Natural Protected Area Valle del Lunarejo, Protected natural area in Rivera Department, Uruguay
The Valle del Lunarejo spans 29,286 hectares of valleys with water streams, hills reaching heights over 350 meters, numerous waterfalls, forests, and grasslands.
The area near Masoller became the site of a significant 1904 battle where General Aparicio Saravia received fatal wounds during Uruguayan revolutions.
Stone buildings remain standing throughout the territory, marking strategic positions from historical conflicts between Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul.
Visitors can access the park through Route 30 near Masoller, Boqueron, La Palma and Lunarejo, with the Visitor Center located at kilometer 237.
The region contains over 150 bird species, margay cats, coatis, anteaters, and armadillos living among subtropical vegetation within deep basalt rock formations.
