The most beautiful place in Uruguay. I saw deer, southern screamers, rheas, foxes, armadillos, and wildcats, and it makes me happy that they aren't hunted and live in peace. The mountains, played in shadows and light, look even larger, their green forests standing out. The wind sings, and you carry red earth on your clothes and the soles of your shoes. I only brought back photographs and memories to treasure this beautiful Uruguayan landscape.
