This time of the year is when the Polo Spring season begins in Uruguay. The most important championships are played in parallel with the Argentine season. If you are a Polo fan then this an excellent time to visit Uruguay where you can play and besides you can go to Argentina to see some of the best matches in the whole year.
Uruguay has four major polo "centers" or regions where you will find most of the activity. These are Montevideo, Río Negro, Mercedes and Punta del Este.
In Montevideo you can visit the Carrasco Polo Club where in addition to Polo you can see Jumping.
In Río Negro you can visit the "Río Negro Polo Club" located in Young. This is my hometown and of course the best place to play polo!! ;-)
If you are interested in practicing polo, buying horses or playing some tournaments, visit us at "La Polaca" Polo Farm and we'll be happy to arrange something.
In Mercedes you will find the "Morteros Polo Club". This is a relatively new club which is becoming better every year, and they have very good players.
Finally, in Punta del Este there are two clubs, Medellin Polo Club and Punta del Este Polo Club which was resurrected a few years ago. Both of them are beautiful clubs.
Enjoy it!!
