at Casa De Margot. Montevideo, Feb-08
Piriápolis seems like the Costa del
Sol in Spain 75 years ago: a quaint
village on rocky slopes mingling with
white sands, the waves lapping at
your feet as you walk on the beach.
The boardwalk (Rambla in Uruguay)
lined with sidewalk cafes and grand
old hotels from the early 1900s.
A mint condition Model-A Ford with a rumble seat putters down the avenue. It is truly picturesque.
Piriápolis was founded in 1890 by an eccentric visionary and alchemist named Francisco Piria. Piria chose the site because of the
earth’s special energies and magnetic poles.
Today Piriápolis and the surrounding area including Sugar Loaf are famous for their positive energy points, drawing people from
around the world to engage in new age activities: meditation, yoga, and mystical tours. Even non-believers can appreciate a little
positive energy cannot hurt.
Sugar Loaf and Piriápolis are located in the heart of the countries key attractions, and have spectacular access to the country’s
two cosmopolitan cities Montevideo and Punta del Este, as well as, both international airports. Piriápolis is 5 minutes from Sugar
Loaf. Piriápolis offers a wide array of fantastic beaches, activities, historical sites, and museums:
