#4 of 17 in Things to do in Salto

Religious Site Tourist Spot

Revered by local Catholics, Gruta del Padre Pio serves as a major destination for both religious and non-religious visitors to Uruguay. A sculpture created by Argentine artists in the 1980s remains the main feature of the grotto, situated within a privately owned ranch. Bring some cash to pay the entrance fee required to visit the cave and see the famous sculpture. Our Salto itinerary maker makes visiting Gruta del Padre Pio and other Salto attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
