Laguna Garzón, Coastal lagoon between Maldonado and Rocha, Uruguay.

Laguna Garzón spans a large area of clear waters where the Garzón stream meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a natural boundary between two departments.

The lagoon served as a natural crossing point for early settlers until 2015, when a circular bridge replaced the traditional ferry transportation system.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices in the lagoon's waters, utilizing small boats to catch native fish species throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access the lagoon via the circular bridge connecting Route 10, with parking facilities available near the main observation points.

The circular bridge, designed by Rafael Viñoly, forces vehicles to reduce speed while crossing the lagoon, protecting the local wildlife.
