Garz\u00f3n, a town frozen in time, located in the east of Uruguay, 30 minutes away from Jose Ignacio\u2019s Lighthouse<\/b>, attracts tourists from all over the world, captivated by the magic of our country.<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Pueblo Garz\u00f3n<\/b><\/h2>\n

Its name comes from Uruguayan military man, <\/span>General Eugenio Garz\u00f3n<\/b> (1796-1851). He joined Artigas\u2019 forces in 1811, marched to Upper Peru together with General Jos\u00e9 Rondeau, joined San Mart\u00edn\u2019s army and accompanied him in his liberation campaigns in Chile, Peru and Ecuador. He later approached General Urquiza, whom he supported after he made his pronouncement against Rosas. Garz\u00f3n died at an early age; he was not able to fulfill the destiny that Urquiza had forged for him, that is, to become the president of the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Meeting Room of the Chamber of Representatives in Montevideo, on June 17<\/b>th<\/b> 1935, a bill to declare Garz\u00f3n a town was presented. <\/b>Back then, Garz\u00f3n had 470 inhabitants, and today it has slightly less than 300. It maintains the same layout, including the public square, the offices, the school, the shops and the railway station. <\/span>From the gravel road that leads to the hills, cutting through dry creeks and streams, it is possible to see grey granite quarries, windmills, sunsets and in the distance, the sea.<\/b><\/p>\n

Garz\u00f3n could have remained the best kept secret, but for a mysterious reason, <\/span>a few years ago it turned into a fashionable destination for the European and Latin-American high societies<\/b>, that during the summer, enjoy the calmness of the countryside, and choose it as the perfect place for their summer farms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located 30 minutes away from Jos\u00e9 Ignacio\u2019s lighthouse and less than 100 km <\/span>from Punta del Este, <\/b>Pueblo Garz\u00f3n<\/i><\/b> represents a haven for <\/b>bon vivants<\/i><\/b> that enjoy being among vineyards, olive groves, grey granite quarries, organic gardens<\/b> and moments of silence, the key element of the new concept of luxury defined by sophisticated travelers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pueblo Garz\u00f3n<\/span><\/i> was overshadowed by the demise of the railway, but began to regain its lost liveliness after pioneers such as the renowned Argentinian chef, Francis Mallmann, established his gastronomic venture or when <\/span>Bodegas Garz\u00f3n<\/i><\/b> placed great value on said lands with the first vine cuttings.<\/b><\/p>\n

The wine tourism and gastronomic offer of the area, causes dozens of French, North Americans, Argentinians, Brazilians and Italians to tour around town every noon, <\/b>in search of a bit of that magic and plain silence to find shelter and behold the daisies that grow freely,<\/span> creating a yellow carpet portrayed as an impressionist\u2019s work of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being the perfect destination for those in search of unspoiled nature, this town is no stranger to the intense social life of its neighboring cities of the coastline of eastern Uruguay. <\/b>In Jos\u00e9 Ignacio and Punta del Este, sunsets attract the latest trends and the nightlife last until dawn. Meanwhile, <\/span>Pueblo Garz\u00f3n<\/i><\/b> and its surroundings entice to rediscover silence.<\/span><\/p>\n
