Experiences that transform the soul<\/span> and develop the local<\/h1>","description":"Sustainable tourism vibrates in harmony and in perfect balance with the biological biodiversity, culture and identity of a people and at the same time achieves a positive impact on the community. As part of the month of the Environment, Uruguay proposes a journey through four experiences that will thrill you.","info":"Over the last few decades, tourism has become one of the main drivers of the world economy, playing a fundamental role in the socioeconomic development of countries, generating income, creating companies and jobs, and developing infrastructure. At the same time, the trend of community and sustainable tourism is gradually growing in Uruguay.\r\n\r\nThe paradigm of sustainable tourism is a strategic line that Uruguay is building on a daily basis, in line with the principles enshrined in the so-called \"Sustainable Tourism Charter\" of 1995, agreed upon at the World Conference on Sustainable Tourism, with the participation of members of various United Nations agencies and programs. In its first point it established: \"Tourism development should be based on criteria of sustainability, that is, it should be ecologically sustainable in the long term, economically viable and equitable from an ethical and social perspective for local communities\", a vision that was later ratified and expanded by the World Tourism Organization.\r\n\r\nSustainable tourism is based on a circular flow, on the one hand it allows the tourist to escape from the routine and massification of travel to open up to a world of experiences and adventures. On the other hand, it provides new sources of employment and revalues, cares for and promotes nature, culture, history and identity. In this green economy, everyone benefits. We share some suggestions so you can join us.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Red \u00c1nimas (Maldonado and Lavalleja)<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"Red\r\n\r\nHis proposal invites you to watch the moon rise from the top of the mountains, visit and meet producers, artists and artisans in their homes and workshops in a hill environment, as well as an open-air museum in the sun or walk through the twilight of the mountains. In addition, you can visit places full of history and beauty with guides, technicians and \"baqueanos\". For 7 years this multidisciplinary group, made up of neighbors, professionals, technicians, experts, entrepreneurs, producers, guides, artists, among others, has been committed to Alternative Tourism in Pan de Az\u00facar-Sierra de las \u00c1nimas.\r\n\r\nIt was selected by the Small Grants Program (SGP) in 2017, implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Ministry of Tourism, executed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), with the support of the Civil Society and the University of the Republic in which environmental management and ecotourism projects are trained and empowered. Funding is provided by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Ministries of Tourism and Housing and Land Management of Uruguay.\r\n\r\nContact and meeting point to be arranged: + 598 99 340 958 \/ F: Red Animas<\/a> \/ info.redanimas@gmail.com<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u2022 Tinamb\u00fa Ecolodge - Paso Centuri\u00f3n Tours (Cerro Largo)<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1482\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"900\"]\"Batara Batar\u00e1 Pintado[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIt is a venture that offers guided walks focused on the observation of more than 260 registered birds and recognition of native flora and fauna in the area of Paso Centuri\u00f3n, Sierra de R\u00edos, Rinc\u00f3n de Paiva and La Gloria in the department of Cerro Largo. It has ecological lodging - built with natural materials from the area (wood and earth) - where home-cooked vegetarian meals are prepared. The project, which is supported by the National Agency for Development, uses ecological processes throughout its operation, having dry toilets and composting waste, a wetland for purifying gray water, an organic vegetable garden, and a family apiary from which they obtain honey for the consumption of visitors, and with the wax collected they produce eco-friendly reusable <\/a> packaging.\r\n\r\nThe Protected Landscape Paso Centuri\u00f3n and Sierra de R\u00edos, is a place where several ecosystems are combined, giving rise to a great diversity of environments composed of ravines, riparian forests with characteristics of sub-tropical forest, natural grasslands, wetlands, grasslands, palm groves and espinillares, thus allowing the existence of a huge biodiversity. The area was declared a Protected Landscape by the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP) in 2019, and previously, as a Departmental Reserve by the Departmental Board of Cerro Largo.\r\nThis, along with other ventures such as Las Quitanderas<\/a>, offering horseback riding, hiking, local gastronomy and lodging in homestays or camping, is supported by the PPD-MINTUR for the generation of a new community-based ecotourism offer, carried out by a group of neighbors in the area.\r\n\r\nSee more<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nautical adventure (Montevideo and San Jos\u00e9)<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAt 40 minutes from the capital city of Montevideo to the West at the height of the town Santiago V\u00e1zquez a group of baqueanos have two boats to make nautical strolls by the river Santa Luc\u00eda or Isla del Tigre, in addition to knowing the ravines of Melilla.

