Cerro San Antonio, Scenic viewpoint in Piriapolis, Uruguay.
The 130-meter hill features a chair lift system that transports visitors to the summit, offering clear views of the Uruguayan coastline and Piriapolis city.
The hill became a tourism destination during the development of Piriapolis in 1890, when Francisco Piria established the coastal resort town.
The summit houses a temple dedicated to San Antonio, containing a sacred image transported from Milan, which draws numerous religious visitors.
Visitors can reach the summit through three different methods: walking up the marked trails, driving along the paved road, or taking the chair lift.
The geological formation belongs to the Sierra de las Ánimas mountain range and provides views extending from the Rio de la Plata to the Atlantic Ocean.
