Line of Trees.

Located along the rural roads near Castillos in the Rocha Department, this distinctive site is less of a traditional national park and more of a living testament to Uruguay’s history of roadside conservation. True to its name, it consists of a deliberate, structured line of trees planted to break up the open countryside. While Rocha is famous for its wild Atlantic beaches and wind-swept dunes, this green corridor offers a completely different, human-sculpted landscape. It was designed to transform a simple travel route into a scenic, shaded pause, softening the regional winds and organizing the horizon. For road trippers, it is a quiet, minimalist stopover—a simple but highly photogenic landmark that encourages a slower, more deliberate pace of travel through the Uruguayan interior.
