Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great place to take pictures. You can see for miles. There are two shops where you can buy souvenirs or get something to drink. The Chapel on San Antonio is located there.

The only one of the hills of Piriapolis where you can actually drive your car to the top, otherwise you can choose to walk up your way on the stairs or a ride on the cable chairs. Parking at the top is free, there's a restaurant, a couple of places to get snacks and drinks, a chapel and some very ugly TV, radio and telephone network anthennas. The lovely views extend over Piriapolis to one side and Punta Fría, San Francisco and Punta Colorada on the other.

It has a very good viewpoint to see almost the entire city, but that's basically it. The little church is also beautiful.
There is a snack bar where I found everything expensive and with poor service.
It's very easy to get there by car. You can also go by cable car, but it depends on the day and wind conditions.

Unfortunately the cable car/chair lift is no longer operating and appears not to have been operating for some time. So must drive or walk up to the top. Once there there are great views toward Punta del Este and the Piriapolis area. There are a few souvenir vendors and a restaurant — not much else other than the views.

It is the perfect place to take a picture of Piriapolis, beautiful views, but there is no toilet, so take care of your business before you go up there.

Take the chair lift from the marina to the top of the hill for a fun way to see the views! The drive is good too as you wind around the hill to see views inland as well as the ocean. From the top you can see from Montevideo to Punta Del Este.

Cuántos klms son para subir hasta la cima Caminando? Cuando pregunto siempre me dicen la altura 😞
Written 16 April 2022
No te cobran nada es a puro esfuerzo pero vale la pena el ejercicio y la vista que tienes desde la cima.
Written 25 December 2018
Si, te recomiendo ir. La vista es excepcional en todo el recorrido. El precio es menos de 10 dólares (ida y vuelta) En la cima del cerro hay un parador con piscina (chica) pero es un lugar tranqui y puedes disfrutar la vista. También está el templete a San Cono (dicen que puedes pedir pareja) tienes que dar 3 vueltas en el sentido de las agujas del reloj si quieres conseguir pareja y si quieres terminar, 3 vueltas en el sentido contrario....Hay lugares de venta de recuerdos y un pequeño puesto de las tradicionales torta fritas que comemos los uruguayos, por lo general los días de lluvia. Es solo harina, agua y se cocinan en grasa animal.Suerte con el paseo.

voy a estar por la playa centrica de piriapolis donde queda este bello lugar?gracias desde ya!
Written 3 January 2018
Estimada
el tema es tu edad
si eres joven es hermoso hacerlo a pie, disfrutando del paisaje, de la Virgen del Mar y su monumento y plaza y descansar
si eres mas "adulto" o no estàs en buenas condiciones fìsicas, te sugiero lo hagas en auto
el tamaño del mismo, destaca en la ciudad, por ende no tendràs problema para ubicarlo
Es una construcciòn en un cerro con restaurantes y venta de artesanìas, la belleza està en la vista de Piriàpolis y del Rìo de la Plata
vale la pena lo hagas, en cualquiera de las opciones, personalmente me gusta mas cercano al atardecer para ver el caer el sol desde allì

Bom dia! acho que funciona de segunda até sábado ou domingo também e se não me lembro má funciona o ano todo. São poucos os casos que esteja parado, mais pode acontecer. Mais tem gente permanente aí é só falar acho. Quanto mais no verão aí, melhor. Sorte 🍀
