Experience a Ranch in Uruguay
Estancias and gauchos are a quintessential part of Uruguay’s character and identity.
The warm hospitality of your hosts, abundant home-cooked meals, and the tranquility of nature will make your estancia stay unforgettable.
Most estancias and haciendas in Uruguay are large ranches or colonial estates, once owned by wealthy families who faced a setback in the past century. Today, they have been converted into beautiful accommodations, authentically reflecting deep history and beautiful, peaceful landscapes.
While staying at a countryside ranch, you will experience an alternative rhythm, where nature sets the rules of time. Immersed in the countryside, where the birds’ songs and lowing of the herds becomes a new kind of music, you will feel compelled to slow down, breathe deeply, and look forward to the magic of the beautiful sunsets.
Each ranch has its own unique character and amenities. Some are simple and rustic working ranches, while others offer more luxury accommodations.
Let us know what amenities are of greatest interest to you and we will recommend the estancia that best suits your interests and travel style.
