Things to do in Piriápolis
Climb Cerro Pan de Azúcar
Cerro Pan de Azúcar is the third highest point in Uruguay (423m). On the way up, you can see the autochthonous vegetation 🌿 and enjoy the beautiful sights 🏖 of Maldonado. On its summit, there is a 35m tall cross with a spiral staircase leading to the horizontal part of the cross, which offers a view of the area through small openings 🗻. The trail is short (1km) but quite stiff. For this reason, everyone is required to have shoes and at least 1 litre of water. The trail is open fro hiking from 8:00 to 15:00.
