El Pinar was founded sixty years ago as a weekend and seaside resort for the better situated people of Montevideo, and it conserves this quiet and relaxed atmosphere still today. It's for people who love 'quality simplicity' and nature.

All homes in this area have electricity, drinking water, telephone, internet and cable tv. The infrastructure is excellent (super markets and other shops, health care, restaurants, schools, sports and leisure possibilities, garbage recollection, transport connections etc.).

El Pinar is at half an hour's drive from Montevideo and at a bit more than one hour's drive from Punta del Este. The international airport is at 15 minutes distance.
