Discovering Uruguay On Horseback

This adventure offered so much diversity and beauty of Uruguay.....riding on the coast with the sounds of waves breaking...riding on the sand dunes....riding through the wetlands...riding deep in a lagoon to reach the other side with our horses walking in water up to their bellies...riding in the forests...riding up into the mountains...working with the gaucho's to herd cattle. We enjoyed having picnics next to beautiful trees and lagoons and staying in warm and comfortable estancia's, along with one-night camping under the starts. This ride exceeded my expectations because of our itinerary, the knowledge and planning that Mauro and Macarena provided, our friendly estancia hosts, and the beauty of Uruguay.
