The Experience

We invite you to be part of our community and to share experiences that connect with what is essential: nature, people, and simple living 🍃. At Laguna Garzón, we work as a team to care for the environment, learn from local traditions, and build a more sustainable and conscious way of life. We particularly value experience in general maintenance (painting, electrical work, and carpentry) and the use of gardening tools.

The experience was great for resting. The work was light and easy. We had comfort and privacy. The host is very welcoming, accommodating and patient.

The place is isolated and, for those who do not have their own means of transportation, it makes it difficult to visit the surrounding towns, such as Las Garzas, José Ignacio, Punta del Este.
But the place is beautiful, very safe and well preserved, and for nature lovers it is a great experience.

I was very well received by Ana and Frederico at the reserve; the place is beautiful in the middle of nature and beside the lagoon
The tasks were easy and the time to do them was at my discretion; I stayed only 3 days and could rest and then continue my bicycle trip

The reserve is a beautiful place, ideal for anyone seeking to connect with a natural environment. Ana was an excellent host who always gave me everything I needed and allowed me to feel very comfortable. Her awareness and commitment to the environment, biodiversity, and native vegetation are very inspiring, and she manages to convey these aspects in a very beautiful way by sharing her daily life from this very beautiful nature reserve. I leave with a wonderful memory and a very beautiful experience! Thank you very much Ana🫂✨
