Santa Teresa National Park
Parque Nacional de Santa Teresa
A military-managed seaside forest park with a greenhouse garden, campsites and several unspoilt beaches. It is ideal for camping.
Santa Teresa National Park covers about 3,000 hectares. It has large areas of pine and eucalyptus forest, a greenhouse botanic garden (Invernáculo), a shaded garden, a small animal area and a large campground, and it is very popular with Uruguayan families in summer. Along the coast, Grande Beach, Mosa Beach and Punta Negra are uncrowded, with clear water. Entry to the park is free, but camping is charged. It can be visited together with the fortress and Punta del Diablo, and driving is the most convenient way to get around.
