Who was the one who gave his first performance at the Solís Theater (Montevideo), what is the story of the Graf Spee that landed at the Port of Montevideo, or simply visit the Ralli Museum and the living work of Casapueblo (Maldonado) or learn the secrets of winemaking are just some of the experiences that you can live in Uruguay Natural.
When a tourist initiative appeals to your five senses, it becomes unforgettable. That is what happens with the bicycle, besides touring the cities without polluting, it exercises the sight with the capture of panoramic images. Also the hearing, by requiring attention to your surroundings; the taste, by tasting water or food at different points of the route; the touch, through contact with the bicycle and at each point of the itinerary; and the smell, of course by breathing the pure air of the nature that surrounds us and the typical aromas of the flora in each season of the year. Undoubtedly, the mind and body are exercised by practicing moderate intensity exercise for approximately two hours. But above all, it provides a unique feeling of freedom.
