Fuente del Puma, Mineral spring in Reserva Natural Salus, Lavalleja, Uruguay

Fuente del Puma is a natural mineral water spring inside the Salus Natural Reserve, in the Lavalleja department of Uruguay. It sits at 268 metres above sea level and its flow, though not precisely measured, is constant and continuous. The spring is surrounded by native forest that includes coronillas, talas, arrayanes and palos borrachos.

The spring was known for its curative reputation among the inhabitants of the Minas valley, who travelled more than twelve kilometres to collect its water. It was called "La fuente de los Talas de la Salud", apparently under indigenous influence, and sick people came from different parts of the country to drink from it. It also bore the name "Fuente de los Talas de la Coronilla", from the time when the woodland was inhabited by Guaraní Indians, traces of whose presence have been found in the area.

The name comes from a legend of a cave spring where a puma drank; the animal became the symbol of the site. The spring was also called "Fuente de los Talas de la Salud" and "Fuente de los Talas de la Coronilla", names linked to the Guarani presence in the area, of which traces have been found.

The spring sits at 268 metres above sea level inside the Salus Natural Reserve, in Lavalleja department; the reserve is reached from Minas, about twelve kilometres away, the distance valley residents once walked for the water. The flow is constant and continuous, though its volume has not been measured precisely. The surrounding park holds native trees such as coronillas, talas and arrayanes.
