"Authentic Uruguayan ranch life, unforgettable for our family. Jonathan is the real deal, warm, knowledgeable, and he makes you feel at home immediately. This is a true working cattle ranch experience, not a typical hotel stay, and that’s exactly what made it special. Jonathan was an outstanding host and teacher. We rode horses, herded cattle, kayaked, and milked cows. We saw plenty of animals and wildlife, including capybaras and ostriches, and even took a hammock nap before watching incredible sunsets. The atmosphere is peaceful, simple in the best way, and incredibly restorative. Delicious organic food is served three times a day, with snacks in between. Our family felt more connected here than we have in a long time. If you’re looking for comfort, quiet, and authentic Uruguayan countryside life, I highly recommend it. If you want something real, wholesome, and deeply grounding, this is it. We left feeling calmer, more connected as a family and to nature, and genuinely grateful. I think I even cried a little."

"The place is pretty new and clean. Great location, staff very friendly and very good breakfast, it had scrambled eggs, pastries, fruit, ham and cheese sandwiches and orange juice "

"Loved this dude ranch. The middle of nowhere. Like going back in time. Surrounded by gaucho culture. Lots of domesticated annimals and wildlife. Good wholesome home cooked meals. Friendly hosts. Great people. Super clean air and water. "

"Beautiful place !! Unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed. Rustic, off-grid but with all the comforts! Natural beauty of the sierras and the Uruguayan night sky while living in a cool dome. Laying in bed we could see orion thru the triangle sky window. We enjoyed the visit during the summer but can’t wait to visit in the cooler weather too. Interesting trails, sightings of wild birds and animals, beautiful restaurant with breathtaking views! We didn’t want to leave! What a relaxing place !!!"
