Posada Valle Eden – Former Pulperia de Lopez
Built in stone and mud in the seventeenth century, it is a picturesque vestige of the old “pulperías” where all kinds of articles were sold. Today it is used as lodging for visitors.
Cave of the Goat
Less than a kilometer from the Posada and the Museum, begins the ascent to the Cueva del Chivo, at the top of which, in addition to a wonderful view, there is a waterfall and behind it a small cave. It is quite easy to climb, as it is not very high and offers no major difficulties.
The kettles
The rock formation born by water erosion is located about 6 kilometers east of the Valle Eden Train Station. The stones seem to be carved, they change the course of the water and generate curious concave forms.
Pozo Hondo
Located between Valle Eden and Tambores, it is one of the most hidden and surprising places in Uruguay. It is a waterfall of 15 meters, caused by rain and by the slopes with which the lagoon is formed. Inside the crevice, the waters are deep and icy, but the current is gentle and very enjoyable.
Museo Carlos Gardel
In Tacuarembó there is no doubt: Gardel is Uruguayan. It is said that the most skeptical people about the magician’s Uruguayan nationality arrive at the artist’s museum, but they leave convinced of the contrary. The museum houses documentation proving the artist’s nationality, a large collection of photos, including those of his films and family members, and various personal objects.
