Minas and Salto del Penitente,
falls and hills

Salto de Penitente (the Penitent's Waterfall) is located some kilometres away from Minas city, in the department of Lavalleja. It is a 60 meters fall in the rocky hills.

During our tour to Salto del Penitente we will drive about 20 kilometres off of Ruta 8 on a good road in order to arrive up to the fall.

The drive is quite scenic and the falls are amazing. We will stop in a beautiful restaurant which is overlooking the falls, after that we will take a short trail down to the base. Also we will give you free time to do horseback riding, rest meanwhile you enjoy this particular fall located over a rocky background covered by wild vegetation or even dive into the small lake formed by the water of the Penitente stream. There's a "panoramic" short-cut returning to the highway with great views on a rougher, but still passable road. You will spend a very pleasant afternoon.

Salto del Penitente falls tour finishes at the Airport, Hotel or Buquebus port.
