PARQUE FRUCTOSO RIVERA

====== PARQUE FRUCTOSO RIVERA ======
At the Salinas bike route to Montevideo I bring you a small sample of a Natural Reserve of Fauna and Flora such as the General Fructoso Rivera de Carrasco Park, where you can share with the family and enjoy a picnic a few minutes from Montevideo.

"It was built by the French resident D. Pierre Durandeau (1844-1927), in low and flooded terrain, -a total of 40 hectares- where he planted thousands of eucalyptus trees, and then he had a large lake dug where they housed numerous aquatic birds and I trace beautiful avenues. "Villa Augustine", which was its first name, was sold to the capital city in 1929, by his son, José P. Durandeau, in such conditions that allowed him to preserve a precious private asset to release it to public use " Fountain:

En la Cicloruta de Salinas a Montevideo les traigo una pequeña muestra de un Reservorio Natural de Fauna y Flora como lo es el Parque General Fructoso Rivera de Carrasco

"Fue construido por el residente francés D. Pierre Durandeau (1844-1927), en terrenos bajos y anegadizos, -un total de 40 hectáreas- donde planto millares de eucaliptos, y luego hizo cavar un amplio lago donde albergaban numerosas aves acuáticas y trazo hermosas avenidas. "Villa Augustine" que tal era su primer nombre, fue vendido al municipio capitalino en 1929, por su hijo, José P. Durandeau, en condiciones tales que permitieron a este conservar un precioso bien privado para librarlo al uso publico"
