Social Activities La Herradura offers social and extra-curricular activities throughout the week to suit a wide range of budgets and tastes. You can make the most of your time in Montevideo, socialize with the other students, practice your Spanish on the locals, learn about the history and culture of Uruguay, and have a go at different sports and activities. Here are some photos of a selection of our social activities. Above: Horseriding in the Uruguayan countryside followed by a hearty BBQ.

The activities vary from short, low-cost, after-class activities (a bike ride, visiting a park or a museum, a tango class) to whole day or weekend excursions (Punta del Este, outdoor activity weekends, camping), and they vary from week to week and throughout the year. Some may depend on the weather and the availability of equipment. A list of activities is displayed in the entrance hall and they are also presented at the Welcome meeting each Monday. Students are welcome to make their own suggestions for new activities and the school staff are ready to help students plan their free time in Uruguay. .
