Costa de Oro

Costa de Oro is a 45 kilometres (28 mi) long group of resort towns and beaches in Canelones Department, Uruguay, east of the Ciudad de la Costa.

[1][2] Until 19 October 1994 it also included all the resorts that became henceforth integrated under the name Ciudad de la Costa.

Since then, Costa de Oro contains only the resorts and locations of the area delimited by the streams Arroyo Pando to the west and Arroyo Solís Grande to the east and by the highways Ruta 8 and Ruta 9 to the north.

They traveled in wagons that were used as housing, and they transported food supplies, including chickens and dairy cows for a three-month stay.

Pines brought from Galicia, Portugal and southern France were planted, as well as eucalyptus and acacias.
