Cerro Uritorco is a mountain (cerro) and the highest peak (1,979 metres elevation) of the Sierras Chicas chain in the northwest of the province of Córdoba, Argentina. It is located next to the Calabalumba River, 1.9 miles (ca. 3 km) from the center of the city of Capilla del Monte, and its summit is at 1,949 m (ca. 6,394 ft) above mean sea level. The name Uritu urqu means "Male Hill" in Santiago del Estero Quichua, which is, however, not the aboriginal Comechingón language.
Uritorco is under private administration and can be accessed by the public for a small fee. It is considered a medium-difficulty ascent, taking around three hours to reach the top, provided the appropriate hiking path is followed.
