Discover the Serenity of Rio Santa Lucia

Getting There

• By Car

  If you are traveling by car within the Santa Lucia River Basin, first ensure you have a reliable GPS or maps application. Start from the center of Santa Lucia city. Head south on Avenida Artigas, following it until you reach Ruta 11. Turn left onto Ruta 11 and continue for approximately 15 km. Look for signs indicating Rio Santa Lucia, which is typically marked along the route. Once you reach the river, there are several spots to park along the riverbank. Ensure to check for any local parking regulations.

• Public Transportation

  For public transportation, locate the nearest bus terminal in Santa Lucia. There are regular buses that run to nearby towns along the Rio Santa Lucia. Take a bus heading towards 'La Paz' or 'Nicolás de los Arroyos' as these routes may have stops closer to the river. The bus fare typically costs around 50-100 Uruguayan pesos, depending on the distance. Once you arrive at your stop, you may need to walk a short distance to get to the riverbank.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer a more active way to reach Rio Santa Lucia, consider renting a bicycle. There are local shops in Santa Lucia that provide bike rentals for a daily fee of approximately 300-500 Uruguayan pesos. Start from the city center and head towards Ruta 11, following the same directions as you would by car. Riding along the roads can be enjoyable, but be cautious of traffic and ensure you have a map or GPS for guidance.

• Walking

  If you are staying very close to the Rio Santa Lucia or prefer walking, you can navigate using local paths. From the center of Santa Lucia, head south on Avenida Artigas until you reach Ruta 11. Depending on your exact location, walking to the river might take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Ensure to wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated, especially on warmer days.
