch. This will probably take some time as room is scarce. If you are looking from the bottom up, the latch release is towards the middle left of the white plastic coolant reservoir tank. You will need to try to push it towards the drivers side.

Use a flashlight and look in & up through the grille & you may be able to see where the sleeve of the cable runs to the latch. When you look at it, should allow you to figure out which way to pull or pry to get it to release hopefully.

What you should do is spray the latch with pb blaster,556,or wd40.Shut the hood and after a couple of times it should work better also do a visual inspection of the latch and make sure nothing is bent.
