Sustainable Tourism

Uruguay's geography offers a wide range of options for nature tourism. Travelers will not only find beaches and hills available on the menu of natural offerings. The quest for peace and the desire to be in touch with nature give way to ecotourism in its multiple forms.

There are numerous tourist ranches across Uruguay, where visitors can enjoy horseback riding, peaceful afternoons fishing in a lake, and traditional asados (barbecues), eating first rate beef, lamb or pork, as well as other more exotic choices of game meats, such as rhea, armadillo, hare, capybara or wild boar.

All of this is offered in an environmentally-friendly setting, without disrupting the area and affecting its ecosystem. Come rediscover the pleasure of bringing out the best of yourself and your family in harmonious places especially conditioned to make your experience last a lifetime.

There are many options available. From a weekend in the countryside, staying at a rural establishment for 20 dollars a day, where you and your family can get up at dawn, learn to milk cows and go horseback riding; or spending a weekend in a five star rural hotel for 100 dollars a person, all inclusive, in the middle of the countryside.
