Canelones
Canelones, the departmental capital of Uruguay's Canelones region, takes its name from the canelón tree — a cinnamon-related species that grows along the banks of the river of the same name. The town sits in the south of the country within walking distance of water, and has served as both departmental capital and seat of its own municipality since 2010.
