Lavalleja, Minas, Ombú-Forest

Camping de los cuervos


We were quite motivated by our friends in Piriapolis to abandon our campo for two days and to join them there. Not only Piriapolis is worth seeing, we also went  to see mystical and really magical places such as the camping "Laguna de los Cuervos". This place is absolutely fascinating. I'm happy that I know the place. It won't be the last time I have been there.

Ombú-Forest, Lavalleja


There are only two Ombú florests in Uruguay — one in Lavalleja and one in Rocha. They reach a height of about 50 feet, and they can live as long as 500 years.

Paraíso Suizo

After visiting Swiss friends in Piriapolis, we passed Paraiso Suizo just at the moment when we went out of gas. We drove through in order to ask for the next gas station, when we met a friendly and cheerful woman who invited us for a coffee. So we could chat about this place and it was just a very nice encounter. Of course, they explained the way to the next gas station in Gregorio Aznárez.
