Things to see and do Piriapolis

The beaches of Piriápolis extend over nearly 25 kilometers of coastline. Heading west, you will find some of the most pleasant beaches for swimming (from Playas Grande to Playa Solis), often protected from the wind. To the east of the city, you can walk to Playa San Francisco and its Punta Fría, Playa Punta Colorada, Punta Negra with beautiful landscapes of rocks and nature.

Playa del Centro: Along the rambla, it is one of the most popular, because it combines proximity, amenities, water sports, shopping and bathing.

Playa Grande, which paradoxically is quite small, has naturally formed pools between its rocks, ideal for swimming and diving.

Playa Hermosa with its fine white sand, thanks to its orientation, is protected from the evening wind. Some hamburger and ice cream stands in the afternoon.

Playa Verde, 5 km from the city, is a haven of tranquility; half sand, half rocks, it is surrounded by mountains. Remember to bring your lunch and bottled water, as there are no shopping areas or restaurants in the area.

Playa de las Flores (at km 89 of Ruta 10) extends from Arroyo Las Flores to Arroyo Tarariras. It is a family-friendly, quiet place where you can also fish.

Playa Bella Vista is quiet, bordered by nature, small pebbles and sandy gullies. Less pleasant for swimming, unless you bring beach shoes.

Playa Solís, to finish on the west side, discover peace and fishing on the Arroyo of the same name.

This park for relaxation and picnic deserves a visit, if only for its 5-metre high waterfall.

This hill rises 250 meters above sea level. It is possible to climb to the top of the hill, but part of it can only be done on foot. On the way, we will stop at the Fuente del Toro, a mineral spring dominated by a statue of a bull that is said to be the work of a student of Rodin. These springs are said to have therapeutic properties! Then, you take the stairs dug in the rock to reach the top, where a superb panoramic view awaits you. The path is marked by arrows on the rocks.
