Yvytu Itaty

Top choice in Uruguay


Pedro and Nahir Clariget's unpretentious ranch-style home, 50km southwest of Tacuarembó, offers a first hand look at real gaucho life. Guests are invited to accompany Pedro and his friendly cattle dogs around the 636-hectare working estancia on horseback, participate in daily estancia routines and sip maté on the patio at sunset in anticipation of Nahir’s tasty home cooking.

Call in advance for driving directions or to arrange pickup at Tacuarembó’s bus station (UR$1900 round trip for a group of up to four people).
