Nothing to pay up front. I'll confirm your booking by WhatsApp or email within 12 hours, Monday to Friday. To arrange it I pass your name, contact details and the details of your request to the operator, and nothing else; I do not use them for anything else. On the day itself you pay the operator directly, in Uruguayan pesos at the equivalent of the price shown in US dollars, either in cash or by bank transfer.

By sending the request you accept the terms. How I handle your details is on the privacy page.
