Experience the Countryside

See the countryside available to all tourists to Uruguay -- amazingly only 20 minutes from downtown. Start at a Bodega Filgueira, one of the various vineyards in the proximity of the city. Then see the Hortifruticola 62 operated by the Fourcade-Marchisio family, who not only sell artesanal fruit and vegetable products but also cigars. Lunch is at the artist Leandro Estevez Lacava's house, complete with steel sculptures. Next stop is Quinta Capurro, which means that it is fifth the size of a farm and five times more luxurious. Finally get down to Abuelo Antonio's farm, where you'll get the chance to milk a cow. Tour takes place every other Sunday.
