If there is a village lost in the sierra of Maldonado, it could well be Pueblo Eden<\/a>. Located between hills near San Carlos, it is one of the most beautiful villages in the north of Punta Del Este<\/a> and a famous day trip destination.<\/p>\n Maldonado authorities together with members of the organizing committee and neighbours, presented the varied program for August 2017.<\/p>\n Among the various proposals, the following presentations were selected:<\/p>\n Creole Circus Moriah will be held August 9th and 10th, 2017 In music matters, the Orchestra of Maldonado, the Folkloric Ballet of Sodre, Los Lugare\u00f1os and the Duo Larbanois & Carrero have all confirmed their performance during the centennial celebrations held during August.<\/p>\n If you take route 12 from Portezuelo, Punta Ballena<\/a> driving along the eastern side of Laguna del Sauce, you will end up on highway 9 and further up another piece of the route 12 appears guiding you along sierras to this charming little town.<\/p>\n Not only is it a village that sprouts in green, it also has architectural aspects of Spanish towns with white facades and tin roofs. A sign at the entrance warns that it is a quiet village where the top speed is 30 km per hour. The road entering the town gently guides you to the heart of the town where the church is, still portraying its beauty with hills of seven colors and spectacular sunsets behind the sierras. Skies during the day are always intense blue adding more beauty to the place.<\/p>\n The roads in Pueblo Eden are generally empty, people are seen in the gardens and occasional locals on their bikes are seen chatting in the front of houses, every now and then, horsemen ride through, a modern car arrives and drives around the streets. The improvement of communications makes so many Uruguayans and foreigners choose it as a place to visit, rest and stay to live.<\/p>\n It has countless attractions<\/a> such as lodgings of country houses, bed and breakfast, craft sale, organic market, country style restaurant and guided visits to wineries and oil mills. The prestigious UTE wind project: „Los Caracoles“ is nearby.<\/p>\n Trails from and to Pueblo Eden start in nature that seem magical either on horseback or trekking and reach some of the most emblematic places near the town.<\/p>\n Pueblo Ed\u00e9n<\/a>, also known as Mataojo, located a few kilometers from the border with Lavalleja, has a combination of cultural influences<\/a>, with founder\u2019s descendants who have lived here for a long time and new residents part of an increasing expat community that chose this place to live.<\/p>\n On August 8, 1917, Don Rom\u00e1n Furtado, owner of fields at the banks of the Pintado stream, divided his field into plots and this is how we can talk about the founding of Villa de Mataojo de San Carlos. The first settler of that Villa was Mr. Zoilo Mart\u00ednez and the first school teacher was Mr. Jos\u00e9 Frade. This was the start of being populated and transformed into what we today know as Pueblo Eden.<\/p>\n There was a time of great progress in the area when several industries were installed. We can remember the wheat plantations and mills of Tassano and Moreira. Today we still know of the famous warehouse of Jacinto Torres, a large store known as La Casona<\/a> – which was completely restored and is now for sale – where you could find everything.<\/p>\n Magnificent Restored Historic Country Villa in Pueblo Eden<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
