arboretum lussich

This place is an oasis of peace and forest paths 30 minutes away from Punta del Este. It is a protected (once private) estate with varieties of trees from all over the world and magnificent views from the hill top. Entrance is free. You can take a picnic (but leave trash!). It's a good alternative on a sunny day if the wind is too strong for the beach.

lovely walks through trees and flowers with distant sea views shade if requiredmuseum of ceramic tiles and also lovely maps documents and pictures of the process of development of the garden and origin of house

Lussich was a visioner.......he brought all kind of trees from all around the world and located them in a place nobody believed they would survive, but they did, and they are really tall!!!! so so soooo many that when you are walking along this laaaarge garden you may believe you are in other part of the world and not in Punta Ballena. Fantastic place to breath pure aire, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere.

I enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the beautiful garden, well worth a visit.There is also a museum which is extremely informative.

Wonderful afternoon out even though it rained. There is a gentle slope as the wide gravel path curves upward. Interesting museum inside as well including a selection and history of tiles that were imported to Uruguay. We should have walked further but weren't sure about the map of the paths, but do continue past the tall viewing tower and then the pathway curves back towards the museum. A friend climbed the tower, a bit daunting with just a ladder to the ascent. It was a relaxing stroll, pleasant way to spend the afternoon with friends or family. Children would have a marvelous time on the path and exploring in the woods along the way.

Take a pair of walking shoes and set aside time to enjoy a relaxing stroll through a mature woodland, made up of an interesting collection of trees from around the world. The museum is worth visiting, but the best part is in the open air with shaded paths leading to openings with wonderful views of the coastline. It makes a refreshing contrast to the hustle and bustle of Punta del Este.

This incredible collection of trees and plants over a hundred years old includes exotic species as well as autochthonous which is in a short distance of Punta del Este and open to the public.

Can't speak to what the visit would be like in the summer, I've heard the grounds are beautiful, but in the winter there's not much to see. Nice that they keep it open since most places close but the building exhibits themselves are beyond scarce and there was no one there to assist you. We could find the trail maps that would explain the species of plants and ended up leaving. Would say it's not worth the trip to see in the winter!

excelente lugar para pasear y admirar la majestuosidad de la naturaleza. Un paseo gratuito y maravilloso para hacer en familia. imperdibles vistas . muy limpio y bien cuidado.

Un lugar con la historia de un visionario vanguardista. Increíble su obra al plantar todas esas especies en ese cerro. Único comentario negativo es que no todos los árboles tienen sus nombres.

O local tem uma bonita área verde com uma trilha fácil. Há alguns mirantes no caminho, um deles com vista pra Punta del Este. Vale a pena para quem gosta de contato com a natureza. Também para quem tem crianças.

Es un lugar precioso, con hermosas vistas. Recomiendo la visita guiada para aprovecharlo bien no sólo por la casa en sí sino, sobre todo, para que te expliquen acerca de las especies que se pueden apreciar allí.

Lindo ver tanto verde, lindo sendero para ir con la familia y hacer picnic en el mirador hasta el atardercer...una de las mejores vista en Punta. Muy Buen lugar!

Hace 68 años vengo a la Banda Oriental y recién hoy conocí el origen de la existencia de Punta del Este.Tremendo error de mi parte.El arboretum Lussich merece un reconocimiento y atención especial. Gracias a la visión , voluntad y tareas de la familia Lussich hace más de 100 años lograron cambiar el clima y la ecología de Punta del Este fijando médanos, parando vientos y generando un espacio de más de 190 Has en el que se puede apreciar la sana influencia del hombre a favor de la naturaleza.Infinidad de especies de arboles de todas las regiones del mundo conviven en un marco de belleza inigualable.Con vistas espectaculares y una energía positiva en el ambiente.Visitarlo es homenajear a los creadores y regocijarse en un reencuentro con las mejores condiciones humanas.Está abierto los 365 días del año atendido por personal bien entrenado y dispuesto del servicio de Parques Nacionales.La entrada es libre y gratuita.Me parece que hay aspectos materiales a mejorar y si cada uno aportase algo de recursos sin duda ayudaría a ese fin.Es una propuesta.Por lo pronto lo visitaremos nuevamente lo antes posible.Gracias a la familia Lussich.

Muchísimas hectáreas con todo tipo de ejemplares, algunos añejos, con distintos senderos que suben y bajan por sus colinas, donde se aprecian árboles gigantes, y plantas de todo tipo. La historia de Lussich y su familia, a quien se debe parte de ese gran legado en especies que hoy se puede apreciar, en su casa que hace de museo, muestra del valor y constancia de muchos de quienes amaron nuestro continente. Algo distinto en Punta del Este, que sólo requiere una colaboración a los hoy scout a que te guían.
