Paso de los Toros, River city in Tacuarembo Department, Uruguay.
The urban center extends along the northern bank of the Negro River, featuring wide streets and gardens near the Centenario Bridge connecting north and south.
The settlement gained village status in 1903 under the name Santa Isabel, later becoming Paso de los Toros city in 1953 through Law 11.952.
The Santa Isabel parish displays Gothic architecture elements and serves as a central point for religious gatherings of the local population, called isabelinos.
Visitors access the city through Route 5, located 140 kilometers from Tacuarembo and 232 kilometers from Montevideo, with multiple accommodation options near the center.
The Dr. Gabriel Terra Dam, Uruguay's first hydroelectric facility, creates a 120,000-hectare artificial lake offering fishing and water activities.
