About this tour

After being picked up from your hotel in downtown Punta del Este, we will take Route 10, passing through Punta Ballena, for a 45-minute drive. Upon arriving in Piriápolis, we will encounter the Sculpture Trilogy by the artist Don Francisco Piria. We will begin on Avenida 25 de Mayo, where we will see the beautiful Fountain of Venus, built in marble, a classical work from the Greek temple, surrounded by gardens, a children's park and other small sculptures that delight the eye. We will continue towards the Historical Monument Cerro del Toro, the second fountain by the creator Piria, made of iron and located 250 meters above sea level. To see the next fountain, we will climb to the top of Cerro San Antonio, which offers a spectacular panoramic view, where you can take photos and admire Piria's third fountain, completing the trilogy: the famous Virgen Stella Maris. The descent can be made by chairlift (not included).

We will continue along the Piriápolis Promenade from the Port to Punta Colorada, taking the opportunity to visit Parque la Cascada and the Museo de la Fauna Castillo, formerly Don Piria's residence.
