Get a taste of gaucho life with this full-day, moderately active visit to a 100-year-old working estancia (ranch). Begin at your pier where you will board transportation and travel out of Montevideo taking in views of its suburbs and historic Plaza Independencia. Step back in time as you arrive at Estancia La Rabida, a sprawling 2,470-acre, century-old ranch. Be greeted by the ranch's friendly owners who will escort you on a tour of their estate in a caravan of charming, tractor-drawn carriages and antique cars. Then try your hand at some of the gaucho's daily ranch chores. Indulge in a delicious asado (barbeque) luncheon complete with local wine, as you enjoy traditional gaucho dances and folk songs performed by your gracious hosts.
