Agroland – the new attraction in Garzon

Agroland is a must when visiting Garzón

Agroland has become one of the best attractions of the east region of Maldonado. This is a highly recommended tourist proposal for tourists visiting Uruguay. The place is wonderful, the scenery of hills from the North of Maldonado suggest an enchanted valley, among vineyards, olive trees, lakes and streams.

Agroland is the new agro-industrial complex owned by the Argentinian Alejandro Bulgheroni. It is located at 175 of Highway 9, very near Pueblo Garzón and only 28km from José Ignacio.

It has an area of 4,200 hectares, there are 550 hectares of olive plantation and the agro industrial activity employs almost 750 including the  harvesting season that runs from April to June. Most workers come from the nearby city of San Carlos.

Agroland  is well prepared for visitors. Very friendly and bilingual hosts will guide you to the stone building  where the processing plant is located and to a mini cinema showing the ancient oil culture of olive trees. Then you will be guided into to a dark tunnel  and through a very creative display with the production stages,  you will learn the process of making the extra virgin olive oil.  You will not leave Agroland without becoming an expert in olive oil tasting. The three extra virgin olive oils Colinas de Garzon produced in Agroland have been awarded internationally. Tasting Coratina-Frantoio-Leccino and Picual- Coratina-Barnea with homemade bread is an experience that cannot be missed.
