Lavalleja is undoubtedly one of the most attractive places when it comes to Uruguay Natural Tourism, pride of those who were born and raised in this land that nature blessed at its finest.

 

Today, in the XXI century the challenge is to add services, quality and excellent customer care to the proposal of receiving the visitor. The Departmental Government has sought and achieved in coordination with other public and private actors to give this to this land the necessary infrastructure to match the needs of the modern world, knowing that although much remains to be done, it has begun a path of achievement and realization of projects aimed to meet the requirements that the visitor demand upon arrival at our destination.

 

A tour to the historic sites, visiting its most famous hills such as Verdun or Artigas, a stay at the Parque de Vacaciones (Holiday’s Park) or Parque Salus (Salus Park), tourist ranches, a walk through the architecture and development of Vila Serrana with its majestic panoramic,  one family photo session with the unrivaled Salto del Penitente, visiting the Arequita circuit, a stay at the St. Lucia’s  campsite or White Water (Aguas Blancas), lunch or dinner in their restaurants and inns in the context of traditional festivals, it make that, who arrives at Minas, find what comes to look for: rest, relaxation and recreation in one place.

 

There are many projects that keep us mindful to continue on the path of growth, some of them have already been finalized and others are under way as the remodeling of traditional Parque Rodo, accessibility to tourist spots, the proposed restructuring of Plaza Libertad and Micro-Shopping Center and the future Terminal "Sierras" to be built on National Route No. 8. Strategic planning in the short, medium and long term is a reality that can no longer be ignored.

This site has been created to provide all information of tourist attractions and services available in this natural paradise.

In summary, our tourism product is diverse; in the hills you can enjoy rural tourism, adventure, mystical, religious, ecological, traditional festivals, events and culture.

I invite you to browse this site, but most of all I invite you to know this unique, magical and natural place.
