'''Cerro de las Ánimas''' ("Hill of the Souls", formerly known as ''Mirador Nacional'') is a peak and the second highest point of [[Uruguay]], with an altitude of 501&nbsp;metres (1,643.7&nbsp;ft).
==Location and features==
It is located to the southwest of the [[Maldonado Department]], in the municipality of [[Piriápolis]], in a similarly named range of hills which is 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 (Uruguay)|Cerro Catedral]], currently considered the highest point of the country, with an altitude of 513.66 metres (1,685.24 feet).
