Location and features
It is located southwest of Maldonado Department, in the municipality of Piriápolis, in a range of hills named Sierra de las Ánimas.
Changing height calculations
Until 1973, this hill was considered the highest point of Uruguay. However, in that year, a group of scientists of the Servicio Geográfico Militar (Military Geographic Service) changed the measure of the Cerro Catedral, currently considered the highest point of the country, with an altitude of 513.66 metres (1,685.24 feet).
