Cabo Polonio, resisting civilization

Author: admin | Files under Travel Advice, Travel Learning

Wow, that sounds a bit exaggerated the title, at the thought of trying that much of the evils of civilization and progress does not arrive. But at least in Cabo Polonio, its people trying to get away from many of the comforts and modern services to preserve a fantastic landscape, and resume a lifestyle that rescues in part the good we leave behind.



The approach to nature is more intense in Cabo Polonio , a somewhat inhospitable place on the coast of Uruguay (see Montevideo ), in the department of Rocha, where there are no streets, because it dispenses with the cars, no electricity, because nobody needs a TV, no running water, because the best is to use well water


in each house.

And if there is a time to reach Cabo Polonio is in the austral summer (December-March) because then the spell of warm weather retreats and leaves behind a ghost town that seems. Cabo Polonio has a coastline with islands and rock formations a reserve of sea lions, a lighthouse, dunes and little else.



The houses are rudimentary, and no electricity. The streets do not exist, because everything is done on foot. Nor is there any lights or street lighting. To arrive, do it on foot, about 7 miles between dunes and forest, or hire transport to near Cabo Polonio.

Although in recent years, some houses have the luxury of photovoltaic panels that allow a refrigerator, or the phone signal has flooded the air of the village, the essence remains. All, curiously a few kilometers (about two hours) of the coveted and glitzy Punta Del Ester.
