Mirador del Sol, Scenic viewpoint in Merlo, Argentina
The observation point stands at 1439 meters above sea level on the western slope of the Comechingones Sierras, overlooking valleys and mountains.
The location became a formal tourist destination following the development of Route 5, which connected Villa de Merlo with regional attractions.
Local residents gather at the viewpoint to celebrate traditional festivals and share their regional music, including the cueca cuyana folk songs.
Visitors can access the site by following Route 5 past El Molino stream, with dedicated parking areas and information signs along the path.
The location serves as a base for multiple outdoor activities, including paragliding launches that allow people to soar above the Comechingones valley.
