About Soriano
Soriano, Uruguay's cradle of national history, offers travelers an authentic immersion into gaucho culture and pastoral landscapes. Located in southwestern Uruguay along the Río de la Plata, this province is where the nation's independence movement began in 1825 at the historic Arroyo de la China. The capital Mercedes charms visitors with its neoclassical architecture, waterfront promenade, and the iconic Basílica de la Merced. Soriano is cattle country—visitors can experience traditional estancias (ranches), witness rodeos, and savor legendary asados (barbecues). The province boasts Uruguay's only natural lake, Laguna de los Patos, perfect for birdwatching and tranquil reflection. Don't miss the annual Fiesta de la Patria Gaucha in March, celebrating cowboy traditions with horsemanship, folk music, and culinary feasts. Soriano's slower pace, historic sites like the Calera de las Huérfanas Jesuit ruins, and welcoming rural communities provide a genuine escape into Uruguay's soul.
