The 'Sentinel Stone' is a granite rock formation that stood upright on the hill for thousands of years, becoming an iconic symbol of Tandil. Although the original fell in 1912, a replica was erected in its place in 2007. Its name comes from the popular belief that it 'watches over' the city.

Sunset offers spectacular views and is a very popular time to visit. During the year, spring and autumn are ideal because of their pleasant temperatures and the beauty of the landscape. Avoid the middle hours of very hot summer days.

Access to the base of the hill and the restaurant area is relatively accessible. However, the path to the summit and the trail around the Sentinel Stone includes rocky paths and stairs, which can make access difficult for wheelchairs or strollers. It is advisable to assess the difficulty personally.
