Cerro Catedral, Mountain summit in Maldonado Department, Uruguay
The granite peak of Cerro Catedral rises to 513.66 meters above sea level, featuring distinctive rock formations at its uppermost section.
Scientific measurements in 1973 by the Military Geographic Service confirmed Cerro Catedral as the highest elevation point in Uruguay, surpassing Cerro de las Ánimas.
The mountain stands as a natural boundary between Maldonado and Lavalleja departments, marked by a geodetic point at its peak.
Visitors can access the mountain through the Las Cañas region, with the José Ignacio Stream flowing south and Coronilla Stream running northwest from its base.
The mountain's surface above 400 meters presents sparse vegetation, with Myrtus ugni plants growing among the ancient Precambrian rock formations.
