Visitors can take part in the most representative activities of Uruguayan farming and folklore, in addition to enjoying boating, horseback riding, and mountain biking, among other delightful options.\r\nLocal businesses, together with the Municipality, have made significant efforts to offer better alternatives in terms of price and quality, leaving no excuses for missing out on these experiences.\r\nDespite being the youngest and one of the smallest departments in Uruguay, the lands of Flores are rich in ancient legends and great archaeological and geological treasures still waiting to be discovered. Flores is home to Palacio Grotto Geopark. Come discover this magical bridge between nature, community, and science.
