Canelones Uruguay

The city of Canelones Uruguay is also the capital of the Department of Canelones. Having the same name can often mean some confusion for first time travelers since the region is so much larger than the capital city.

Canelones is a welcome respite from the frantic pace of many of the larger South American cities. In the department of Canelones there are even cities that are larger and more populated such as Las Piedras and the Gold Coast.

Here in the capital city is where you will have the opportunity to soak up the culture of Uruguay, take time to enjoy your surroundings and experience a wide range of adventures and activities from shopping to nature walks.

Wine growing is one of the major draws for Canelones and one of the most important Uruguay wineries is Ariano Hnos. This vineyard was begun by Adelio and Amilcar Ariano. The Arianos were brothers who left their homeland of Italy to grow grapes in the lush lands of this Region. Tourists can tour Ariano Hnos today as well as many other similar vineyards.

This southeastern city in Uruguay features a large number of beaches that are located only a short distance away. These shorelines all have their individual charms and activities.

All you need to do is to decide which setting is best suited for you and your family. In Cannelones Uruguay it is the Costa de Oro (Coast of Gold) that attracts large numbers of tourists.
