We keep our group size small - with a maximum of 23 participants - to ensure quality and individual attention. A tour guide will provide insightful information and translation help, all backed by years of experience and a deep love of homeland.
•
We will open a waitlist once/if the trip has all spots filled. In the event of a cancellation, we will contact the next person on the wait list and they will have 48 hours to decide to join.
•
A note about mobility:
• There will be some walking, mostly flat, as we visit areas of Montevideo and the Manos cooperatives
• We will be taking a private bus between stops, so you must be able to ascend and descend the bus stairs
• We will be on the bus for a couple hours at a time as we drive from destination to destination. There is a restroom on the bus, and you can stand to stretch your legs. We recommend bringing knitting, of course!
• Unfortunately, we can't accommodate wheelchairs or scooters on this trip
