Uritorco, Mountain summit in Capilla del Monte, Argentina.
The Uritorco peak rises to 1,949 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in the Sierras Chicas mountain range of Córdoba.
The mountain's name derives from Santiago del Estero Quichua language, where 'Uritu urqu' translates to 'Male Hill' in the regional dialect.
Local residents integrate the mountain into their traditions through ceremonies and gatherings at the summit, reflecting regional spiritual practices.
The ascent to the summit requires approximately three hours of hiking on marked trails, with an entrance fee required for access.
The mountain gained international attention when it closed on December 21, 2012, due to concerns about mass gatherings related to apocalyptic predictions.
