QUINTA DE CAPURRO

Built in 1873 by Don Francisco Capurro, La Quinta was the childhood home of the famous writer José Enrique Rodó. Exhibitions of local crafts and products are held here twice a month. The old buildings, paths and gardens are worth a visit. La Quinta has its own nursery with a wide variety of plants and trees, including palms such as coco chileno and palmera datilera, paper trees, plane trees, and flowers such as camellias and wisteria.