There, on Route 109 at kilometer 26, the non-profit civil organization Amb\u00e1 is in charge of the preservation, promotion and awareness of the value of this natural space where it is possible to observe more than 130 species of birds and more than 20 species of mammals. There you can see specimens of guazuvir\u00e1, foxes or tat\u00fa.\r\nThe lucky ones can find different mammals such as the wild cat, pajonal cat or the yaguatirica (also known as margay), a very special feline that lives in the area and has the ability to rotate its hind legs and climb trees as if it were a monkey.\r\nAmong their proposals they offer a two-day expedition for hiking, recognition of native flora, recognition of fauna traces, bird watching, camera traps, night safari, visit to water wells and bush regeneration.\r\n\r\nUruguay has the highest per capita consumption of yerba mate in the world, and many people are interested in learning about its origin and process. Rodrigo Patr\u00f3n, coordinator of the field work and the education program in Amb\u00e1, explained that this is why an innovative itinerary was created: \"The yerba mate trail\". \"There are trees that are more than 100 years old and hiking is done around them, which are 20 meters high and some of them are not reached to hug\". The initiative takes place between one and two days, you learn about the production process, drying of yerba mate and you will take away a mate mate ready to use.\r\n\r\nAnother modality is the \"Amb\u00e1 Experience\" which consists of visiting the Regeneration Center and participating in the tasks of the nursery, species protection, installation of camera traps, as well as participating in courses and workshops on: permaculture, bamboo construction, yerba mate, fauna monitoring, among others, and in the future there will be a Rescue Center where the visitor can attend, care for and then return the animals to nature. They also offer horseback riding for hours or up to 3 days of expedition through a previously agreed circuit.\r\n\r\nContact: info@amba.org.uy<\/a> \/ Mobile phone: + 598 99 980 237\r\nF: ambauruguay\/<\/a>  IG: ambauruguay\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nELECTRIC ROUTE<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nIn Uruguay it is possible to driving electric cars <\/a>, with the peace of mind of finding several recharging points throughout the country.

  • Los inicios:<\/strong> Montevideo fue fundada por el gobernador y capit\u00e1n del R\u00edo del Plata Don Bruno Mauricio de Zabala. El proceso fundacional de la ciudad se inscribe entre 1724 y 1730, per\u00edodo en que comenzaron a arribar los primeros pobladores provenientes de Buenos aires y de las Islas Canarias. En el a\u00f1o 1833 se proyecta el nuevo trazado para la Ciudad Nueva que comienza a ejecutarse plenamente a partir de 1861.A diferencia de la Ciudad Vieja, que estaba amurallada en todo su per\u00edmetro, la Ciudad Nueva se proyecta con calles anchas y arboladas donde se localizaron comercios suntuosos y grandes residencias.<\/li>\\r\\n \\t

Por un extenso trayecto, desde Capurro hasta Carrasco, se extiende la Rambla de Montevideo, que fue concebida como un balc\u00f3n hacia el mar, para un verdadero disfrute de las costas de la ciudad.\\r\\nSus diversos tramos poseen especial belleza, ya que en su recorrido, ya sea a pie, en bicicleta o en auto, adem\u00e1s de hermosas playas es posible apreciar la arquitectura urbana que las rodea. Edificios antiguos y modernos, plazas y espacios deportivos como la pista de patinaje en el Parque Rod\u00f3, la de Skate en Buceo y varios gimnasios al aire libre, se suceden conformando atractivas panor\u00e1micas para el turista.\\r\\nDesde el puerto capitalino, hacia el Este, se suceden las playas m\u00e1s urbanas: Ram\u00edrez, Pocitos, Carrasco, Buceo, Malv\u00edn, en tanto hacia el Oeste, existen otras playas m\u00e1s agrestes y de acceso individual como la Colorada, Punta Espinillo, Punta Yeguas, Zabala o Santa Catarina. Las playas de Montevideo son caracter\u00edsticas por sus finas y blancas arenas y las calmas aguas del R\u00edo de la Plata, as\u00ed como por su seguridad. Adem\u00e1s del servicio de guardavidas, todas las playas habilitadas tienen asegurada la cobertura de salud y el cuidado de los ba\u00f1istas a trav\u00e9s de puestos de primeros auxilios y atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de urgencia y emergencia.
