Review by GastonBarra de Valizas
A small people of fishermen and handmade shrimp sellers there are the principal attraction of the beach.
She is located in the southeast of the department
of Rocha, more precisely in the kilometer 271 of the national route
Nº10. It is located opposite to the sea and along with the mouth of the
creek with tsame name in the Atlantic Ocean.
The best option to come to her is to go up to the Rocha locality for national route Nº 9 and there to take the provincial route Nº 10. 160 are approximately the kilometers that separate them from the city of Top of the East and are to 275 kilometers of cardinal Montevideo.
It is the Mecca of the fanatical persons of the Sea, the sand, the sun and the informality of the holidays.
Very little urbanized, a faithful public receives with intelligentsia predominance.
Somewhat informal and of calm appearance, it is of big night "agitation".
It is provided with a magnificent beach and enormous nearby dunes - Hill of the Good Sight - to which one comes walking towards the south, after crossing the creek and gait for one hour, good protected from the sun.
The magnificence of more than 3.000 ombúes, loaded of centuries grouped in the biggest botanical set of the world, offers the majestic, only and safe spectacle.
Thick and imposing, they reach absolutely unimaginable sizes, without losing the peculiarity of every copy.
A part of the forest of ombúes can be visited sailing along the curvilinear creek Valizas. For it, it is necessary to come up to the bridge that crosses the creek, on the route 10 and to hire the service of specializing guide. In boat, there are covered five kilometers that are distant to the east of the Valizas in the lagoon of Castles, where the entry to the forest is.
The passage lasts twenty minutes and it is a walk in itself. Big number of biguaes has an interview, ducks of different species, white herons and mulberries, teros and teros real, storks, coots, cuervillos, swans of black neck, white geese and chajaes.
The qualified area of the forest of the State, borders on the bank of the lagoon with more than hundred ombúes. Many of them grew embraced to thick crowns, in an association that wakes up the curiosity of the technical staff and supports them studying that one symbiosis, her to try to explain. Until now, the experiences would demonstrate that, if they grow together from a beginning, they will coexist without problem, but once one of two species grew, if one tries to implant other one to him nearby, it would not allow him the development.
Although the absence of rings in his trunk prevents from determining the age of an ombu, it is believed that there are copies of more than 400 years, calculation based on the crown with which simbiotiza. In contrast to the exotic forests, the native ones are united and they allow the coexistence of several vegetable species in the same space. Here there can be appreciated the coexistence of ombúes, choppings, ceibos, espinillos, myrtles, enviras, burucuyaes, for naming the most well-known. It prospers also, big fauna wealth.
HISTORY
There is not easy to boast exactly in what date there appear the first references of Barra de Valizas, but is knowledge that, from the epoch of the Spanish conquest, already was known about the springs of fresh water that emerge from the dunes, creek costs above to few meters of the coast. The history tells that the sailors were looking for security in the Castles vahía when the of the pampas one was getting worse and in these springs they were stocking up with water for his long trips.
For the year 1717 the French pirate Etienne Moreau, was devoting himself (between other things) to the contraband of leather of cattle that was working in this area and it developed his activity until, on May 25, 1720, a clash with troops sent by Don Bruno Mauricio de Zabala supervised by Don Antonio Pando and I Skate it finishes this clandestine activity.
Later the first settlers came, some native to the place and others, survivors of some of the shipwrecks happened in this area, as a result of it the River Plate was named by the French sailor of surname Boucarot like the "hell of the navigators" on having written the first Manual of Navigation in the year 1857.
The contiguity of the creek with the sea, the fertile grounds and the good fishing were tests sufficient for the founders, who initially were located in the current south margin of the creek, grouped in rancheríos that they ended buried under the sand as a consequence of the advance of the dunes, after years of existence. Today it is possible to observe some rest of construction when the creek erodes the dunes and leaves it to the overdraft. Before this reality the majority set off, and others crossed the creek to settle of another side, far from the advance of the dunes but close to the creek and the sea that was giving them life.
In both shores, the apprehension of the black sea bass and the shark was done at little distance of the bank or from the same one, and as a consequence of the abundant fishing he installed to himself a fishing company (The Copur) with proper fleet, in the side of the dunes. It was provided with a landing strip that the owners of the company were using.
In that one then it did not exist good ways and the trips were realized, in car thrown by animals or on horseback. To travel to Montevideo was a real passage.
What today we know as the people of Barra de Valizas was an extensive sandbank, which then was moderated by the MGAP afforestations, and the ranches that gradually were located there. The creek was not also following the course that it has at present, in that epoch the mouth was opposite to the current main street, being the small lagoon a track of this water course. The origin of the name Sweeps of Valizas or rather Beacons, it is still nowadays in discussion.
A legend tells that the ancient inhabitants were putting mobile lights on the coast to cheat the navigators who were thinking about discerning a port and were finishing covered with stars in the rocks while the "black ponchos" that this way were named of the bandits who were living in the area were assaulting the remains of the shipwrecks and hence the name Beacons.
Others tell that in the mouth of the lagoon Castles, where he is born the creek Valizas surrounded by the forest of ombúes there was a crossing that was characterized for being low and that was u.tilizado for the travelers that they were moving from and towards Big Rio, this step was signposted by a few stakes that were going from shore to shore, hence the name creek Beacons, later named Valizas
