Uruguay – Explore the Unexplored
Uruguay is a virtually unexplored destination for traditional tourism. This small and peaceful country offers nature lovers an amazing variety of ecosystems mainly concentrated in the “Bañados Del Este” Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO). A unique place where, within short distances we can find: wetlands, hills, native forest, palm groves, sandy and rocky beaches, rivers, coastal lagoons and savannahs, all filled with an enormous diversity of birds – more than 400 species- and other wildlife like the endangered capybara, pampas deer, sea turtle and franca whale among others, which coexist in harmony with the cattle, sheep and horses that populate the vast pampas. The country occupies the sixth position in the Environmental Sustainability World Index 2002.
Lares Tours
Founded in 2000 by Paola Perelli, Lares started as a dream and joint of two passions: the passion for travel and the passion for her native country, Uruguay . Paola was exposed from the early age (her family was also related to the tourism industry) to the “art of travelling” the world and having travelled to many countries and following her own interests of seeking for genuine travel experiences off the beaten track, decided to share her passion and well kept secrets of this virtually unexplored destination with others.
