Piriapolis

Stroll along the Rambla de los Argentinos designed by Francisco Piria, town founder, to experience the beach-front promenade like the locals do. To shop for locally hand-crafted finery and souvenirs, visit the Paseo de la Pasiva. Relax or surf along the beach, people-watch and immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife, or go further afield to the Cerro Pan de Acuzar to hike up Urguguay's third tallest mountain for unmatched views, or for a more leisurely vista, hop on the chair lift at Templo de San Antonio for sweeping views of Piriapolis and its bay. The Munnicipal Park and Castillo Piria Museum offers many activities, as well.
