5.0 Best Dorado Fishing (27 reviews)
- Absolutely the best
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Fishing Charters & Tours

We booked two days fishing trip with Gianni. We were completely blown away by everything. Let's start with the fishing. The first day was very slow but Gianni kept us trying many different lures, techniques and area of the river. We end up landing one good dorado and had several hooked but got away. The second day was windy and rough but again Gianni delivered. We ended up landing three beautiful fish (one was really nice and large) and several hooked. The rest of the service was phenomenal. The two lunches that we had were superb gourmet food served in this unbelievable beautiful cabin on a bluff overlooking the river. The attention to the details (having appetizers ready for us and music) made the entire experience really memorable. See more..

5.0 Bodega Bertolini & Broglio (8 reviews)
- Excelente visita !!!
Spent 1-2 hours Wineries & Vineyards

Fuimos atendidos DIRECTAMENTE por su sommelier Franco Aliberti, sin cita previa. Interrumpimos su trabajo, y sin embargo nos atendió de manera muy agradable, explicándonos paso a paso la fabricación de sus vinos, su posición en el mercado, sus proyectos...Realmente valió la pena conocer esta bodega boutique. No hay degustación de los vinos, pero sí venta, por lo que aprovechamos para comprar varios de sus recomendados para probarlos en casa, y quedamos muy satisfechos con ellos. Visita muy recomendable.

4.0 Aquatic Park Termas de Salto Grande (508 reviews)
- Unusual water park
Water Parks

I've never been to a water park that had thermal water in it. My recommendation is to go before noon as it gets quite crowded later in the day. Bring your own lock, though, as they charge $10 to buy one of theirs for the lockers. See more..
4.0 Termas del Dayman (449 reviews)
- Really nice!
Spas

Had a nice experience with a bunch of friends. Spent a lot of time in it discussing about everything. Surely to do with friends or with your partner. Water is nicely hot, and there are various temperatures. Sad thing : no much variety in the sorts of pools. See more..

4.0 Gruta del Padre Pio (269 reviews)
- Finding inner peace
Religious Sites

If you are a catholic, this is a must. If you go there with an open heart, read the signs, pray all along the way, do the walking slowly... once you approach Father Pio you will be filled with his spirit and his eyes will reach your heart. But - if on the contrary, you are in a distraction mood and don´t pay attention to anything, you will only see a "statue". The surroundings are of pure nature, you can go down the hill and sit under the big tree, finding incredible peace in the silence. If there were guided tours, they could be very interesting for those needing more information. Best dress is casual, tennis shoes or boots, as the path is of pebbles and going down the hill and climbing is not good with high heels. A hat is required if it´s a sunny day, as in every other place. See more..

4.0 Museo Maria Irene Olarreaga Gallino (23 reviews)
- Great Small and FREE Museum with Tour Guide
Points of Interest & Landmarks

I really liked this cute museum. Beautiful house, too. A museum docent showed me around most of the house. She didn't speak much English, and I don't speak much Spanish, but it was fun. I've always liked audio tours, so I didn't mind having someone politely following with me to explain things (and gesture) a bit. It's free! And took me maybe an hour total. See more..

3.5 Salto Shopping (31 reviews)
- Just another mall
Spent More than 3 hours Shopping Malls

You know the saying "happy wife happy life"so as usual we stopped at the mall because Uruguay is full of shoe stores and my wife is a shoeaholic. And then I get to sit out front and people watch and catch up on my Trip Adviser reviews so it's a win-win for both of us Lol. Small town -small mall,limited food court but enough to satisfy.
