Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio
Grab your gaucho garb and head to Estancia Vik José Ignacio, a 12-suite working estancia set on 4,000 acres. Estancia Vik José Ignacio is romantic and rustic, paying homage to Uruguay’s nature. Beyond its white adobe walls lies bold architectural design and funky artwork by acclaimed contemporary artists. The living room’s white sculpture and Google Earth-inspired ceiling are surreal! Spend your days playing polo or by the pool. You’ll love the colorfully chaotic, tin-walled parrilla – a barbecue room with open pit. The myriad of activities include biking, canoeing in the lake, (full-moon) horseback riding, tennis, and surfing.
