Ava milking a cow. She got to drink the milk she got from the cow. Amazing it was chocoloate! (they put chocolate in the cup)


Kai milking a cow also!


Ava eating a pancake with Dulce de Leche! Yummy! We will be bringing home as much as we can pack in our bags. I actually made myself sick!


We went to a local farm who is famous for the Dulce de Leche. To best describe it is as YUMMY! Kind of tastes like carmel, but not as sweet. Well it is sweet, but...hard to explain. I don't think I have met a person down here who does not love it. While we were at the farm there was alot for the kids to do. They got to milk a cow, feed a baby cow, see cow's hooked up and milked automatically by the machine, and we all go to eat a pancake (crepe) filled with YUMMY Dulce de Leche. It was a very nice afternoon. See below about the farm....

Tambo el Sociego is a dairy farm, founded with the goal of combining the rural countryside with the culture of the land, and have this be accessible to tourists. The farm provides free guided tours. Children can pet and bottle feed baby domestic animals; adults can observe the traditional ways of the Uruguayan people of the land. Horseback riding is available. They take wonderful care of their animals here on the farm. Tambo el Sociego produces a variety of milk products, which you can enjoy. They are most famous for their Dulce de Leche which is a delicious, thick, spreadable caramel. You can try it on their pancakes (panqueques). It's awesome!
