Back to basics in the Uruguayan wilderness
... us back to BA (after the 1 hour boat ride) at about 6pm. All in all, I can’t say that I warmed to Uruguay. Montevideo was soulless and the countryside really didn’t offer much at all. The ranch was amazing though and that did make it all ...

First Full Day at the Estancia
