    Description

    Hello, we are Ben and Daniela, an Argentine-Uruguayan couple passionate about life and Marchadores.

    With the project we began to build an environmental and social project that seeks to cultivate the connection and encounter with nature, promote the power to experiment and learn. We firmly believe in personal growth when you live and feel life from a different perspective.

    To connect and “communicate” with the nature and the herd we explore and put into practice knowledges of mindfulness. We work from a holistic approach that includes preparing and sharing healthy and organic food.

    Hola, somos Ben y Daniela, una pareja argentino-uruguaya apasionados por la vida y los Marchadores.

    Con Marchadores estamos desarrollando un emprendimiento ambiental y social que busca cultivar la conexión y el encuentro con la naturaleza, promover el poder de experimentar y aprender. Creemos firmemente en el crecimiento personal cuando se vive y siente la vida desde una perspectiva diferente.

    Para conectarnos y “comunicarnos” con la naturaleza y la manada exploramos y ponemos en práctica conocimientos de conciencia plena. Trabajamos desde un enfoque holístico que incluye elaborar y compartir comida saludable y orgánica.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer you the opportunity to meet and enjoy life in a landscape of plain nature as well as the possibility of learning from it. You will meet a Marchador. Marchadores are unique horses of Brazilian origin with a smooth gait (marcha batida), docility and outstanding intelligence. We have a herd of almost 30 horses that includes Atrevido (the stallion), mares and foals and horses in "education". With the gatherings held at the Haras you will have the opportunity to meet Uruguayans who seek the teaching and peace of nature and animals. The organic garden is our main challenge. It includes vegetables and fruits, fish farming. Any help and deep knowledge on that would be welcome. We are not traditional people from the countryside (Marchadores is not a traditional farm), but we like to respect and learn from the local culture, scientific knowledge and those that nature offer us. We really like people who want to learn!

    Te ofrecemos la oportunidad de conocer y disfrutar la vida en naturaleza asi como la posibilidad de aprender de ella. Conoceras un Marchador, un caballo amblador de origen Brasileño con una comodidad increíble, docilidad e inteligencia única en un entorno de sierras único. Tenemos una manada de casi 30 caballos que incluye a Atrevido (el padrillo), yeguas, potrancos y caballos en "educación". Con los encuentros vas a tener la oportunidad de conocer uruguayos y gente de otras nacionalidades que buscan la enseñanza y paz de la naturaleza y animales.
    La huerta orgánica es nuestro mayor desafío. Incluye verduras y frutas, cría de peces. Cualquier ayuda y conocimiento profundo será bienvenido. No somos personas tradicionales del campo (Marhcadores no es una estancia tradicional), pero nos gusta respetar y aprender de la cultura local, el conocimento científico y aquel que nos ofrece la naturaleza. Realmente disfrutamos de las personas que quiere aprender!
