During your time in Montevideo, you will stay with a Uruguayan family where you will have your own bedroom and will share breakfast and the dinner with the family.
As a second stage and after a 3 hours’ bus trip, you will reach the place where the owners of the ranch -a couple on their mid thirties with their toddler- will be waiting for you.
During the 4-weeks stay you will share the daily life with the family. You will have your own private room (they have a unique bedroom for students, please contact us if a couple or friends traveling together want to participate in the program). All the meals are included.
