Spend 4 days in La Pedrera, a quaint coastal village on the emerald coast of Uruguay. La Pedrera is a good alternative for travelers looking for a remote setting on the beach.
Highlights
Take the days at your own pace in this destination where time seems to slow
Sit atop the rocky formations along the coast and gaze out over the ocean
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
An English-speaking guide will meet you at a hotel, at the airport, or the port in Montevideo to take you to the bus station. Take the bus to La Pedrera where you are met and transferred to your home for the next three nights, the Pueblo Barrancas Ecolodge on the coast.
Relax and enjoy the beach and scenery of La Pedrera. The geological rock formations on this part of the coast create the perfect balcony to watch the big ocean, and its sandy beaches and clear water are inviting. Also known for its casual atmosphere, La Pedrera is that kind of place where time flows freely: You sleep when you need it, you eat when you are hungry, and you dress comfortably all the time.
Day 4: Return to Montevideo
1 Breakfast
After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the bus station in La Pedrera to meet the bus to Montevideo. When you arrive to Montevideo, a private transfer will take you to your hotel or to either the port (to return to Buenos Aires) or the airport for an evening flight to your next destination or to return home.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
