Uritorco

Two people standing on Cerro Uritorco, a mountain and highest peak of the Sierras Chicas chain in the northwest of the province of Cardoba, Argentina.

The highest mountain of the Sierras Chicas, at 1950m, Uritorco is the main reason people come to Capilla del Monte. No matter what it is that draws them in – UFO sightings, energy vortexes or ancient vibes of the indigenous Comechingones tribe that once roamed these lands – Uritorco is a magnet for people from around the world. The 5km hike to the top affords spectacular views.
