cerro san antonio

gregsf11

...all the way from Punta del Este. The ride to the top on the rickety ski lift was pretty fun, and the view is grand. We liked it so much we came back for dinner. Might as well have that chivito plate with a side of amazing views watching the sun go down.

Cerro San Antonio allows you to get a panoramic view of Piriapolis. The most interest part I found ever was the ski-lift ride up. The tickets are purchased the five-star restaurant I ate at called Lo de Juan y Cristina. I hope you have the opportunity see this panoramic view of Piriapolis. FYI you must do this before sunset. Happy Travels!!!

From the top of the Cerro San Antonio you can get an unequalled view of the beaches of Piriapolis....a great scenic place for photos. The restaurant at the top, while not inexpensive, has a full menu, and during the summer months operates a swimming pool with poolside meal service. You can reach the summit either by car, or by chair lift which you catch at the foot of the hill near the yacht harbor. Well worth the time if you are in the area!

The chairlift up to the top, although a bit on the worn side, provides a nice view of the area. There is a restaurant on the top, which was closed at the time, but seems to provide a wonderful dinner location.

The Shrine to Saint Anthony is quaint and nice but, the location and views are impossible to beat!Although it is quite a hike or even a car ride to the top of this mountain, the views make it well worth the trek or ride!Lots of food and drink available at the top to reward you for your efforts!If you are up for a bit more exciting way to get to the top, take the "ski lift" style chairlift to the top for additional and progressing views on your way up!

Have been there in winter (August) and spring (November) and if it's a sunny day, a spectacular view. Could see Punta del Este both times. Took the chairlift (a cost) up the first time and drove up the second (free).

Great 360 degree view, nice little shrine to St. Anthony, bars/restaurants, small trail down one side

This hilltop provides great views of the city, the countryside and the seaside but the highlight is the view of the sunset over the water. It is an easy drive up the hill but there is also apparently a way to hike it if you want the exercise. I also saw a couple of people on bikes. But however you get there, arrange your time such that it includes a sunset view. There are a couple of souvenir and convenience shops on the hilltop as well as a restaurant (that apparently only operates full time in season from what I observed...it may have limited hours in the winter). However, make note that restrooms are not so easy to find (you'll have to go into the restaurant or snack bar). But overall, the hill is a great place for photos and a breath of fresh air. If you are in Piriapolis, definitely plan to make the ascent.

The view of the city is amazing. It really worth to take the lift in the end of the day. The sunset view is incredible.

Average because the chair lift taking you up the Cerro is average - nothing wow about it, and the top is also average, you have a view and a small store for some overpriced souvenirs and some snacks.... Not much to do or see other than the view and come down. Nice view though!

We had lunch at the restaurant in the top. If you can try the "Chipirones". It's a very delicious dish in Uruguay and in that restaurant, were the best of Piriapolis!

Although it isn't very high, the view over Piriápolis is excellent.

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.
