En el corazón del Uruguay San Gregorio de Polanco is a small town of Departamento de Tacuarembó. It was founded in 1853, and nowadays has a population of 3.000 inhabitants. San Gregorio is situated on the artificial lake of Rincón del Bonete, at river Negro. It is a quiet, familiar place, and its main attraction is the "open museum": a group of painters did their works over the walls of houses and public buildings.
To visit San Gregorio from Montevideo, you have to take Route 5; at km 306, take Route 43 until you find the town.
