Salto
Overview
Salto is a pretty town of about 80,000 people in the centre of an Orange growing area. The main attraction is the Salto Dam, some 20 km from town. Tours to the dam can be arranged through the tourist office. The Parque Solari is northeast of the centre of town and although it is a bit run down it is still well worth a visit. Salto is close to the border with Brazil and most travelers will probably either be going or coming that way. Close to town are a number of hot springs. Fuente Salto is 6 km north of town, Termas del Dayman are 10 km south. It is in the citrus growing region of western Uruguay, on the east bank of the Rio Uruguay. It is closely connected to the neigbouring Argentinian city of Concordia that lies across the river on the western bank. Salto has just under 100,000 residents.
