Guaviyu Hot Spring Tours and Activities

Excellent location and superb staff

Authentic Uruguayan ranch life, unforgettable for our family. Jonathan is the real deal, warm, knowledgeable, and he makes you feel at home immediately. This is a true working cattle ranch experience, not a typical hotel stay, and that’s exactly what made it special. Jonathan was an outstanding host and teacher. We rode horses, herded cattle, kayaked, and milked cows. We saw plenty of animals and wildlife, including capybaras and ostriches, and even took a hammock nap before watching incredible sunsets. The atmosphere is peaceful, simple in the best way, and incredibly restorative. Delicious organic food is served three times a day, with snacks in between. Our family felt more connected here than we have in a long time. If you’re looking for comfort, quiet, and authentic Uruguayan countryside life, I highly recommend it. If you want something real, wholesome, and deeply grounding, this is it. We left feeling calmer, more connected as a family and to nature, and genuinely grateful. I think I even cried a little.

Has heated indoor pool and hot tub. Breakfast was typical South American buffet with fruits, yogurt, breads,cereals, eggs, and small sausage links. Billiard table on 2nd floor. My only upgraded that in my opinion is the shower/bathtub should be converted to walk in shower. I slipped getting out and hurt myself pretty good.
