Audio Guide of Willow Park

Willow Park is open to the public during the day, generally from 8:00 AM until sunset. It is an open public space, so no advance booking is required—just arrive and enjoy. I recommend checking the exact opening hours on the official Paso de los Toros Tourism website or once you arrive in the city, as they may vary by season.

No! One of the best things is that access to Willow Park is completely free. You can enjoy its scenery and facilities at no cost. It is a public space designed for the enjoyment of the community and its visitors.

To explore Willow Park at a relaxed pace and enjoy its different corners, I suggest allowing at least 2 to 3 hours. If you like to relax, have picnics, or stroll more leisurely, you could easily stay longer. It is an ideal place to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Willow Park is a key green lung for Paso de los Toros, serving as a gathering and recreation space for local residents. Its name reflects the abundant presence of willow trees, typical along the banks of the Negro River. Beyond its scenic value, it symbolizes the city's connection with its natural surroundings and its history. You can find more details about local heritage on the Paso de los Toros municipal website.

The best time to visit Willow Park is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), when the weather is milder and the colors are vibrant. As for the best time of day, I recommend going early in the morning to enjoy the peace and quiet, or in the late afternoon near sunset for spectacular views and more pleasant temperatures.

As a natural open space, Willow Park has dirt paths and grassy areas that may present some limitations for visitors with reduced mobility. However, there are flat and accessible zones that allow visitors to enjoy much of the park. It is always advisable to contact the local tourism office for updated and specific accessibility information. The Paso de los Toros tourism office phone number is 4364 0000 (extension 134 for tourism).

Paso de los Toros has several attractions to offer. Do not miss Constitution Park, the Bull Monument, and of course the Rincón del Bonete Dam (also known as Gabriel Terra Dam), an icon of Uruguayan engineering. You can also enjoy water activities on the Negro River. You can find more information about what to do in Paso de los Toros in the tourism section of the municipal website.

Of course! I recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, mosquito repellent (especially at sunset), and sunscreen. If you plan to have a picnic, bring your own food and drinks, and do not forget a bag to take your rubbish with you. And do not forget your camera to capture the beautiful scenery!
