Cerro Pan de Azúcar, Mountain summit in Piriápolis, Uruguay
The mountain reaches an elevation of 423 meters, featuring a concrete cross at its peak and natural granite formations along its slopes.
Francisco Piria established a granite quarry on the mountain in 1890, employing 500 workers for the construction of the neighboring resort town.
The 35-meter cross, constructed in 1933 by sculptor José Luis Zorrilla de San Martín, stands as a regional symbol with an internal staircase.
Visitors should begin their ascent before 3:00 PM and carry one liter of water per person while following the marked yellow arrow trail.
The eastern base houses a conservation center dedicated to endangered species, including the largest population of field deer in the world.
