From Florida to Minas, Uruguay

My motorcycle trip this time is from Florida to Minas, Uruguay.

It’s a journey of about 120km.

I am leaving Florida.

I cross the Santa Lucia River and leave the city.

My journey this time is a bit complicated because I’ll be branching off from Route 5 and heading towards Routes 12 and 6.

I entered Departomento Canelones from Departomento Florida.

About an hour after departure, I arrived in the town of Tala.

I’m going through Tala.

The road is a bit broken around here.

I left Departomento Canelones and entered Departomento Lavalleja.

As mentioned earlier, it appears that Route 12 needs some maintenance.

And I have arrived in Minas.

I will continue on towards the city center.

I left the Centro…

I have arrived at Libertad Square, the center of Minas

My trip this time was challenging due to Uruguay’s unique routes.

Until now, I had only driven on major roads, so I hadn’t noticed, but even in Uruguay, slightly less-traveled roads require some maintenance.

This is quite similar to Argentina.

There were no toll booths on the route I took this time.
