LUXURY HOTELS IN URUGUAY

LOVELY LAKESIDE SETTING

Estancia Guardia del Monte is 2,500 acre working ranch that’s packed full of big surprises. Firstly, it is a historic building dating back to 1800, with its own period charm. Yet there are only three guestrooms, so you quickly become a member of the family, and gain a feeling of what ranch life is like.

Then you step outdoors and realise that the vast ombu tree, that has taken on the shape of a fantastical sculpture, is not alone. There is a deeply fascinating forest of them within easy reach. Beyond lies a wetland refuge that has been designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO – and this is just the start of an unforgettable experience.
