Tupungato Ranches - Reviews and Rates

So.. Tomorrow is our last day of work. This week has been pretty crazy. Many nights that ended up way later than they needed too. Donīt worry Mum, it was because of pressing not partying. Weīre both kinda sad to be leaving Tupungato. Not sad to be leaving work, but I love our little orange house and this strange little town where nothing is ever...

He has a friend Rodrigo (a crazy b...
