Stretch Out

Valle de Lunarejo, Uruguay’s Patagonia
Once I read about this place, in an excellent Uruguay guide written by Tim Burford, I was ready to go, as it sounded like a wild region in the middle of nowhere, always a personal favorite. Asking about it, even friends who grew up in the Rivera region had heard of it but knew nothing. […]
Los Pozos Azules y Sierra de las Animas, wild Uruguay
I had heard vague and mostly non informative reports about the ‘blue holes’ almost since moving to Uruguay. But though many locals had indeed heard of it, nobody had actually been there. And the scarce written information was uniformly negative, slamming the dried up, muddy pozos, the constant threat of poisonous snakes, and the insufferably […]

Cerro […]

The communal habitat promotes more interaction and communication, and the exchange of vital information, pointers and tips can be priceless. I’ve met some […]
