into comfortable places in which you can find the peaceful atmosphere of
the countryside to rest and escape from the constant tension that city
brings about. During holiday times or weekends farm owners lodge tourists
that come from other places of the country and the rest of the world. It
is perfect opportunity to relax. You will be surrounded by the serene environment
of the countryside where quietness, personal safety and the cozy welcoming
of the hosts will be the perfect air to settle down.

you can squeeze in everyday labor, become skilled at saddling and riding
horses, driving “sulky” and taste the most delicious home made
food.

games, the warmth of wood and the “mate criollo” (Creole) with
a group of friends will make your staying pleasant.

yourself with the interesting history of the places you will visit will
make your staying even more enjoyable than you think.
