Cerro San Antonio, a prominent hill in Piriápolis, Uruguay, is a highly accessible tourist spot offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, coastline, and surrounding landscape. Visitors can reach the summit by car via a paved road, by foot along a scenic winding path, or enjoy a unique experience on the chairlift (aerosilla), making it suitable for all mobility levels. While easily explored solo, no guided visit is typically required as the main attraction is the view and the small chapel at the top. The site is generally open year-round, though the chairlift operates seasonally and with specific hours; the best time to visit for pleasant weather is during Uruguay's spring and summer (October to April). Access to the hill itself is free, with costs primarily associated with the chairlift ride (approximately $10-15 USD round trip) and any purchases at the summit's cafes or souvenir shops. A typical visit duration is about 1 to 2 hours, allowing ample time to enjoy the vistas, visit the Capilla San Antonio, and perhaps have a coffee, making it an ideal stop for stunning photo opportunities, especially at sunset.
