The story

Festival del Lago Andresito in Andresito

Held each January at El Lago near the former village site of Andresito in the Flores department, this is the same event officially named Festival Del Lago, Andresito le Canta al Pais, a folk-music gathering drawing singers from across Uruguay and abroad to a lakeside site on the Rio Negro reservoir.

About sixty kilometers north of Trinidad, the capital of Uruguay's smallest and least populous department, Flores, lies a stretch of the Rio Negro known locally simply as El Lago, a reservoir created by the Palmar dam.

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

What makes the site and event distinctive is its setting: a reservoir on the Rio Negro formed by the Palmar dam, built over the location of the original Andresito village, itself named for the Guarani leader Andresito Guazurari Artigas, adopted by national hero Jose Artigas
