Estancia & La Aurora, 2 Days
The mystery of La Aurora, then a night at a working thermal estancia
Two days out of town for the two things people ask us about most: the estancia where unexplained lights have been reported for decades, and a night in hot water in the middle of the countryside. The night is booked directly with the estancia. Transport and the visit are separate items, and we quote them when you book.
How to read the prices. Verified means the price the operator, the park or the bus company charges today. P50 estimate is our median estimate for 2026: half the time you will pay less, half the time more, depending on season and demand. To be confirmed means we quote it when you book, and it is not in the total. Dollar figures are a reference; locally you pay in Uruguayan pesos. Any time of year; the estancia pools are thermal. Book the night before you fix the date of the visit.

The night is a P50 estimate for two sharing; the estancia sets the actual rate. The La Aurora visit and the guide are to be confirmed and are not in the total. Still to price: The La Aurora story on site and the Padre Pío shrine, Optional: a registered bilingual guide for the visit. Nothing is paid in advance and nothing is paid to us: each item goes to whoever provides it.
