Durazno, Uruguay
Durazno - Uruguay
The capital, and the department as a whole, both have a rich tradition of recreational fishing that takes place throughout the year, both in the Yí and Negro Rivers and large streams and in the lakes Rincón del Bonete and Baygorria.
Attractions in Durazno include the Hispanidad Park, located a few kilometers from the city and where the most important events in the region take place, such as the Folklore Festival and the ‘Meeting of the Gauchos’. Durazno also hosts the first “llamadas of the countryside”, where the whole city vibrates with the beat of the drums.
In the capital Durazno, tourists cannot miss the church of San Pedro Parish which, after suffering a fire, was reformed and is now considered an architectural gem due to its style which was both modern and advanced for its time.
