Uruguay is classic gaucho country. Though small by South American standards, it is about the size of
 Great Britain.
Horseback riding is an integral part of the culture as raising cattle is big business and the gauchos still depend heavily on horses to handle the cows. Riding is taken for granted here almost like walking is in some parts of the world. The Criollo horses are ideal for the terrain and will carry you comfortably through the hill country of the interior and along the white sand beaches of the coast.
